Was Paul McCartney's Marriage To Linda Really That Happy, And Was His Marriage To Heather Really That Bad? - Page 4
Is this a case of the little girl who cried wolf, or is this another one of her stretched truths? The problem is, until she actually plays the tapes for people to hear and transcribe (and not just heavily edited versions cut to make her look good), we won't know. And even then, we won't really know, since all we will know is what Sir Paul chose to say. He could have flat lied. My guess is that the two of them will come to an agreement before that will happen, and then she'll be able to say that she is prevented from playing the tapes because of a clause in some legal paper.
But that now brings us full circle. Was Sir Paul's marriage to Linda really that happy? Was he abusive in any sense of the word? We simply don't know. But I'll guess that their marriage was like any other long-standing marriage...full of ups and downs, of fights and reconciliations, of arguing and laughing, of harsh words and kind phrases. They were young when they got married, and people often mellow with age from the brashness of youth. The hot temper of a young person can sometimes cool down with the passage of time. And Linda's marriage was obviously very important to her...so much so that she was willing to do just about anything to help it along. Did that mean putting up with Sir Paul's tempers and ego? Possibly. But it is also possible that through her gentleness, kindness, and obvious love for the man, she helped him quiet the demons inside him and they settled down into a happy and fulfilling partnership. Once again, I am in NO way condoning spousal abuse, but I just don't think that was the case with Sir Paul and Linda.
Was it the case with Heather? Due to her rather informal relationship with the truth, we may never truly know.
