Why do you think Elvis was shocked about the separation?

[Sweet_One_E.]

When his Cilla left him. the marriage was terrible and it's said they hardly lived togeather. She in California, he in Tn. did he really think she didn't know about the other women? some one had to leak it, or at least some of them. why in the world would he think they could go on like that or why would he want to??

[presley31]

priscilla knew all to well about the other woman..how could any woman not?

I don't know if it's true but I read they were living separate lives as early as 1970. The divorce was just a formality for a marriage that ended years before. He had girlfriends, she had boyfriends. I think Elvis was shocked that anyone would actually leave him...not that the marriage was over (hope that makes sense).

who said Elvis was shocked about the separationhttp://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f137/bellaselena/icon_sad.gif no..:whistlingtheres nothing left to do but go our seperate ways..blah blah blah .. ...u know how the rest of the song goes http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e160/selenauno/smiley-gen101.gifhttp://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f137/bellaselena/th_elvis-071.gif

[Lisarose]

I'm thinking that he wasn't shocked that they separated, but that she actually would leave - not just sit around and put up with it all. And perhaps that she would leave him for someone else. And, IMO, he was very hurt that LisaMarie wouldn't be around Graceland.

[hounddog]

i think Elvis was stunned that Priscilla left, after all how many people said no to Elvis. I also think the biggest hurt was him not seeing Lisa as much. I know some will say he was on the road etc. But it is vaslty differant to being able to come home and see his little girl than to have to fly elsewhere to see her.

[monk37]

I don't think he was shocked, I think it was more an ego blow - the public humiliation

of her leaving the one man every woman wanted....

He probably would have been content to continue as they were

What man wouldn't feel that way, tho?:lmfao:

[debtdbruno]

Cilla did know about other women as we've heard her say. She challenged him several times and he denied it.
I wouls assume they didn't spend a great deal of time together any way, he was on the road, she in LA. Also wives/girlfriends were only allowed to opening and closing nights.

I'm not sure that lot of men would really be happy leading separate lives from the person that's supposed to be their spouse

Part of the problem for Elvis - and any really wealthy or famous person - is how does your spouse be a partner to you?

what can they bring to the table to compare?

What are you talking about

huh

What are you talking about


as Eddie Murphy said when talking about Johnny Carson's divorce

He's rich and famous - it's not like she has to have a job - Hey honey, I made $1000 this week, because I want to do my part.


I'm talking about marriage is a partnership of 2 people - but when one person has all the money - what does the other one bring to the marriage?

Priscilla didn't have to clean the house, she wasn't a career helper - she didn't have to host parties to help Elvis advance in the corporate world

She didn't have a clear roll to play in his life as an equal - she was window dressing - and that's going to wear on a person after a while

Elvis didn't marry her for those things and if Priscilla did have to do those things it wouldn't of saved the marriage

The marriage failed simply because Elvis was on the road cheating on her all the time if he was faithful and spent a little more time with her they would've stayed married it's that simple.

Priscilla may have just been window dressing but that's what she was going into the marriage and that's what she still is in a way.

Agree. I was reading a book the other day about Charles & Diana. Made me think the same thing. The wife doesn't have the 'normal' daily routines of us mere mortals ;) They don't have to get up early to get breakfast, dress the kids, walk the dog, make the lunches, kids to school and then in their lunch break go food shopping! It's a completely different life. Like on EBTP, Prissy said she enjoyed doing Elvis's laundry, making him breakfast. This seems to be her favourite part of the marriage, the early months when she had him to herself. But like's been said before, she can't have thought it would be like this forever! He had films to make, shows to do. It's a different life completely. IMO must have she thought things would change once they were married. (n)

Agree Brain(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)

[Sweet_One_E.]

but the marriage started to fail before he was on the road again and cheating. It's said he told someone in oct 69 the marriage was bad. Wow, so early. so what really went wrong? maybe since it did, the cheating on both their parts was a symptom of something else??

[Unchained Melody]

I think Elvis was shocked that she had the nerve to walk out on him.

He didn't need to tour to cheat...........what about all the movie years????

[Sweet_One_E.]

I was talking about after marriage. he was in Vegas oct. 69 and when asked why so skinny, he said a bad marriage can do that. can't remember the whole thing I read. so I think they were in trouble very soon after Lisa was born. maybe one grew up and one did not. mother's have to grow up, husbands not so much. I just see both their cheatings, symptoms of bigger problems

[debtdbruno]

I read somwhere he rehearsed himself to death before Vegas 69.........that's why he lost so much weight.

