When a man is in love, does he forget about all his problems ( including those pertaining to separate relationships) ?

[Anonymous]

I’m having relationship problems with a guy that fell for someone else whilst we were talking. There was a keen interest involved. I told him it had affected my mental health but he didn’t respond and now ignores my feelings to be with her.

Is this acceptable behavior?

No, because we are wired to be on the lookout for threats and then dealing with them. Being in love alters the priorities of that, but that's it.

How significantly?

[abc3643]

Please elaborate. What specifically do you need to know "how significantly"?

[Asker]

By “Significantly”, I was referring to how the love alters the problems?

[abc3643]

It does in the sense that, with the woman he loves, he has new priorities and potential problems with her.
For instance, "Her birthday's coming up. I gotta get her something good. That will cost me money, so I have to save or cut down on other expenses now."

For most guys is hard to forget their first true love, the can love again though.
