I never bought her act of still being such great friends with her ex's. Maybe now, because it's been so many years, but I think she tried to cling on to having the "friendship" back then to save face and try and make herself really believe it didn't hurt. She was not always the one doing the cheating, she was often cheated on by her lovers, including married men who then dropped her after they had fun with their little fantasy and then went back to their wives and kids. She'd have to be dead inside for none of that to never have hurt her. And she was not always the one doing the dumping, she was often the one being dumped. She can act like it's so magical, a fairy tale, and was all worth it, but she is the one maybe who shouldn't throw stones. Acting like cheating and affairs and dating married men is all good and fine, and doesn't hurt any0ne, and that everyone does it. Let her steal your husband away and see how much you are still thinking it's just dandy. I love her music and I love her as a celebrity, but I never have enjoyed hearing about all her love issues, from sleeping with married men to pregnancy issues, and so forth. It all just wreaks of saddness to me.

Great post - and I agree.
When it comes to relationships, Stevie is the *last* person on Earth who should be dispensing advice. Her longest steady relationship was, what, 6-7 years at the earliest part of her adult life? Rife with drugs and affairs? And afterwards, has she managed to *really* be with anyone for a signifigant period of time, in a functional, stable,
selfless, faithful partnership?
No.
I love the woman to death, really, I do - her music - her lyrics - her artistry has been one of the cornerstones of my life. I am who I am in large part because of the way her songs have helped shape me and helped shape my view of the world. But let's be honest - she knows nothing about true, selfless, sacrificing love other than what she's seen romanticized in movies or read in books. Stevie has never put anything first in her life other than Stevie.
Relationship-wise, Stevie is still a kid - a selfish teenager at worst and a spoiled princess with no real-world experience at best. Her perspective on what a faithful, loving, honest, selfless partnership means is about the same as mine was when I was 19.
