A Failing Marriage or Just the Next Step?

The relationship between Amit and Megan fascinates me greatly. Throughout the majority of the chapter it seems that their relationship is on the decline. Their actions towards one another - Amit ditching Megan at the wedding, Megan flirting with Ted, Amit still having unrequieted feelings for Pam - makes it seem like they no longer love one another and that divorce is eminent for the couple; however, after watching the nuances of their relationship a little bit more closely throughout the chapter, it seems apparent that they still deeply love eachother, it is just no longer a passionate and all-consuming love. The way that Megan still notices how much Amit drank at the party, and how she still understands the ins and outs of his mind enough to find him in the hotel room, makes it apparent that they have fallen into a more comfortable version of the love that they still feel for eachother. Although this is not the type of love that little girls dream about, it is a comfortable love where both participating parties can truly be themselves without filters.
