Former First Lady Michelle Obama opened up about the time during her marriage with former President Barack Obama when she “couldn’t stand” him.
Earlier this month, Michelle Obama shared with REVOLT how having children impacted their marriage.
“People think I’m being catty for saying this: it’s like, there were 10 years where I couldn’t stand my husband,” she said.
Michelle Obama added, “And guess when it happened? When those kids were little.”
The former first lady went on to reflect on the time during which they were trying to work on their careers while raising children.
“For 10 years while we’re trying to build our careers and worrying about school and who’s doing what and what, I was like, ‘Argh, this isn’t even!’” Michelle Obama said.
She continued, “And guess what? Marriage isn’t 50/50, ever. Ever. There are times I’m 70, he’s 30. There are times he’s 60, 40. But guess what? Ten years. We’ve been married 30. I would take 10 bad years over 30 — it’s just how you look at it. People give up — ‘Five years; I can’t take it.’”
