Interesting. I remember that essay when it came out, and I remembered wondering if they could sustain that. Guess I know the answer. 
For those of you, like me, that read or heard about the orginal essay when it came out, here is a follow-up essay that received far, far less publicity

From the essay...
"Back in 2008, I was met with the words, “I don’t love you anymore. I’m not sure I ever did.” And an encore in 2011: “It’s not that I don’t love you. It’s that I’m not in love with you anymore.” The first time, I believed that the relationship was salvageable. The second time, I knew the marriage had to end."

I read that and all I can think is--wow, that's 3 years she could have spent establishing herself as her own person, looking for new relationships, whatever, instead of holding on to this marriage.
