Stevie's Relationship With Mick Makes Me Mad

Not the fact that they were "in love" but the fact that Stevie ended it because she felt this love affair would kill the band. I think this is a Stevie cop-out. She always seemed to be avoiding love affairs and "family" because of her "career" in Fleetwood Mac and that's a load of crap. The reason Stevie had no lasting relationships and babies is because she was ON DRUGS. I hate her denial of this. I really do.

I don't understand why people would get worked up over this. The reasons Stevie didn't have lasting relationships are for her to know; private, personal matters. Besides, I'm glad she didn't end up with Twatwood.

Um...what?

I don't think it's just drugs. I think it runs deeper than that. People often become drug abusers because they feel it's a solution to a problem that already exists.

Who really knows why Stevie broke up with Mick. Maybe it was just that she liked him better as a friend but didn't want to tell him that, so she made it seem as if she was making this sacrifice for the band. Maybe it was because of the reason she states. Who knows? It was so long ago and they've both obviously moved past that and onto a great friendship.

I'm glad that you claim to know why she ended her relationships, but I do not..and don't think she would have any reason to lie. She has been quite honest about her drug use in the past...

Plenty of people have perfectly fine relationships on drugs, so I dont think it's ok to assume that is necessarily the reason the relationships ended...and really...who cares?

This thread is about Stevie saying she could not have a marriage and kids because it would hurt Fleetwood Mac. I say had she not been wrecked on drugs, she and Mick MAY have made it. She MAY have had Fleetwood Feet running around. Who cares?? I dunno!! I thought this was a DISCUSSION BOARD!

Maybe I am mistaken!!

Have you ever thought about that maybe it was too hard for her to hide all the time, because it seems like you forget that Mick was still married and had two little children! Maybe that coud've been the reason!

Also, she said she did it because of Lindsey, because if he found out, *then* the band would be over.

But if anything, had the band not been there in the first place, both Lindsey and Stevie said they would have probably been together much longer than they were. I don't think any relationship lasts when you are in a situation like they were in.

So I don't get why you say it makes you mad. I think it's perfectly understandable. It was doomed to fail, so for the sake of the band, quit it while you can.

This relationship bugged me for awhile but not for the same reasons...mick being married was part of it....the fact that it was under lb's nose and all that, but as I learned more about FM it seems that they all kinda had relationships under each others noses. It was just part of living in the bubble that is\was FM. CM did that to john...SN was with some of Lb's associates and Mick....Lb seems to always have his girlfriends around under SN's nose. So that seems to be part of the culture they had going on. Sure, they were both messed up on cocaine, but I dont think that points to reason for the break up.
What gets me, and seems to not effect anyone else, ( as i have brought it up many times ) is that Mick went after Stevie's best friend and she ended up marrying the guy! Then he spills the beans about the whole thing in his book.
First of all, Sara broke a cardinal girlfriend rule...NEVER date or sleep with ur friends men past or present. ( at least thats a rule in my world)

Then Mick's kiss and tell.

As far as the reasons she broke up with him...who knows

I think since Mick went and told she had to come up with something to say and the "career thing" or "for my band", has alway been her rote answer regarding marriage and children.
In this case though I wonder if the reference to the band breaking up is "code" for LB would get pissed and leave the band

Personally I think Stevie has commitment issues and she used her career as an excuse, and thats cool with me. I mean there is no law that a women HAS to marry and have kids. Not that SN and Mick would ever have progressed to getting married..( okay yikes..shakes image from my mind

)
Though I think it is a regret for her not having children, I don't know that it is her her biggest regret. We all have regrets she is no diffrent. She made a choice and she gotta live with that, just like the rest of us.
It doesnt mean she moaning for children now, I think she is fine with her choice. Still...she would have been awesome as a mom its kinda sad, to me.

I have also wondered....how the heck Sara "fleetwood" could do that to her, and Mick who was suppose to love her? And if MF's book has any truth to it..if I remember it right...wasn't he with Sara behind Stevie's back? Or was Mick and Stevie done at this time?

ur welcome,
Thats how I remember it too...Mick and Sara were together prior to the break off of SN and Micks relationship...if that is the case we might have the reason for the break up right there.

Reminds me of the line in EFO:

"Well you always know when something's wrong with MY friend."

I have always felt that line was about Sara and Mick.

Could be ... something to ponder

The liner notes indicate that line is:

Well you always know when something's wrong,
My friend

I did not know if the use of "with" was where paperflowers was getting the Mick idea from. Personally, I think it could be about Mick, but who knows. Also, why did she refer to it as "Monica" in the DR doc. Who knows with her
