After years of debating marriage, Michelle and Barack Obama tied the knot in 1992, but their arguments didn’t end there. As Michelle confessed to Revolt TV in 2022, “There were 10 years when I couldn’t stand my husband.” They had just become parents and she began to resent Barack because while she was at home with the girls, he was able to pursue his career and even find time to go to the gym and on work trips.
“For 10 years, while we’re trying to build our careers and, you know, worrying about school and who’s doing what, I was like, ‘Ugh, this isn’t even,’” she confessed. Soon, she was forced to face a harsh reality. “Marriage isn’t 50/50 — ever,” she proclaimed. “There are times I’m 70, he’s 30. There are times he’s 60, [I’m] 40.”
Michelle also spoke about that notion on an episode of “The Michelle Obama Podcast,” sharing how things will inevitably change in any union once kids come. She argued that “just the act of giving birth creates an inequality” because “if your wife is breastfeeding, if she has a career, she’s gonna have to make a different set of sacrifices than you do.” As for how she and Barack made it through, Michelle said they simply refused to give up. “You’ve gotta know that there are going to be long periods of time when you can’t stand each other” and just work through them, she said.
