Oh seriously! It breaks my freaking heart!

I was listening to a bootleg the other day of "Without You" from 2013 and Stevie was intro'ing it with this beautiful story of how much she loved Lindsey and he was saying the same and it was so freaking sweet and wonderful.

Listen to how she talks him up in this video below and how he responds. Lindsey says at 6:15 "There are a few more chapters left in the book of Fleetwood Mac and I love you, Stevie. I love you." Stevie: "I love you." Where did that love go??

Stevie and Lindsey, in the clip below about 4:25, talk about becoming "the new George and Gracie" and Stevie says, "When the music is gone, we can do comedy." Lindsey talks about insisting she be in the band before he joined and says "That's love."

It's so wrong, things ending this way after all these years!

I think their relationship was actually good in that time. But it soured later on, probably exacerbated by the OWTS tour coming right after. They shouldn't have done back to back tours like that, they needed a break from each other but because of Christine returning they did it anyways.
And then Stevie continuously refusing to record, thus the BuckVie album etc etc.

It is just so sad, it makes my heart ache when I think about it.

Although there are clearly also other factors at play (like Tom Petty's untimely demise last year and the effect of that on Stevie's perspective), I think you have something here.

Although SnL are two adults and can't blame Christine's presence if they're not getting along with each other, she is senior to them in the band (now in a very literal sense ) and her return would have upturned whatever delicate balance and narrative they had going on as the Buckingham and Nicks Show, and possibly resulted in a regression of mindsets, dynamics and behavior to what they were in the 70s~80s years.

A fake relationship gone $our.

Came across this quote:

"Lindsey is probably the man who loved me the most in my life. So when I die I will remember that: that of all the men in my life Lindsey, absolutely, bar none, was the man who loved me the most." - Stevie, Q Magazine, 2008

I really hope Stevie turns it around or, on that deathbed, I fear she will be filled with regret....

It is likely that Stevie still loves Lindsey and realizes how much he has loved her. Despite that, if Lindsey backed out of a contractual obligation to tour for the next year (Lindsey has not denied this), then the band was within its rights to let him go and find replacements. There aren't many jobs where a person can refuse to show up at work for a year and not be fired. If you have a job like that, count your lucky stars.

Even if everything you said is true, honestly... the "bosses" had a choice here; they did not HAVE to fire him. They chose money over a 50 year relationship. To me, that is very, very sad and wrong.

Stevie needs an abacus to count hers

If by "loved the most" she mean "boinked the most", than "correct". I honestly don't think that woman has truly loved anyone but her own reflection. Ever. People who are great at writing about love seldom experienced or had much luck with it.

Like the monignior at my church growing up once said in a sermon "love is NOT a pulsating pen......" You get the picture.

Ouch! I don't believe that! She surely loved Lindsey, who was there for her before she was a famous rock star. He knew the "real Stevie." (Now there's one less person around her who doesn't just see her as a rock star.) However, it is possible that she has never been able to surrender her heart entirely to anyone. Perhaps she always holds something back. Thus, "the story ended tragically."

$he will regret what $he has done. And her comments about being happy, the pre B/N setlist, and possibly recording with this new line-up tell me that $he'$ already trying to ju$tify her action$ in her head.
