He has said in the past that while they were together on the road for WH they both were monogamous and clearly he felt that it was a relationship cocooned in that tour. Once the tour ended he went back to his life off the road. But Stevie was gaga about him and wanted to continue it as a deep romance. He clearly wasn't above hooking up with her off and on after that but in between hook ups he wasn't thinking about her and pining for her-- like she was for him. And she herself has said in more recent years that she became "needy" about it all..... clingy. And that made it worse and to me anyway it sounds like he did that thing of thinking "this chick just doesn't get it. Maybe if I treat her even sh&ttier she'll finally just let it go". Coz he really did treat her crappy IMO. And she kept taking it and thinking she could make it better. Maybe drugs made him be even more of a jerk about it, but it seems like a clear case of "he's just not that into you anymore" and she was all in a romantic haze about it. And maybe drugs made her unable to see it for what it was.

She said in a recent quote that she's been with plenty of nice guys who were happy for her success and not bothered by it and not bothered by the fact that she had to go away on tour and all that but she was always more interested in the big, drama relationships. So Joe fit that bill.

I'm still not going to judge him for that answer when he clearly didn't want to be answering it in the first place. His discomfort is obvious, at least I thought when I watched it.

Do you have sources for all of the info above? I'd like to read them because I've never heard any of that before. I'm much more interested in Stevie and Joe's relationship than I am with her relationships with Mick or Lindsey after all these years.
