Well you have to earn money to eat. What I meant by this is that whatever
our chemical cycles are doing their effects are going to be overidden by
society. I know plenty of couples who have been forced to take a job a
great distance away from their partner and trying to keep the
relationship going (suggesting no loss of attraction) but the situation
usually destroys the relationship despite both partners being attracted
to each other.
