    Hi Jen

    yes I know I made the observation once before I just thought it was kinda strange for her whole entire family to call her Danielle her whole entire life and then when she starts modeling it's Riley, I think Danielle is a better name personally but she can go by whatever she wants it's just that Danielle seems exclusively a girls name to me and Riley isn't because I've known men named Riley.

    I think the name riley can go both ways. I have friends called riley, but if that what Lisa's daughter likes being called thats her choice.

    Danielle just prefers to go by her middle name.

    From what I understand, Lisa and Danny have always called their daughter Riley. Lisa has on ocassion referred to her as Danniell in interviews, but if I recall correctly she only did that prior to Riley becoming a model.

    Lots of men of that generation had certain attitudes about women. And many were double standards yes. If you don't like it, you don't marry a person who has them, and you sure as heck don't make them think you are going to be ok with it.

    You are so right! Priscilla already knew Elvis before she married him. I hate it when people marry someone and leave that person again!!! Especially when itīs Elvis. Elvis deserved someone better. Someone who really loves him.

    But if a man must bring double standards into his marriage, he shouldn't be too shocked when his wife leaves him, either.
    And Priscilla never gave him the impression that she was "ok with" his compulsive womanizing.
    This idea that there was 'one rule for Elvis and another for every other married man' is a fallacy and the outcome of his marriage proves that conclusively. You reap what you sow in any relationship. Even when you're Elvis Presley.

    I can understand the temptation for Elvis fans to focus on Cilla's marital failings but we can't do so at the exclusion of his shortcomings, or we sacrifice common sense and fairness.

    Also, I would never say that his behavior justifies hers but it certainly explains it (and I still think the blame must lie with both of them).

    I can't disagree with some of what you stated Teddy. But you must remember one thing: Elvis was faithfull to her in marriage untill she was not. Once married he honored his promise. He never promised fedelity prior to the marriage. Was that unfair to her, probably, was it hurtful, no doubt. But there were no strings and she could have and prob. should have left.
    The marriage brought the promise of faithfullness. Elvis was big on keeping spoken promises and written ones himself. That in some ways worked against him at times in his career.
    Would he have remained faithful if she had? One can only speculate on that one.
    I am in no way advocating double standards. I do however accept the fact that sometimes it is hard to change attitudes that we have so ingrained in us. I guess I just would have never married someone like Elvis knowing full well that the odds of eternal faithfullness, would be a crap shoot with really bad odds. And her cheating put those odds at zero. Was it ok for him to cheat because she did, nope. It makes it understandable but never ok. Each person is accountable for their own actions.
    I think they both had high hopes for the marriage in the beginning. But in some ways those hopes were very naive. But more so on her part.
    It is she who says Elvis was faithful untill she wasn't. So for me, she blew it because we don't know what he would have done had she not.
    She had to know that if he made the promise to mend his ways and be faithfull and she couldn't be, the marriage was done for. I just don't get that part. If she loved him, why not at least give him a chance?

    I agree with a lot of your post but this line is something of a paradox, since marrying someone implies that you intend to be completely faithful.
    Why put all the responsibility for misunderstanding on Priscilla?
    Perhaps he shouldn't have entered wedlock if he couldn't take it seriously.

    And despite the lack of hard evidence that he slept with another woman while married, I'm inclined to think that there are many ways in which someone can be unfaithful besides being caught with your pants down.
    He was saintly in many ways, but this wasn't one of them.

    No, I'm not saying he was faithful for the duration?? I believe he was at first untill she broke the vows. Don't you think that really ended any hope they had for making it work? That's all I'm saying.
    I do think they both intended (although it may have been a bit naive) to be faithful. I think they were in love when they got married. I think they just decided to forget the past and start new, and no doubt had hopes like any couple first starting a marriage.
    Now I just personally think, giving it a year and then cheating on him didn't give it much of a chance. Matter of fact, I think that pretty much was like putting a major hole in the boat.
    What they were thinking after, who know because they were both sleeping with each other and others too. That just blows me away!

    You're right- of course Cilla's bare-faced infidelity pretty much guaranteed that there was no future for the marriage, but if Elvis was truly faithful during the period between their wedding and her affairs then that would be the first time in their entire relationship (and it would require an extraordinary act of faith on my part to believe it! ) I think he probably just made more of an effort to keep the misbehavior quiet.

    From most accounts they didn't seem to do a lot of sleeping together anyway and that would contribute to the straying too, I guess.
    There are more ways to be a good husband than just being seen to resist other women.
    Again- I don't think either of them are blameless. I just want a fair trial for them both.

    I have to say both...Elvis knew he was doing wrong,and felt bad about it,but felt he couldn't resist temptation,and then felt confused.....Cilla had faults as well....I think Elvis knew that Cilla wasn't happy,and he wanted to fix that,but in the end,I think Elvis knew in the back of his mind that the unthinkable was going to happen...That Cilla would give up and leave...
    I know they loved each other alot,and I also know that Elvis felt bad about it,and wanted Priscilla back....
    But anyway,I believe that both of them are too fault...
