Former American president, Barack Obama, recently disclosed that his time in the White House put a strain on his marriage to Michelle Obama, saying he was in a “deep deficit” with his wife.
According to the thehill.com “I was in a deep deficit with my wife,” Obama told Hamilton College President Steven Tepper, when asked about his post-White House life at a Thursday event.
“So, I have been trying to dig myself out of that hole by doing occasionally fun things,” Obama, 63, quipped.
The Obamas tied the knot in 1992.
The former commander in chief has said before that exiting the executive mansion in 2017 helped strengthen his relationship with his spouse.
“Let me just say this: It sure helps to be out of the White House and to have a little more time with her,” Obama said in 2023.
Beyond getting back in his wife’s good graces, the ex-president said he spends his time focused on the Obama Foundation and finishing up the second half of his memoirs. The first volume, “A Promised Land,” was published in 2020.
“This is like 50 term papers. I mean, it just goes on forever,” Obama said of his literary effort.
“People ask me, ‘Do you enjoy writing?’ I say, ‘Absolutely not,’ but I do enjoy having written when it’s finished,” Obama said.
“I’m hoping to get to the finish line on that.”
