Of course someone has changed when people fall out of love - they were in a state when the other's happiness mattered to them. For a myriad of possible reasons, that state changed.
Love is an emotional state, not a perpetual one. Ever been angry at someone and that anger just 'winked out' or gradually faded, even though you did nothing about it? Samesies.
