One of the greatest actors of the 90s is David Arquette. It is surprising to know he faced inferiority during the early days of his marriage. He was married to Courtney Cox from 1999 to 2012. Courtney Cox was among those top-listed actresses. She played Monica Geller in one of the popular sitcoms Friends. Since 1994-2004. She met David in 1996 while shooting for Scream.
During those years he was under the influence of a strong male ego. Which led to multiple arguments between them. He regretted all of them. Later started working on himself to make things work.
Why Was David Arquette Suffered From An Inferiority Complex?
It was simply because his wife was more famous than him. David Arquette couldn’t accept the popularity Courtney Cox was gaining. All the attention she was receiving made him insecure.
David Arquette confessed how he was threatened by her wife’s success. She did receive a lot of attention. Most of the young men had a crush on her. When Friends first started no one had any clue it was going to make a massive success.
Courtney Cox along with Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow was at the top of actresses at that time. They perhaps ruled the television world. David Arquette’s ‘traditional male’ instinct surfaced. He wanted to be the breadwinner and man of the house. Her fame brought a lot of unwanted arguments.
David Arquette now regrets his reactions. He regrets how he responded to her. Things got unbearable at times. Those peak moments led him to change himself. He let outside matters influence his reactions. In the meantime, he was hurting her but didn’t even realize it.
All these things came down to him and decided to work on himself instead. David Arquette started working on himself building better confidence. He communicated his needs and boundaries with Courtney. It was a game-changer for both of them.
They had Coco Arquette in 2004. She is a beautiful young woman now. They separated in 2012. However back then Courtney Cox did mention David Arquette is her only best friend. No matter what happens they will remain best friends. David Arquette got married to Christina McLarty in 2015. They have been co-parenting since 2012.