It depends on what you believe, he supposedly didn't want to marry her at all.
Cilla says it was after LM was born....she grew up, had a child to look after, Elvis continued in the life he always had.

The truth of it is, there was no way Elvis was going to be faithful, ever!!!!!!
He had far too many women handing it to him on a platter..........how many Men are going to say 'no'??

Elvis would sometimes tell other women that he was unhappy in his marriage so they would date him.

According to Joyce Bova she was reluctant to date him because he was married but Elvis told her he was in an unhappy marriage.

I don't think he was serious about the things he told Joyce and others about his marriage.

Kathy Westmoreland says Elvis told her that he and Priscilla gave each other permission to see other people.
I don't believe that but he probably told Kathy that so she'd put out
Elvis said a lot of things.

[Sweet_One_E.]

I doubt he would be faithful either. they knew each other for years and get married, and soon it becomes hard to be married and they step out. that to me is not even trying to make it work. they had a child, so they both should have grown up more and tried harder. and neither should have been shocked that it did not work the way they were going at it.

[epmoodyblue]

Yup- just a little male insight goes a long way in trying to understand some of Elvis's more mysterious decisions.

[Donut]

I don't think it was just a matter of having it that easy and feeling tempted, he had some "steady" romantic relationships while he was married.

[debtdbruno]

That he did Donut................but don't forget, he didn't always 'indulge'.......he just read to them.............LOL

[Donut]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the reading club :lol:

[GIORGIA]

In the Elvis By The Presley,priscilla say that,but say also that this phrase was a misunderstand.

The only girl that for a while he be faithful was Dixie:D.
And own because they knew each other,why they married?
Of course for love,but unfortunatelly the probability that did work was so little.
And why Elvis was shocked?Well of course we talk about a divorce,and for everyone it's a bad thing,then in his mind the divorce is not exict,June Juanico one time said that when she tells at Elvis that his parents was divorced he stay a shock:supriced:.

[Erhan]

Elvis did not shocked about the separation He shocked about way of separation She had no chose when they catch her sex affair with Mike Stone.
That's effect Elvis very deeply because of his big man ego.

PS: Pricilla already knew Elvis life when she married...

[debtdbruno]

In the Elvis By The Presley,priscilla say that,but say also that this phrase was a misunderstand.




Cilla said she understood his need to spread his wings and strut his stuff like a peacock...........But he took her literally at her word, thinking she was giving her concent to other women......

Did Elvis know about Priscilla's affairs? I know some of the guys did but I'm not sure if he knew about them :hmm:

[Teddy]

It depends on your sources.
Some say he knew and elected to turn a blind eye.
Arguably, he was more hurt by other people finding out than discovering it himself, since that did the greater damage to his pride.

[Sweet_One_E.]

Elvis being Elvis, I'd say yes.

[Donut]

I think I read some of the MM suggested to Elvis they could follow her and find out if she was cheating on him and Sonny caught her by chance but didn't told Elvis so I don't know if he knew for sure.
I don't think Elvis was shocked when Priscilla left and it's no wonder she decided to go either since she knew everybody was aware of her story with Mike Stone.

[debtdbruno]

Didn't the MM know of her affair with her dance tutor?

Also, didn't one of the MM find Mike Stone in a house with her (maybe LA home)?

[Donut]

Yes, it was Sonny who found her with Mike Stone.

[debtdbruno]

OK thanks Donut.........couldn't remember which book it was in!!!!!

So maybe they werwe protecting Elvis from being hurt? Or, Elvis knew, and chose to ignore it, then he could go on taking care of business himself............LMAO

[GIORGIA]

For Me Elvis knew about Mike Stone,I see in Elvis and Me that Elvis told her about Mike Stone,but I don't know for sure if is true or false.

[Donut]

I think if he knew he felt relieved, from that moment on he could "read" to those girls without feeling guilty any more :lol:. Maybe he even knew about the dance instructor and that happened very early on in the marriage.

Yes, that's right..'read'......:lmfao::lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:

TCB'ing..........

[Junebug]

The 'dance instructor' happened in the spring of '69 sometime after Lisa was born.


Everybody had a 'story' on everybody else.

Everybody was aware the MM were cheating on their wives or girlfriends.


And it has been said "Elvis had a revolving door............."



:king:

The affair with the dance instructor allegedly happened around June 1968
