I'm sure they do love each other within their own sphere of definition. The accounts of what they're like with each other are consistent - it's a parasitic co-dependent relationship: Ian needs Anisa to give structure and purpose to an otherwise aimless life, Anisa needs Ian to be the backbone to enforce all of her neurosis and endless hang-ups. They enable each other's worst tendencies and take comfort in allowing the other to define themselves. Anisa sets Ian a task, and Ian does so because Anisa's personal worth (his own investment) depends on it. They vindicate the other.Even if we are completely wrong about their relationship and they are very loving and shit.
We've compared Anisa and Ian to Cersei and Jamie Lannister in the past but its apt to see them as a low-stakes, less principled version of the same. I completely buy they 'love' each other only because their mutual enablement cultivates a reality where their venal sense of right and wrong becomes the only thing they understand and everything else becomes relative. They're about at the point where they won't even pretend to have principles because this pretence of righteousness is too difficult. All they'll think is "we're the only two who matter."
Ian has committed multiple instances of career suicide on Anisa's behalf and has gotten nothing in return but more grief. There's not much more you could ask from a loving partner.
