Where do you come up with this stuff at? They did NOT have an open marriage. He might never have stopped seeing others, but she sure in the hell wasn't until after the marriage fell apart. He knew where she was at, at all times. Don't be silly.

When he parked her in Spain he did not have a spy camera watching her ever move. There have been rumors for years about her and that Juquain dancer guy.

And when he parked her in Spain, the marriage was over.

One of the reasons he parked her in Spain, is so she wouldn't find out all the running around and the things he was doing. Just like when he sent M2 back to Toronto.

I'm not obsessed with her, but the haters obviously are. And I know these Videos and they're bullcrap.

—Actually they are not bullcrap. They put her lies right out on front street. If you are goi g to spill Prince’s business in the street to get a few dollars well she can have her business out in the street as well. [Edited 12/17/17 18:55pm]

Who isn't spilling Prince's business in the streets to make $$ off of him? I mean seriously it seems like every associate that he's ever had is trying to get the $$.

—Because she knew he was a cheater when they were dating and she went along with it so what is she going to say now without looking like a bigger fool then she was for putting up with it in the first place. I honestly do not know what planet some of you live on. You are not obsessed with someone when you plan on cheating on them from the jump.

I’m thinking people mean he was obsessed with “having” her not obsessed “with her” That is how his obsession seem to look from the outside it was all about the getting and having and acquiring. And far less the obsessive love ‘I need to be with you every second night and day or I’ll die’ type of thing. He was a woman hoarder.

Yes, that's a good description. Woman hoarder.

Well he does say Mayte doesnt not belong to him...what does that imply? Maybe he was tried of being possessive and exhausted and wanted someone to take care of him and kick his ass and keep him in line.. Maybe he didn't know how to take care of his wife because he didn't know how to take care of his himself and was making excuses for ending a marriage that seemed to painful to maintain. Did she not admit that she was not always there for him? I really wish we could have heard his side of the story in a way that wasn't cryptic and lacking specifics. Prince seemed like a man torn down the middle at times (but too stubborn to admit it)...thus the gemini personality contrasts.

Do you folks think it was as simple as woman hoarding where Mayte was concerned? Woman hoarding is easy for a rock star -- just get a groupie or gold digger. It took waiting to have sex and dealing with her gold-digging mother to be with Mayte and writing songs that made excuses for her youth. I think its funny that Prince is only rock star to date a barely legal woman and then try to make the world not mad at him by writing songs with lyrics "is age more than a number when it comes to love". the Rolling Stones didn't give a shit about dating teenagers...LOL.

Clearly? First of all, an open relationship means that both parties agree that it is acceptable to see people outside of their marriage. Secondly, did you miss the 2 or 3 interviews he did in 1999 where he said he was very possessive of his wife and didn’t like men to touch his wife? In one of the interviews he even threatened violence on a man touching her with inappropriate thoughts. What about that says, yes, we can have an open marriage? [Edited 12/17/17 15:45pm]

And to add that crazy interview he did on the view with Lisa Ling And Star Jones where he goes on about that m1 does not belong to him And that marriages are contracts and you don’t need that to be connected. When you watch him saying it, you can’t help but be shocked and disappointed At how he is trying to wiggle out of marriage. That had my jaw hanging open.

Prince was not into that M1 marriage- it seems he played mind games on many women and that includes his wives.

Why? Was he just a bastard who liked to fuck with people for shits and giggles? Was it just his ego? Seems like a lot of effort to just stroke an ego?

True she would need to catch up. But you are forgetting that religious fanaticism also got in the way of their connection. IF he was gung-ho about his belief in his new faith (one of second resurrections, reincarnations etc) and his wife was not on board, maybe he thought the marriage was unfixable. I am not saying he was right. But people do a lot of judging prince on this site without giving the man the benefit of the doubt--a mind-fucker, woman-hoarder? But why? Demonizing Prince to sympathize with Mayte is not really going to get anyone closer to understanding the man this website is about.

