Patti Boyd did go back & forth between Eric Clapton & George Harrison. Tragically by the time she finally settled for Eric Clapton, it was too late & he ended up treating her like trash just the way she'd treated him like trash all those years he longed for her.

Did I get any of that right?, or please tell me if I'm showing symptoms of dementia. Sincerely please tell me.

Nah, Clapton treated her bad because he's shit person. A great guitarist, but a shit person.

He wrote at least two beautiful songs about her. Seriously the whole saga of both of those men being in love with Patty Boyd was heartbreaking on Eric Clapton's end, Patty Boyd really did shatter his heart, maybe he was already a shitty person, I don't know but having your heart broken probably wouldn't make things any better.

I've never cared enough to dig up the whole story, but it sounds like Patty was the problem.
