I never wanted to separate from either wife. It was accumulated stress. We had virtually no time to ourselves. After politics we were both working very hard to establish new careers.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Anybody who was in the military or a military family has a certain sensitivity to the separation. Everyone knows military wives have the hardest jobs. I was born into one. When I think back to those days, I didn't appreciate it then.
My wife and I love each other very much.
I was really a little housewife with two small children, and I had a husband who really didn't want his wife to work. He didn't like the competition. That's why I'm not married to him anymore.
Divorce was miserable, as it always is, and we divorce for the same reasons we marry.
The marriage didn't work out but the separation is great.
I didn't want a divorce but had to because of circumstance.
I wanted my marriage to work, but it didn't.
I felt we really couldn't be separated that much. I'd had a baby, and I was traveling and working alone while he was in the Army. It was very difficult-the phone calls and all of that. I really was very depressed.
It's so easy to grow apart; marriage takes work.
I couldn't bear a marriage in which one partner hinges on the other.
