What does this sentence "I couldn't love you anymore" mean?

What does this sentence "I couldn't love you anymore" mean?

I would like to know which meaning is correct.


I wasn't able to love you anymore "in the past".

or

I can't love you anymore than I love you "now".


Does it depend on the context?

anonymous I couldn't love you anymore. In American English this means I wasn't able to love you any longer (in the past). On the other hand, I couldn't love you any more (Note 'any more' as two words) means There is no way that I would be able to have any greater love for you than I already do now.
