Was Paul McCartney's Marriage To Linda Really That Happy, And Was His Marriage To Heather Really That Bad? - Page 2
Why did the marriage work? According to the article, it was because Linda accepted how the relationship worked, but also because she was, at heart, a gentle person. I'll also add my thought...I think she loved Sir Paul, even with his faults, and I think Sir Paul loved her, as much as he could ever love anyone.
So how does this factor into Sir Paul's marriage to Heather Mills? When he met Heather, by all accounts he was a broken man, still grieving after the death of his beloved Linda to cancer. He was depressed, sad, and he wasn't performing...but suddenly, here was a golden light at the end of a dark tunnel. He pursued her, wooed her, and finally won her over...although, by some accounts, she was more than ready to be wooed, it was just a matter of going through the motions.
But Sir Paul soon found out that Heather was no Linda. Strong-willed, feisty, and egotistical, just like himself, she was completely the opposite of Sir Paul's first wife. For a while, it seemed that he was entranced by this change in his life, enough to chase after the outspoken blonde and enough to propose...which she accepted.
However, in a clash of egos, one has to win and one has to concede. There just is not room for two stars in a marriage, and Heather, by many accounts, could not handle the fact that her husband was more famous and loved than she was or was likely to be. In this case, it seems that both people are claiming victory and neither are willing to give an inch. As the marriage broke down, Heather made tapes of her own, supposedly with Paul's consent, detailing such things as their sex life, his refusal to give more of his vast fortune to charity, and supposedly an admission that he hit Linda "once or twice". And it seems that Heather played this part of the tapes for unnamed people between takes in her media blitz last week.
Now it seems that Heather is having second thoughts about her series of defensive interviews after Sir Paul has hinted that he would press for full custody of their daughter, since Heather intimated that their lives were in danger. In a meeting with Sir Paul and his legal team, they reportedly are trying to hammer out some sort of deal.
