Barack Obama's Demanding Schedule 'Frustrates' Michelle

Barack Obama recently admitted it 'frustrates' his wife that Donald Trump's presidency has pulled him back into politics.
Just days prior to the ex-FLOTUS' sit-down with Chappelle aired, the New Yorker published an interview with Barack Obama in which he revealed his marriage has be affected by the current administration.
The former commander-in-chief admitted Donald's presidency has pulled him back into politics "more than [he] would have preferred," causing "genuine tension" in his relationship with Michelle.
"She wants to see her husband easing up and spending more time with her, enjoying what remains of our lives," Barack, 64, told the publication.

The couple have battled divorce rumors over the years.
"It does create a genuine tension in our household, and it frustrates her," he said, referring to his demanding campaign circuit schedule.
"I’m more forgiving of it, in the sense that I understand why people feel that way, because people aren’t looking at me in historical comparison to other presidents," the Democratic politician explained. "They don’t care about the fact that no other ex-president was the main surrogate for the Party for four election cycles after they left office."
Barack has remained a prominent figure of the Democratic party since leaving office in 2017, hopping on campaign trails throughout the country in every major election.

Michelle Obama Addressed 'Tough Times' in Their Marriage

'You can go through ten bad years in a 30-year-old marriage and that's still great odds,' the former first lady said recently.
Barack's remarks about his marriage come after Michelle, 62, opened up about the couple's ups and downs earlier this year.
"We’ve been married 30 plus years. Something works," she said on her podcast in March. "If you don’t let people know about the tough times, I think they quit too soon."
"That’s why I say things like you can go through ten bad years in a 30-year marriage and that’s still great odds," the mother-of-two went on, referring to a previous declaration in which she confessed she "couldn't stand" her husband for a decade.
'You Dig Deeper'

Michelle Obama said her and Barack have 'done the work.'
The Becoming author went on to say that "in any long relationship, there is going to be years, months, hours of time where things just don’t feel right," but "you don’t quit on it."
"You dig deeper. And if you don’t dig deeper, you miss all the stuff on the end," she said, adding that "the level of muscle Barack and I have in our marriage is earned. It’s earned over time and it’s only gotten better."
"That's the point. It only gets better," she proclaimed. "We’ve done the work."
