Einstein was a bit absenminded, but otherwise a social sort of person who had a good marriage for many years, although I think he ended up divorced.
Err...not particularly good. He married twice, the second time was to a distant cousin. His first wife was educated in his field, so he could discuss things with her. But he was never home, and when he was, he was working away at his equations. She was highly neglected, and they divorced. His second wife supported him in his pursuit science, but had no backround in the field. But that marriage fell apart as well. Also, he was VERY absent-minded and disorganized.

I beleive most of this to be true, i did a mini-biography on einstein 2 years ago for school.
