This TV Star Gave Her Spouse 24 Hours to Fulfill What She Asked For – He Failed & She Divorced Him ASAP
|- This famous woman had a successful legal career for several decades.
- But her love life went through its fair share of challenges.
- Despite that, she and her second husband raised five children, three of whom followed in their footsteps.
The television star knew that she wanted to have children and realized it was time for her to get married. At 20 years old, she married her first husband and thereafter quit her job to raise her two children. For some time, she was happy to do all the duties that involved being a stay-at-home mom.
But several years into being a housewife, the woman was bored. She then decided to go back to school for a master’s degree to restart her legal career. The problem was that her spouse didn’t like the change.
He believed that her job was just a hobby, which caused tension in the couple’s marriage. The husband’s refusal to take his wife’s job seriously forced them apart. The pair divorced after 12 years of marriage.
The woman’s decision to divorce her partner was not an easy one. She said, “It was scary. I was the first divorce in my family.” Within a short time, she met another man who would soon be her second husband.
The man first met the woman in a bar while speaking to a journalist. “I just finished trying a murder case as a defense lawyer,” he said. She walked up to him, put her finger in his face, and asked who he was.
“I said, ‘Lady, get your finger out of my face.’ We’ve been together ever since,” he recalled. Although the man had been separated from his first wife for about three years, they were not yet officially divorced. As their romance progressed, he still hadn’t divorced his wife, so the woman gave him an ultimatum:
“After we were together for about a year, I said, ‘I want to see your divorce in the newspaper, or don’t bother calling again.'”
In 1990, the future world-renowned public figure experienced the devastating loss of her father. Reeling from the grief, she told the man it was her turn to be taken care of. However, the husband wasn’t accustomed to what his wife asked for and didn’t know how to care for her. He asked her:
“Tell me what you want me to do, you can’t just say ‘take care of me.’ What does that mean?”
She didn’t specify what she needed from him and asked him to take care of her. The woman then told him that she would divorce him if he couldn’t fulfill her request. He dared her to, and 24 hours later, they divorced.
