Hi Chado2423,

My personal view of love is that it is created by a mixture of the neurochemical states of both partners. See this page for details:
Interpersonal chemistry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

While some may see this is a reduction of love, the most important result is that a breakup is fairly easy to get past. All you have to do to feel the same feelings again is to align the chemicals in your brain a certain way (by stimulating the ventral tegmental area and caudate nucleus and by increasing oxytocin and endorphins for instance). Many people do this by getting with another partner who stimulates the same response in them as their previous partner did.

Here are some other resources on moving on after breakups:
