How it's used
Focuses specifically on romantic betrayal or the shifting of affection from a current partner to a new one. It carries a heavy emotional weight and is almost exclusively reserved for serious romantic relationships rather than casual dating or general changes of opinion.
Examples
Has he changed his heart? Why is he so cold towards me?
I don't want to see him change his heart; our relationship is very stable.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe changing one's mind about a decision or a preference, as that would be 改變主意. It is strictly for romantic loyalty.
