They need proof from outside the marriage. It\u2019s really sad. It\u2019s all about them. It\u2019s not about their wives at all. With George and Eric it was simply because they had women telling them how wonderful they were all the time. Women make the mistake of thinking that sex is love. Men are able to be a bit more detached about it,\u201d Boyd wrote for <em>The Guardian<\/em> in November 2008.<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cI read Eric\u2019s autobiography and his description of our marriage. His reflection of it is much colder than I believed he felt at the time. I fell into his seductive trap and I believed it, whereas reading his book it seemed like he had forgotten how he was when we were together. Women hang onto the romanticism of a relationship. But a man compartmentalises it into the past and then gets on with his new life.
