I believe there were clearly other relationships "up in the air" that distracted her from working with and whom was NOT "up in the air".

All we were allowed to see into her life was a child(ren) running up the stairs and sound of man's voice asking who was at the door.

I also wondered at the end of the movie if George's character was going to pursue a relationship that gave him roots and significance. The movie left you wondering......
