Trouble on the horizon
But there was trouble in paradise not long after the two got hitched. It was clear that Lucy was bending over backward to make Desi happy. Friends recall numerous moments where Lucy would constantly dote on Desi, but nothing she did made him happy. It seemed that their premature decision to get married wasn’t as passionate as people thought.
Less than a year into their marriage, Lucy was already filing for divorce. Despite this, it was clear that she was still head-over-heels in love with her husband, even if he didn’t reciprocate those feelings. Her reasons for filing for divorce included his long periods of absence (he was busy touring), substance abuse, and infidelity. Yikes.
