The problem John Wayne had with women was he expected them to follow him around film location to location. He loved working on films and couldnt understand why everyone else didnt.
In regards to the wives Josephine and him had separate lifestyles that eventually lead to a split, Chata for all intensive purposes was a drunk who he was lucky to outlive as she shot at him one time and Pilar after a long marriage eventually grew apart.
He had a relationship with Pat Stacy who was his secretary from I think around the time Mc Q was made and they seem to have both found happiness in their time together until his death.
Pat's book on John Wayne is excellent and gives insight into his life in his last years.
