...Diana claimed that time was the happiest she was in the marriage, but I think it says something that she was happy when Charles was miserable. I am happiest when my husband is happy and vice versa. I think that is true of most solid marriages.
Diana still suffered from bulimia and (I think) a personality disorder. He was starting to get a little jealous that she was getting too much attention and she wasn't willing to tone it down a bit. And he and Diana didn't have enough in common with each other to fill the hole in Charles life when he stopped seeing Camilla.
Does anyone really believe that if Camilla had been out of the picture, Charles and Diana would have been incredibly happy? The breakdown of the marriage had nothing to do with the men in gray suits, Camilla, Barry Manakee, the media or anything else. I think if they had been committed to each other it would have worked out.
Note, I didn't say they had to be in love with each other. Being in love alone is not an indicator of whether two people will be happy. They have to be able to communicate with each other and cooperate to solve problems. Diana became hysterical when she hit a bump in the road and Charles tended to withdraw into himself. That is a recipe for disaster. They needed someone to help them communicate productively.
