Michelle Obama gives candid insight into 'relationship problems' with Barack as she reveals innermost fears
U.K. Daily Mail ^ | 12/05/2024 | Cydney Yeatey

Michelle Obama has shared insight into how she and her husband Barack Obama overcome their marriage problems, while also laying bare continuous body image issues.

While the former first lady, 60, and ex-president, 63, celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary in October, it took them 'a lot of practice' to learn how they can conquer their disagreements.

Getting candid about how they deal with conflict in her new book, Overcoming: A Workbook, Michelle admitted that she runs a 'lot hotter' than her husband does and that it takes her significantly more time to be ready to unpack an argument.

'My brain will sometimes implode at the outset of a conflict, and the last thing I want to do is engage in some instantly rational, bullet-pointed debate about who's right or what the solution is.'

She penned: 'In my marriage, it took us some time and a lot of practice to figure out how to work through our disagreements.

'Barack, it turns out, is an on-the-spot fixer. He likes to jump right in and try to hash out a relationship problem immediately when it surfaces.

'I, on the other hand, run a lot hotter and slower than my husband does. I boil over with irritation and then have to work my way gradually back toward reason.

She shouldn’t be living her private life in public. She already has enough money, nobody cares, and it just brings out the idiots.

An inside look at the complexities of marriage between two queer men. Sounds like a real page turner

They lost a bunch of political capital supporting the Kamala ticket.

Should have stayed on the sidelines and waited until 2028 to endorse somebody like Wes Moore.

All women should be concerned when their husband is actually gay.

She could have just said: "I'm an angry woman with impulse control issues."

Nailed it.

Lack of impulse control goes hand in hand with laziness.

I would hate Obama a little less if he dumped the b@tch.

Perhaps Michelle is actually female?

Creating a narrative of being more human for the Dems...instead of the evil, power hungry liars they are.
The lying and gaslighting of the Dems and media is going to keep on going until their ideology and power is destroyed.
