I thought of this question when i heard a lot of break-up cases lately.. Well, what I've found out is that girls definitely agree to this.. which is how long you're in love definitely means how much you're in love.. (for majority) For girls, whenever they fall in love, they will be only loving their partner more as time goes by... Perhaps this is because girls are afraid of aging, and doesn't wish to break up in a later stage of life... When break up does happens, a girl takes a longer time to recover from the pain that she had experienced... If she's in love for a month, she might take half a year to forget.. If she's in love for a year, she might use 2 years to forget..
But, for guys I've known, like a friend of mine, he only took a year to forget his relationship with his 1st love for 4 and a half years.. That's pretty fast huh? (at least for me)...
And I always wonder why do the break-up cases I've heard are so pitiful... Like couples for 8 years that are preparing for marriage broke up because the guy got a new gf... Don't they realize relationships don't come easy? 8 years of love can't compete with a new love of only a month?
Another case is that, the guy wanted a break-up with his gf for 5 years just because he said he found his true love... and how I've wondered.. what is the gf of 5 years? not true love? if not, then what is she?
Perhaps this equation is not suitable for guys at all.. (majority) For them, how long you're in love definitely is not how much you're in love... The time consumed in a relationship doesn't really matter after all...
