This is all very cynical regarding love, my relationship is working has been for six years what a grim outlook some of you have on love. Are are you just being realists? Dont shatter my dreams y'all!! [Edited 10/8/07 12:19pm] Oh Princey if your free for a couple of hours...If you aint busy for the next 7 years...Lets Pretend were married, and go all night.. | |

[Edited 10/8/07 12:19pm] Love's great when it works, it's when it breaks down it's a bitch. Can't help but be cynical when the person you love and trust the most also hurts you the most. Sorry to be a realist. Love is an illusion, but it's the only illusion that counts!!! I gotta Phd in advanced body movement..... | |

LondonSusan said: Hmm some of the comments here make me mention something i've been wondering about recently - how many of the lyrics he writes are autobiographical? A few of you guys have quoted lines from songs to shed light on how he feels about relationships... do any orgers know if he's been asked about this in interviews or anything? It seems like some of the songs tell little stories that grab his fancy (unless he actually did sleep with his sister when he was 16!?!?!), but some of the seem so deeply from the heart it's heard to believe they aren't about his personal feelings. Whaddya think?
He seems to always say that his songs are works of fiction, I know he said that about Another Lonely Christmas. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

They don't work because he's not truly ready to settle down and put in the effort that it takes to have a lasting relationship...therefore choosing women that aren't right for him...or allowing the wrong women choose him.. 
When the right woman comes along it will make the world of difference.  He gets it! That's why the ladies love him...  | |

as an Artist I can tell you..
There is nothing better than the "Thought" of having a One and Only ! But at some point the newness wears off..and the mask come off too..at that point you have to decide if you are "Willin to do the work" That it takes to maintain a healthy relationship where both partners grow and stay true to who they are while still doing it together as a team..For a lot of performers thats very hard to do when so much of the motivation that you need to "do what you do" comes from adulation from the public (particularly the opposite sex) and that public seems a hell of a lot more loving and faithful than the angry woman thats pissed off because you didnt wash the dishes..or stop working on music so that you could keep your plans with her to have dinner with friends..ect...I also can imagine someone like Prince who is always on point..dressed to the 9's..make up..heels..ect..must love the "thought" of dropping all that for a a while to be with someone where he doesn't need to put on "a show"..But...That comfort I can imagine makes him start to feel after a while like he's "losing his mojo" and once again..If the newness in the relationship has worn off..I can easily see him sitting down with a guitar and a pen dreaming about all the Happy and willing asses he could be getting if he were out "BEING PRINCE" and then writing..
I LOVE YOU BABY..BUT NOT LIKE I LOVE MY GUITAR ! | |

Honestly, I think he sounds like the most amazing lover/husband/partner, like if you were loved by him you would be the luckiest perosn alive, so why has he not found the 'one' yet? I think Prince has someone in mind. But I think he's a little hesitant. He needs to get over his fear and make a move. Time is so precious. This is one of the most interesting replies this far. Who do you have in mind? Mayte...? | |

I agree with what several people have ventured - that accomplished/successful artists, whether they be musicians/dancers/writers/painters/comedianss/actors, etc. are so consumed and obsessed with their art that in a sense, everything else must take second place. He certainly manifests signs of being a dictator/narcissist/egotistical control-freak, who has highly changeable moods and a low boredom threshold. All these personality foibles enabled him and enable him to be the successful musician/performer that he is and without out them I suspect he could not have scaled the creative heights he has and continues to reach.
On a general note, people rarely see relationships for what they are, without preconceived expectations and projecting their own desire-fuelled imperfections and illusions on to them. Our motivations for having relationships are typically self-centred and selfish, whether we accept the truth of this or not. Everyone aspires to experience unconditional love, but how is this possible where relationships are driven by self-interested desires of various kinds? I recommend anyone who has the inclination, intellectually and spiritually to read anything J. Krishnamurti has written or had published on "Relationships." The cold-light of truth may make for uncomfortable reading but it is incredibly purifying and salutary once the illusions fall away. Indi. | |

[Edited 10/8/07 12:19pm] not trying to shatter your dreams, darlin but reality is reality. MOST relationships fail. which to me is fine, because i don't think we're supposed to be with one person forever. http://www.facebook.com/p...111?ref=ts

