Joseph McStay feared wife was POISONING him before they disappeared claims book | Daily Mail Online
"
And while he does not believe Summer was directly involved, he will dedicate a significant amount of the book to her behavior and the couple’s relationship.
He said: ‘Summer was a very self-centered, self-obsessed person with an awful temper. She really didn’t like anyone being around Joseph and the family other than herself and a very small, selective group of people.
‘Despite all the time I spent with Joseph, I had no kind of relationship with her. He would often come up and visit me and we would go out for dinner with my wife at the time, but Summer never came.
‘And when we were out she would call him constantly. He would try to ignore it at first, but she would call and call and eventually he would have to go off and deal with whatever drama there was.
‘She would shout at him in the privacy of their own home, but then put on a front like he was the most important person in the world when they were in public.
‘She would fawn over him and call him, ‘her Joseppi’. She was obsessed with the idea of being Italian and that was her name for him.
‘But despite that public front, I know, prior to their disappearance they had not had sex in more than a year. Basically, she wouldn’t let him near her. They slept in the same bed, but were never intimate.
‘Obviously that was a real problem for Joseph and he used to talk to me about it regularly. He told me when they had first got together they had a great sex life, but she just lost interest.
‘The impression I get is that Summer would use her sexuality to get attention and get what she wanted. Everything with her seemed to be done for gain.’"
