Chili, Yes it has and is working for alot of people, and maybe seeing them making it work is pretty painful, but like I said, I think she feel she can't eat those words now.

Stevie and Lindsey are both well-known for their stubborness, hard-headedness, and overall inability to compromise on certain things.
Sometimes that's been an asset for them, sometimes a liability.
I just think that that's her story and she's gonna stick to it because she can't change it now anyway.

I was listening to this Eagles song "Victim of Love" which I think is about Stevie (and Lindsey, he's "that man"). I'm sure someone will tell me if they know it is not, but the part in it I love is

Victim of love, I see a broken heart
You got your stories to tell
Victim of love, It's such and easy part
And you know how to play it so well

Later on, he says

Victim of love, I see a broken heart
I could be wrong but I'm not
You're walking a wire of pain and desire
Looking for love in between

It sounds like 70's Stevie to me!
There's some other stuff in this song that I won't get into here, but even though I'm not a huge fan of Don, I have to give him credit for knowing the score.

I don't know that I would call her purely cynical and immature, but I do find it ironic that she has become a bit of a tragic and sad figure, just like she sang about when she was young and didn't have to end up this way.

Now, I'm not saying she has some terrible life, because she doesn't, but I think there is a part of her that s just incredibly broken about ending up alone. Now she feels she has to save face and talk about how wonderful everything is. I can hear little things in her comments that lead me to think she isn't particularly content with herself, that's all.

Oh, and Sorceress, I get that same "unfinshed business" vibe from them both as well.