I think his saying she doesn’t belong to him, was what it turned out to be. He wanted out. Seemed like Mayte was trying to take care of him. Now he chose a woman child for the job so he would need to let her catch up if he wanted a level of care that would have reflected what his peers( Larry) were getting. She needed time to be that type of companion. Yes I wish for his honest side too. I think woman hoarding kinda fits.

So he was a bastard who like to fuck with people for shits and giggles? You answered why he was able to CONTINUE doing it. You didn't answer why he did it in the first place.

I think mostly cause he got away with it. Each player allowed the spoiling to Continue.

Explain this analogy please? Do you think Michael's Neverland was a place in which a predator molested boys. Or do you think Neverland was a place where a man who was emotionally stunted lived a fantasy life?

Yes his Neverland was different but he had one none the less.

What was so great about the way she wrote the book? Do you understand Prince's motives any better or what she saw in him? Or do you just sympathize with her?

So Prince was Peter Pan from Never never land...is that what you mean? Delusional? Insular? Child-like? When you said Prince had a neverland too even though it was different--I couldn't help but think you were talking about MJ's neverland ranch..its an understandable assumption , is it not?

Neverland= his world his construct. I’m not bringing MJ into this. Neverland existed prior to MJ

Ummm to be clear I like all his women. I appreciate them all I have never bad mouthed one of them anywhere here ever. Now I will say I frankly State what I feel was off about anyone of them equally. All I’m saying is I like that she didn’t go after his money. And I have no problem with her book, her writing it or how she told her story in it. I do think she was nuts to ever marry a cheater.

Basically, Prince's head was turned by a pretty woman. This was not something new. 😑

If you had the look you for sure had a seat at the table.

Yes and M1 knew it.

Carmen was the woman when M1 showed up and Nona was around too- M1 never had him exclusively-what she did have was a baby. Much respect to the pregnancy.

It is sort of sad in a way.

The people who say that Mayte stalked him forget, that it was Prince who called all the time, it was Prince who told her she was in the band, but the first video she apeared in was in 1992, so if I got this right, she waited for two years and missed her chance with cairo, because he made her wait.

And yes she could've gone to cairo, but don't forget her age, and I think she was a little naive too. Because she was so young and in awe, because she met prince and even better, he called her too, they were talking on the phone. Just imagine it was one of you, you would've forgot ciaro too.

I would never blame Mayte, if I would have to blame anyone, I would blame her parents, especially her mother. She was the one who urged Mayte to do the video, Mayte didn't want to do it at first because she thought that he wouldn't be interested in it. But she couldn't know that Prince falls in love with her looks.

I think he respected what she did and that she did it since she was a child. I think he loved her passion for belly dancing. And she loved him and his passion for his music.

I wouldn't say they didn't love each other, because you could see it up until the tragic loss of their child and the misscariage. He loved her and she loved him, that's for sure.

But was it right? Well, if it's true that he waited with the relationship until she was 20 or older, than I see nothing wrong because both are adults, I don't care if their adults and there are a lot of couples with great age gaps that really do work but they managed to begin the relationship on the same level, Prince didn't do that. Prince manipulated her from the beginning, making her wait for two years, and telling her she can't go to cairo, because she's in the band. I don't think that's right. He should've started the relationship in another way. But Prince was controlling, Mayte is not the first person to say that, and the funny thing is, she protects him in every interview I've seen so far. She even protects him when it comes to his controlling ways, she never really attacks him for that.

Is she blind? Maybe, but that only shows you how much she still loves the man. Because love can make you blind. And don't forget her age when she was married to him.

You forget that this was all in book that came out after he died. We will never know what really went down cause Prince was not around to tell his side of the story.

Prince met Carmen in 1991. He met Mayte in 1990. She had his heart, hence The Love Symbol album he recorded from 1990-1992.

Why do you think the love symbol album was for M1?
