I think its more of an illusion of betterness. You really end up feeling worse overall, you get a HIT when you are with them and have sex, but then when you go back to reality here comes the crash :
I think my fundamental point is that these affairs are not the same thing evidently as a regular romantic relationship.
I have dated lots of people, and I don't ever recall having back pain, stomache aches, headaches, insomnia, or any of those symptoms.
All these people claim they are in love, but I really think this is a very different animal. I find it offensive to hear them even dsscribe what they are feeling and doing as love. Its akin to a stalker insisting he is in love with the object of his obsession.
Its not love, its a sickness and has physical evidence and symptoms...they just can't see them
