She's a sociologist. There are a lot of interviews in the book. She uses the Russell story as one example of a type of breakup, the sudden revelation. Another is a building up of petty grievances. I don't recall the whole list, but she doesn't go into details about Russell.
Hello Jeremy, it's great to hear from you again. I had missed your reflexions.
Have you read Eva Illouz's book The End of Love? Eva is a Marxist of sorts, not the Che Guevara kind, but more the Adorno kind. She analizes how love has become a supermarket or Amazon where we pick the product that appeals to us most and then discard it when a new product appears on the market. Eva suggests that just as we have rules for financial markets, we need rules for love. She's not talking about written laws obviously, but codes that dictate, for example, that you shouldn't dump a vulnerable person who depends on us. I agree. By the way, Eva uses the example of Russell in her book.

Hey Amos, Hope you’re doing well!
I haven’t read the book.
Somebody has already said the same…!? Bet she didn’t reference Lytton Strachey as a potential love object! 🤣
