Why is there change?

I have had BAD luck trying to find a saddle that worked for me. At one point I had a saddle that LITERALLY left me bleeding after a ride (cobb saddle). Tried an Arione and it felt great. after 80 miles it felt so firm and hard that I tried the Tri2 arione. It has been a great saddle. not to much padding and overall the shape has fit me. So I thought. The last 5 rides (Averaged 50 miles) my saddle has been chaffing me raw right in the crease of my crotch (where my sack and thigh come together). I use chamois cream which helped at times. Wondering why I wasn't having this problem for a year and now all of a sudden its frequent. I'm wondering if the mid part of the saddle is wider than that part of my body which is creating some sort of friction?

Also wondering if it is to narrow for me (which sounds like a complete controdiction since I stated it possibly being to wide above). When I'm sitting at the widest point my sit bones feel like they are right on the edge. Its not like I have gained any weight over the year or something. Just kind of weird that this wasn't an issue in the past. I'm not trying to sound like some rookie asking which saddle they should buy next. I'm just at a loss here.

feels to wide at mid saddle, to narrow at the back? thats odd isn't it?
