I think you make more far reaching assumptions about wood elf relationships than the source material actually states. It states that wood elves are calm and level-headed and often cease relationships and engage in new relations without much drama. As I read it that makes them have a calm and sensible approach to the fact that things such as attraction, infatuation and romantic feelings will often change and fade. Not that they are fleeting or averse to deeper emotional bonds.
