I just read about this on the Daily Mail website.
One part of the report said "He didn't want to be controlled".
From my own bitter experience I have learned that there is a significant percentage of women who become controlling in relationships.
Not all women of course.
I support Rick 100% in leaving his wife. Yes it's a shame for the kids but men have to stand up for them selves and end it.
We are all familiar with the phrase "nagging wife", I think the nagging and controlling are closely related.
We don't have the phrase "nagging husband".
Rick will be slated in the press for this. But what people have to realise is there are two sides to the story.
🙁

If he does not want to listen the next heart problem he has will be it, game over. |

Exactly if what Francis has been saying is correct and that Rick was drinking like mad before the 2nd Heart Attack. Then it's not suprising that Rick was having marital problems if Lyndsay was trying to get him to listen. As well as looking after her elderly mother and 8 year old twins it won't have been easy. Rick is his own worst enemy sometimes when you are an only child this happens. I speak from experience as I am one and ill admit to have been spolit as a child so it made me a bit self centred at times. It's something I have tried to work out of my system and I am better than I used to be. It took me a long while to grow up and realise I can't always do exactly what I want. |

I think 'control' is what this is about. It was the one area of power he had left. And now he's used it to feel in control of something. I feel so sorry for his wife being left with 2 young children and an elderly mother, and with her own health issues. And I even feel sorry for Rick that the only thing he feels he can do is throw his toys out of the pram to end their marriage.

I'd feel more sorry for them all, if they stayed stuck in a Marriage that wasn't working for the sake of the kids and health issues, yes it's sad when a marriage splits up, though it's better to be apart for the right reasons, than stay with someone for the wrong reasons.!! Anyway I'm not going to judge him on a bull shit gutter press article in the Sun based on ''a friend said''..!! Rock on Rick Parfitt.!! |

Rick has stated many many times in interviews and books that he 'struggles with marriage' and 'always screws it up', consequently it should come as no surprise.

I'm going to avoid responding to some of the comments in the OP, but with regard to the subject of Rick not wanting to be controlled, the lyrics of his song "Reality Cheque" on QPQ come to mind.
Yes its just a song and not worth reading into too much analysis, but the tone of the lyrics are uncomfortably reminiscent of his real life behaviour.
If this song had been written to different lyrics I might have a liked it a lot more because it otherwise grooves along quite nicely.

Hi All, At the end of the day it's between Rick and his wife, what ever we discuss on here will not make one iota of difference. I am certain that if it is just pressure getting to him of recent events it is more likely most men don't like hearing the truth, jacking it all in seems the only answer. You have to work at marriage something I wish I knew in my earlier years to my cost.
Like I have commented about Quo's music you take the rough with the smooth. I am sure Rick will fathom out what is wrong and will fix the problem in his own time when he has calmed down, let's not forget he is in a vulnerable position at the moment and his emotions must be all over the place as to him it must seem like his life is over. Not playing as part of Quo the one constant throughout his life has just been taken away and I defy anybody not to have troubles of the mind when that happens.
Lets just all wish him well and give him a positive feeling from his fans.... 
Geoff. |

Only two people really know what goes on in a marriage, and it's never always one person's fault.
It's amazing how many showbiz marriages go west when the money dries up, although that's not to say that's what's happened here.
Besides which it's nobody business but there's.
