What emotional need would precipitate a person, man or women, to abstain from an intimate relationship with other people while waiting for their lost/abdicated/dissipated love?
This behavior is not uncommon, and I would not be surprised to find that it has been researched. You might find information regarding this topic in your school's library or media section. Try Psych info or something along that line.
It’s funny that while reading your post I had this image of a dog laying on the front porch waiting for its master to come home. Every car that drove by would be greeted with a lifting of the dog's head and rising of its ears and a momentary wag of its tail in wishful anticipation.
I would also be interested to see how prevalent this behavior is across different age groups.
