A gut feeling is an instinctive emotional reaction towards a certain person, object, or situation. A person who has a gut feeling over something couldn't point out the reason why he feels that way.

Love can make people do crazy things. It can prevent a person from thinking clearly and seeing what really is going on.

A person who is in love may look only at the good side of things while ignoring the bad ones because he/she is afraid of losing the other person. This is why many people get hurt and abused in a relationship.

The gut feel is the one telling you that your partner is cheating on you even if he/she seems to be happy with you.

Another scientist added that the unconscious brain, which produces the gut feelings, is wise because it always picks the best decision.
