It's hard to say isn't it? My impression would be that she was used
to being doted on but that could be unfair. Here she is newly married
and all of a sudden this handsome guy who has been paying her a lot
of attention starts staying away late at night. I get the impression
that Straker treated her as the princess and treasured her but didn't
share an awful lot with her in the way of his feelings or what he was
doing. If they'd had better communication things probably would have
worked out. I know he couldn't say much about what he was doing but
he could have said something. Does this make her psycotic, no. I
think her reactions are probably fairly typical for someone in that
situation.

You're right about the parents being interfering though. Little hard
to make excuses for your husband when photos of him being with
another woman are shoved in your face.
