I've been lurking here...
I personally think while Michael and Lisa may have been a "good match", they had a lot of problems (that I feel go deeper than any of us really know about) and weren't eachother's "ONE" or however you want to say it. I think their relationship was more of a teaching/learning/growing tool - like many relationships are...but not meant for the longterm sense. I don't think they ever could have had a genuinely fulfilling, healthy relationship. I do think they loved eachother very much - couldn't fully step away from eachother - always had heartstrings there...because they had more lessons to learn and more growing to do.
I've gone through this myself, and seen others go through it too. I was in a "dysfunctional" relationship that I couldn't step away from. It felt like we were such a good match but it never quite worked. We would break up for long periods of time, but still always have each other in the back of our minds... we kept coming back together...could never really say goodbye... It was a long drawn out thing, with lots of love yet lots of heartache. The deep "attachment" we had didn't neccesarily mean we were right for each other. It wasn't until we finally separated ways for good, that I could see how every time we came back together/interacted...I learned something...and walked away stronger. It only
really ended when the learning was done.
I think Michael and Lisa had the same thing going. Sadly, Michael died so Lisa will probably carry around a feeling of "unfinished business" atop of regret and guilt for awhile...possibly until she meets him on the other side. So often the story of life, I'm afraid.

a woman marrying a man who makes it no secret that he wants to have a family---and decides she doesn't want to have his children, how do you think that makes a man feel?
Yeah...sounds like a classic "bait and switch", which is so NOT COOL. But, you gotta take into account to that people often think they want something, then realize later they don't want it...or that maybe they can't handle it. Situations change...people change. Still sad the way it happened.

I saw her with that snake Diane Sawyer who was making fun of her for being with Michael. I SO dislike Diane Sawyer. I thought Lisa Marie could have been more supportive of Michael in this interview. Yeah, she sort of defends him, but not really.
I would have said, "Yeah, Diane, I found him attractive, find him attractive, what of it? Why do you NOT find him attractive, Diane? What's wrong with YOU?"
Damn straight! I felt the SAME way after seeing that interview, I woulda said the SAME thing. I wanted to smack Lisa...lol. I thought she was a strong woman, but it was almost like she was caving under Diane's projection of Michael...as if she should be embarrassed for liking him or thinking he's hot. Who cares what other people think, who cares how many times she's been asked... lay down the line on Diane's ass! Michael was a motherf*ckin' SEXY man with the
biggest heart out there - anyone else who thinks he was some kinda "freak" needs to put into their place... especially by those who "loved" him.

Completely DISAGREE. Those are two very different things. You CAN have one without the other.
