Why does the end of a passionate short-term romance sometimes feel more devastating than a longer-term relationship?

1:15.2 | always planned to go traveling left to go traveling. And in the process she had hoped |
1:20.2 | that maybe it would become a long-distance relationship, maybe she could go with him for part of it. |
