I don't think there was any serious bad blood between the two of them.
some of Lindsey's remarks about Christine about the time SYW came out I thought were less than gracious. If he was quoted correctly there was something about her songs not being "emotionally incisive" and not working too well live. He did mention testosterone more than was strictly necessary and that he had more freedom now which could imply that Christine was somehow holding him back. I don't think she ever held him back but she was the only member of the band who could and did stand up to him musically. I think they made a good team- he probably pushed her further than she wanted to go and she probably smoothed off some of his edges.
Mind you some of the things Ms McVie said were not particularly polite either - "maybe a tad too much guitar" "what I was hearing was Buckingham Nicks and not Fleetwood Mac" she also mentioned about not liking guitar solos. I don't think she actually said they make her sick, I can't think of the exact words but it was something like when she hears a guitar solo she's "out the door"
I doubt if they keep in touch much but their lives now are so very different. He's still a full time musician and she is pretty much retired.
