Misdirective love

[Jessica]

A love or relationship that helps you realise your actual love for another. It is where you have been too distracted with your current partner to be mindful of anybody else, however, once the [honeymoon period] of the relationship passes, you realise the [misdirection].
It works much the same as the misdirection used in a [magic trick] or a pickpocketing, where you realise that your watch or wallet is gone.
