Whew... Charles and Di would be a lengthy thread all on their own.... but I tend to lean more toward he needed a suitable vessel for heirs, she was enamoured by his position..... nothing to do with love or attraction.....

I love your comment regarding the narcissism of College mentality crashing into reality..... that is priceless!

Re: "...collegiate narcissism"

Believe it or not, kids, (if there are any juniors surfing here)reality is a lot more complicated than the adolescent and collegiate safari of beer parties, back-seat romps, and the subsequent pursuit of materialist paradise through nabobbing, yuppy naivete, upwardly-mobile suburban utopianism and conspicuously Bobo vulgarity. Adult life in contemporary post-Christian America is complicated and a challenge. One needs to have some mature and realistic grasp of this going into married family life.

In fairness, I think it has to be kept in perspective that people develop other interests and different aspects of their personalities as they age.

Re: Diana and Charles of Wales

A sad case. Without being too flip about this, I think that conjugal infidelity is not necessarily an automatic reason to divorce. The parents of a very good friend of mine "separated" when we were in prep school. It hit my friend pretty hard (16 at the time). The wife - rather attractive with voluptuously large & inviting breasts - had had a hysterectomy about two years before the marital split. The husband (a prominent east coast attorney) decided he wanted to be a swinger (he was 39). And SWING and SCHWING he did. With a number of gymnastically nubile female partners. For about ten years or so until he came down with cancer. The wife(and this is the amazing part) took him back and he spent the last year of his life in her care.
