In this article, the author used an optimal size of 522 college students that included the friends and family of the same college students. This study seeks the participation in a self-assessment study on whether or not a former couple remained friends after a dissolution of a romantic relationship. The breakdown consists of the following:
• 179 males
• 345 females
• 32.2% Caucasians
• 55.4% Latinos
• 6.1% African Americans
• 3.4% Asians
• .4% Middle Eastern

L. (2013). A phenomenological study of falling out of romantic love. The Qualitative Report, 18, 1-22. There wasn’t a particular question that the author of this article addressed but after reading this article I find that the main question of this article revolves around “What is the core process and reasoning of people falling out of love, when it seems “so right” from the beginning and after such a long time”?

I agree completely with the involvement of how the brains hormones, dopamine levels, norepinephrine levels, oxytocin and neurotransmitters work within the brain and body which in fact can make this research credible. The use of fMRIs is a huge impact in this section of the research and the chemical basis for what humans call “love”. The dependability of this research can be unstable because not every person is affected the same as the next person when it comes to a break-up. Are the participants actually being trustworthy in answering the questions, or, are they just saying the complete opposite of what they are really feel due to the anger, hatred and pain of a break-up? The limitations of this research only consists of heterosexual relationships that are between one man and one woman. In today’s society, the mixture of different genders and the love they have for their same-sex diversified partner should be strongly considered. Love comes in many ways and the reasoning for the ending of any relationship between two people, regardless of gender, should not be based on the results of only eight heterosexual people. Further research is needed to obtain a broader range of why people fall out
