A man relentlessly pursues a woman for many years....she rejects his advances....until he finally wears her down and she accepts....they spend a year and a half in loving bliss...it's everything he ever thought it would be....THEN when he realizes she really does love him....he starts losing interest.
I would say this happens more with men than women. The saying "familiarity breeds contempt" is not the exception here. Guys like having the chase, and when they've won the prize they start to lose interest because they are liking the wrong thing - the chase and not the woman. Just because it happens doesn't mean that it is right. It can be balanced out by his learning to appreciate what love really means, himself, the woman, and by knowing the nuances of his (immature) behavior so he can conquer/control it.
