It sounds like he had a bad taste in women. His first wife cheated on him with a house painter. His third wife, when he got back together with him, moved her boyfriend in and tried to steal the house. But he’s supposed to be personally easygoing.
Being a musician and on the road all the time does not make for a stable love life.
I hope one of them wasn’t named Myrna Vacks.

Boy talk about an exclusive club
And he dumped a local CBS reporter, Dana Tyler, who he had been dating for 9 years, in order to get back with the third wife before she dumped him. Tyler was so broken up about it she had to take 9 months off from work.
Phil was a bit of a prick- according to his first wife she never cheated with a painter yet said Collins was so mean she left him in England and moved back to Canada where she was from.
Evidently she never toured with Genesis but was really looking forward to going to Japan with them in the latter 70’s. Phil got pissed off at something and made her watch as he called the tour manager to inform him the wife would not be accompanying them to Japan.
