Being absorbed by a new interest or being busy or away aren't quite the same thing as not being into your partner anymore.

That's certainly true. But, again, IME being OK with not being the absolute top priority in one's partner's life 100% of the time helps one deal with all four of those not-quite-identical things.

I should also note that your first description made it sound like a temporary thing, whereas your second description makes it sound more like a change of the baseline; is that intentional, or am I just over-reading?

Temporary but lasting several months, I'm told.
