Freddie himself gave us the answer re Mary Austin/Jim/Phoebe etc.

Sorry, who are you to decide if anyone can have their own opinion about something? You have your own opinion and I have my own and as far as I am concerned my opinion is logical.
I don't mind that someone believes in a fairy tale about Mary, but I have if someone says that no one can have a different opinion about something. With that you said everything and made this whole discussion to not any sense.

Invisible Woman Explain the Ashes then. Why did he give only Mary possession and knowledge of the ashes?

@Tartlet I have already answered that through earlier posts. Actually, nobody really knows did she fulfil what he wanted. I believe his wish was exactly as Jim described it in his book. And I will stop with this discussion. I already said what I wanted to say.

Invisible Woman I expected this kind of answer from you because you have no response or explanation to the ashes. You have neither answered it already nor are answering it now. Instead you choose to be offended and exit the discussion as expected. Nor do any of the Mary bashers.

As somebody phrased it better than I did: I don’t understand why anybody would want to put down Mary, the person Freddie loved and trusted the most, which he LITERALLY gave himself to (referring to ashes again).

Mary was like a mother/sister figure for Freddie, while Jim was his romantic partner. Case closed

@Tartlet All right. Then what do you want? Should we be arguing about this forever? I don't have that intention.
And I answered that through my posts. If you don't understand that's not my problem.

Invisible Woman You haven’t answered my question re the ashes but that’s okay because I already know the answer.

At the end of the day, i doubt there is one person in this thread that would leave a penny to their au pair, house cleaner or gardner when they die.....so why would Freddie leave anything to his staff?

Theres your answer in a nutshell.

Oh, yes, I answered and my answer is in my posts. You just have to read carefuly.
But OK. You know everything about it and you decide which opinion is right and which is wrong. Your opinion and your point of view are right and different opinions are wrong. :-D

He left some money to Joe Fanelli though....

Mariah Carey, glad you could have a good laugh on someone else’s account. :D

Seriously though, who calls his mother or sister his common-law wife? It’s highly unlikely that Freddie thought of Mary as a motherly figure as you may have hoped.

“All my lovers asked me why they couldn't replace Mary, but it's simply impossible. The only friend I've got is Mary and I don't want anybody else. To me, she was my common-law wife. To me, it was a marriage. We believe in each other, that's enough for me.” Freddie Mercury

Why then he didn't stay with her and didn't marry her?

Mariah Carey because he was gay. He wanted to have sex with men.

Exactly. So as I said, Mary was like mother/sister figure to him, Jim was his romantic partner
