Oh absolutely, Scott's character never recovered from abandoning the wife who looked just like his old girlfriend to be with his old girlfriend. And it just kept getting worse, with him cheating on Jean with Emma.

I can imagine jealousy naturally occurring but I think it had more to do with Claremont's success rather than the tools in which he used. Too perhaps he had a lot more creative freedom than other writers did. From what I understand each editor/writer relationship is different, which I guess is why Mark Waid's run on X-Men was what I heard unremarkable because he was operating under a lot of editorial mandates. I'm sorry I don't have any links to confirm that, just what a friend told me after listening to some blogs.

Maybe the whole exile to Australia thing was Claremont unconsciously exiling himself from the rest of the MU, distancing himself from men and women he didn't know how to collaborate with. I heard his split with John Byrne had been nasty, maybe that soured him on the very thought of collaboration with others.
