When couples struggle with analyzing their falling in love experience

My partner and I both experienced that overwhelming rush when we first met six months ago, but now they're saying they need space to 'figure out if what they felt was real or just chemicals' and I'm terrified that analyzing it will kill whatever we have. We're both intellectuals who love understanding things, but this feels like something that might not survive being dissected.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The tension between understanding love scientifically and preserving its mystery is threatening their connection.
