Recently I stumbled upon a lot of photos where they were together and as much as I don't pay attention to personal life of a rockstar I like, Keith is an exception. Seeing me as self-shipper you might think: "she looks at them and she's jealous", but in reality I'm not like that, I'm happy to see that Keith had someone like her. I'm actually happy to see any photo with them because, in comparison to Keith's photos with Kim, Keith's photos with Anette have different vibe.

I'm not saying Keith loved Kim less than Anette, far from that, Keith was fucking obsessed with Kim to a very toxic level, but I think her leaving him and the divorce taught him something and that's why he treated Anette differently. They just seem very happy together in photos, just look:

Additionally, whenever you see an interview with Anette or even read how she talks about Keith, even after all these years she still misses him. She talks about the bad things - how his behaviour could shift from calm to psychotic in a second after he took drugs or drunk a lot, how she begged him to seek help with his alcoholism knowing how difficult it was especially at the times they lived together - but she also talks about his sweet side, the loving side that pictures him as a little boy with a lot of insecurities and in need of mental help - how sweet he could be when he was sober, how he loved her, how he wanted to propose to her or how he could not drink when they were on a trip, far away from all the popularity around Keith.

To quote and not be just someone who says something and don't show a proof of that:

"On June 4, 1978, Keith and Annette left for a month-long holiday on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Everyone hoped that getting Keith away from the bars and clubs and other temptations of London, now that the nine-month ordeal of Who Are You was finally over, would be good for his health.

It appeared to be. The holiday was idyllic, the couple spending their time scuba diving, fishing, lying on the beach and reading. They befriended a reformed alcoholic who had worked with the Beatles, and Keith seemed impressed by the attractions sobriety could offer. Indeed, just as in Tahiti, he showed that he could take or leave the booze."

Quote from: T. Fletcher, Dear Boy: The life of Keith Moon, Omnibus Press, 1999, p. 505.

Sure, Keith was still out of control, his health was getting worse, his decision making horrible as usual, but in the end it was Anette who he trusted the most, the one who he turned to cry and tell her everything.

With the growing up, as far as it can concern him, I don't mean the cheating, because that was out of control, I meant the factor of treating Anette as a woman. As far as I know there wasn't any physical abuse from Keith's side, not like with Kim. Anette had to suffer the verbal abuse, but that is sadly impossible to avoid with drunkards and drug abusers. He treated her more like his girlfriend and a part of his life than he ever treated Kim (and that woman didn't deserve anything that she had to suffer through while being Keith's wife). So considering how he was while being married to Kim, this is a BIG progress from his side.