I think it *is* possible for Prince or anyone else to have a lasting relationship, but it requires certain elements:
1) Find happiness within yourself I think it is most important to try and find happiness within yourself first and once this is achieved you are then ready for a positive and possibly lasting relationship with someone. Only if *both* people are equally content with their own life, is there a solid ground to start building a relationship. You cannot build a house on sand. 2) Patience + Tolerance + Understanding = Love Of course you also have to deeply love and respect the other person, be able to forgive and learn from each other and look beyond the little imperfections of life… Relationships require patience and understanding (and a good sense of humour). It takes two people to make it work. Unfortunately in our selfish consumerist society most of us expect to have all of our desires met at the click of a button… If we’re not happy with a product, we send it back and get a replacement. Unfortunately, intolerance is not compatible with love. 3) Respect each other's freedom Another problem in most relationships is whenever the individual freedom disappears and one of the partners starts putting pressure on the other. Especially for artists, who need more time and space to be able to create, their partner would have to either share those creative moments (a good example was Paul McCartney and Linda, who used to write music together) or spend those times doing something they are themselves passionate about. It's good to still be able to relax and have fun when you are in a long term relationship. 4) A good chemistry. (Obviously) Although this plays a very important role in a relationship, it will gradually become totally ineffective in the long term, if used without the other elements… 5) Trust You can't stay with someone if you don't trust them. 6) Share a common goal Without it, a relationship will become dull. In any case, it is best to be alone than to stay in the wrong relationship... [Edited 10/9/07 4:55am] | |

PurpleKnight said: LOL Yeah, his music portrays him as the ideal bf, but music is hardly the most honest indicator of his real life behaviour.
Of course, none of us know Prince, but the most obvious things are that he's a type two control freak and narcissistic. That doesn't bode well for interpersonal relationships. [Edited 10/8/07 9:34am] in my limited experience it is possible to be with someone who is exactly that - there may be other things about a particular person which draw you to them - often something you cannot put into words and indefinable - and you accept it as part of their personality  "C'mon y'all - let me hear you sing, c'mon y'all, shake, c'mon y'all, jump" - Yes Prince -
"London do you feel for me what I feel for you"- yes Prince - "Can I play my guitar now?" - yes please | |

He's married to his music and having an affair with himself 
True, he is married to his work, as artists tend to be. But truth be told, you do have to love yourself before you can openly love anyone else. He's probably just afraid of commitment because past ones haven't worked for him. Warner Brothers have made him distrustful of contracts and any "binding" relationships. Which is why he's probably afraid of having a 3rd marriage.  He's a tricky fellow, but this is what I've gathered so far.you don't have to get married to have a wonderful relationship - in my experience "C'mon y'all - let me hear you sing, c'mon y'all, shake, c'mon y'all, jump" - Yes Prince -
"London do you feel for me what I feel for you"- yes Prince - "Can I play my guitar now?" - yes please | |

He needs a WOMAN not a young girl. He needs someone who has raised children and would know how to handle his mood swings and tantrums well...with PATIENCE and unconditional love. | |

He obviously hasn't found his soul mate yet. Prince is magic | |

I always felt that Mayte was really his soul mate, but he just is so used to controlling things that when they lost the child he withdrew and didn't know how to give or receive comfort, so he turned to the only thing he knew his music. | |

His relationships don't last for the same reason mine don't.....once u find out the other person is an ass**le, u kind of lose interest. "Bring friends, bring your children and bring foot spray 'cause it's gon' be funky." ~ Prince

How do you know he hasn't? Because YOU'RE not aware? I'll bet on one thing for sure: He's doing WHATEVER and WHOEVER he chooses. And I'd also bet he's happy and content with just that.  | |

Well as for the "chooses" quote, thats part of Karma, but he isn't content no one is content with someone who isn't their TRUELOVE in this Physical World WE and everyone else exists in! | |

In order to find your soulmate, you must first find out who and what you are. Usually relationships are about finding elements of your soulmate split-ups occur when realizing that while you like certain things about someone, they're not your soulmate. | |

I agree. The grief for the loss of their son has taken its toll on their relationship. Many people think that such an horrible event will make a relationship tighter but in many case the grief demands so much from you that there is no place in your life for the other for a long while. I would love to see them together again, but when I see how much Mayte has grown since then maybe it would not be the best for her. While with Prince she was a shy woman, always on the background, dominated by him. Now she has an acting career and is an emancipated woman. | |
