The time in the White House apparently also burdened the marriage of the Obamas: According to a report, the former US President indicates that he was in a “big deficit” towards Michelle. And not for the first time.
In the past, Barack Obama and his wife Michelle spoke that the time in the White House was not good for their marriage. According to a media report, the former US President has now indicated that he apparently wanted to make a lot of things in recent years. At a certain point in time, he was in a “big deficit” in marriage, Obama said a report by the portal “The Daily Beast”. He tried to overcome the ditch by doing “occasionally fun things”.
As early as May 2023, the former president spoke about marriage problems at the time. In conversation with “CBS Mornings”, he explained that “it will certainly help not to be in the White House” and to spend more time together if you work on the consolidation of your relationship.
At the end of 2022, Michelle Obama said in a talent group: “People think that I am vaulted when I say: There were ten years in which I couldn’t stand my husband. And when was this time? When the children were small.” The two would have wanted to follow their careers at the same time, while among other things they also had to take care of school and the division of the tasks.
The former First Lady did not feel equal: “Marriage is not 50/50, never, never. There are times when I do 70, he 30 (percent). There are times when he is 60, I know: Ten years – we are 30 married. I accept ten bad years for 30 – it only depends on how to see it.” Many would give up and think after five years that they could no longer.
The Obamas have been married since 1992. The couple lived in the White House between 2009 and 2017. In 1998 the daughter Malia was born, in 2001 daughter Sasha followed.
