The marriage was not a success. Fawzia was deeply unhappy in Iran, and often missed Egypt.[33] Fawzia's relations with her mother-in-law and her sisters-in-law were notably tempestuous as the Queen Mother and her daughters saw her as a rival for Mohammad Reza's affections, and the women constantly feuded with each other.[34] One of Mohammad Reza's sisters broke a vase over Fawzia's head.[35] The womanizing Mohammad Reza was frequently unfaithful to Fawzia, and was often seen driving around with other women in Tehran from 1940 onward.[34] Popular rumor had it that Fawzia for her part had an affair with her minder, described as an athletic, handsome man, through her friends insist that this was merely malicious gossip.[35] Fawzia's son-in-law, Ardeshir Zahedi told the Iranian-American historian Abbas Milani in a 2009 interview about the rumors: "She is a lady and never veered from the path of purity and fidelity".[35] From 1944 onward, Fawzia was treated for depression by an American psychiatrist, as she stated her marriage was a loveless one and she desperately wanted to go back to Egypt.[36]
