However, Ryan Murphy wanted to take a different approach in the film where Liz’s relationship with Stephen ends because she is no longer in love with him. In her book, her relationship with her husband comes across as more turbulent she also emphasizes their unsuccessful efforts to get pregnant. However, the actual reason why Gilbert’s marriage broke down is slightly different than what is portrayed in the film.
