Speaking to Revolt in early December, she said: “People think I suck for saying this: it’s like I couldn’t stand my husband for 10 years.
“And guess when it happened? When these kids were little.
“For ten years while we were trying to build our careers and worrying about school and who was doing what and what, I was like, ‘Argh, that’s not even.'”
‘And guess what? Marriage is never 50/50. je. Sometimes I’m 70, he’s 30. Sometimes he’s 60, 40. But guess what? ten years.
“We’ve been married for 30. I would take 10 bad years over 30 – that’s just how you look at it. People give up – “Five years; I can not stand.’
