Michelle: ‘There Were 10 Years Where I Couldn’t Stand’ Barack

In an interview with Revolt TV this month, former First Lady Michelle Obama revealed  that she could not stand former President Barack Obama for a decade during the early years of 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,” said Michelle. “And guess when it happened? When those kids were little,” she said, adding that little kids “have demands. They don’t talk. They’re poor communicators. They cry all the time. They’re irrational. They’re needy. And you love them more than anything. And so you can’t blame them. So you turn that ire on each other…

“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 said. “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.’”

We understand, Michelle. We still can’t stand your husband.
