Yaelle, she only makes $179,000 a year. In DC, with the cost of living, that isn’t much money. He is extremely cruel as you’ve noted. I’m sure he makes far more than she does. He is the kind of creep that would hound her to death legally, which would bankrupt her in a NY second.
If they do live apart, she can probably tolerate him because she doesn’t have to see him everyday. Hopefully the kids are in DC with her.
I just think it unfair that she has to pay the price for his idiocy. She is good at her job.
If it isn’t that, there must be something going on in the
background that we know nothing about. It all makes no sense. Is he being blackmailed? Does the DS have him in their clutches? Something is amiss.
I wish she wasn’t paying the price she is already paying! He is threatening her livelihood! Yes, a mean person can push your employer to question whether you are right for the job, especially if it’s the White House!
My suggestion of her coming out publicly (even through a written statement to the press) and saying that she is being blackmailed to stay with him over custody or finances, might be the best way for her to hang onto her job and maybe find an attorney who can find her a loophole. This is not a loving husband to stay hitched to.
