Actually I did.................. had I been involved with Elvis.... Probably not!
I loved him for him..not a sexual thing... The man was incredible. His being, just standing in a room, he lit everything up.. people around him in photo's you've all seen... disapear from view right before your eyes.. one of a kind..
Blessed for sure, loving him without sex, was a lot better ideal; I never lost him that way...for those of you who can't follow what I just said, Elvis was all man! But even a man needs pure love...sex is not in fact pure love.
Genie, of course Elvis could talk to Cilla about stuff, but he could also talk to Anita, Margit Buergin, Elizabeth Stafaniac (just friend), Janie Wilbanks, Vera Tschechowa, while in Germany. It's said Elvis could always talk well with women, he found comfort in doing that, especially after he lost his mom. But While Cilla would like you to think it was just her he was confiding in, getting comfort from, it is not so!
Wow does that sound like Cilla was the apple of his eye in Germany? It's funny because she talks about how she bought him those Bongo Drums, but never what he bought her. Yeh, she was just so special to him. Right. Of course Elvis thought she was darn cute and so sweet and innocent, but some actually thought that he would marry Anita and have children when he got back eventually.
Anita was a much stronger and stable person. She may have been the best thing for Elvis. Too bad he didn't know that. Gladys liked her a lot.

There were many in my time that married young as well.
That's what many girls looked forward to. A home, husband and babies.
It might be better for the family unit if men and women looked forward to that more today.
I'm all for education; as I pushed my daughter and sons toward that goal.
But, there seems to be something missing in the families today.
I DO understand your ideals of "pure love." That does indeed seem to last longer and fulfills a need nothing else can. As in "loving someone just for themselves." I don't think Elvis ever had that after his mother passed.![]()

Against all odds here ---I'd have to agree with you ,Tommy.
IMO; Elvis wanted her to be like his mother --Priscilla out-grew that . Since Elvis couldn't or wouldn't create a home life she wanted {needed} she moved on with out him. It was sad for all concerned.
IMO, Priscilla was hurt just as much as Elvis.
"I have learned never to ridicule any man's opinion, however strange it may seem."
I guess we here see being in love and having a romantic relationship in a different way. The thing is I canīt see anything of that in their story in neither of them. Elvis never stoped seeing other women from day one till she left, never changed his ways to get her back, didnīt want her around when he was working, brought Linda to Graceland in a few months, Priscilla left Elvis for another man, wasnīt there when he needed real help, didnīt like his hobbies, and didnīt want to remain married to him.
I wasnīt there but itīs not difficult to see they didnīt love each other, didnīt accept each others character and to me thatīs not loving someone as a couple. I donīt say they didnīt care for each other but not so much or in that way.

I still firmly beleive Elvis didnt really want to get married....think he was pressured into it by Colonel Parker, Priscilla's father....and it was doomed from the beginning...just don't think Elvis was ever in love with her....
