Michelle Obama Says She ‘Couldn’t Stand’ Barack for 10 Years

Former First Lady Michelle Obama opened up about the fact she detested her husband, former President Barack Obama, for over a decade early in their marriage.

Michelle made the admission during an interview earlier this month with Revolt, explaining that she came close to ending her marriage with the 44th president.

“People think I’m being catty for saying this: it’s like, there were 10 years where I couldn’t stand my husband,” the former first lady said. “And guess when it happened? When those kids were little.”

“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!’” Obama 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.’”

Michelle went on to qualify her statements, claiming she always respected Barack through the ups and downs.

“Do you like him? I mean, you could be mad at him, but do you still look at him and go, ‘I’m not happy with you, but I respect you. I don’t agree with you, but you’re still a kind, smart person,’” she said of relationship troubles.

Though Michelle’s disparaging remarks aren’t that uncommon among married couples, they are nevertheless notable given how she’s portrayed as America’s picture of morality.
