Mary Guibert, who was 18 years old and three months pregnant, was in the spring of 1966 while Tim was away. Tim’s wife thought he was spending time with other women even before he departed for New York.
By no means was a match made in heaven, according to her, this union. “He had only recently remained loyal to me. And I assumed that was okay since, after all, he was so wonderful and I was such an imposter”.
Before he left for New York, Mary claims she notified Tim about her pregnancy. However, she claims he advised her to move back in with her family in Orange County, close to Los Angeles, get a job, save money, and “maybe get an abortion or whatever you want to do.”
Why did Buckley leave Jeff?
Tim departed, not because he didn’t care about his unborn child, but because he was just starting out in the music business and he also couldn’t stand Mary. He abandoned Mary; he did not abandon Jeff.
