On the most base level, it might fall under "had sex, don't care".
But on a different level, that person now has a family that wants his presence, that looks upon him as being important. So, maybe that's a big boost to the old self-esteem.

Romantic love (i.e. infatuation, to use less loaded language) isn't all its cracked up to be either. It's just a state your body produces to encourage reproductive behavior. It produces great highs now, at the cost of great lows later, and thus it's terribly addictive. It's no more noble than heroin.
