Of course, being a beard for a closeted homosexual is never easy.
But she signed up for this duty.
And I'm sure that the perks more than compensate her for her “troubles.”
Word is that she sought a divorce after he lost his first election after they were married. I can't remember what office he was seeking. However, she had to be enticed back with some sort of promise. I think that she was promised the perks of being first lady. so, it is possible that all her vacays are "her due" for being First Beard.
