Meet The Campaign Widows
Having a spouse who's a campaign staffer can hit a marriage hard.
spouses married to presidential campaign staffers are a frustrated yet optimistic bunch. We knew what we were getting into, but we didn't know it would hit home this hard. As our spouses work ridiculously long hours and attend grueling but often glamorous fundraising events (sprinkled with celebrities and star athletes), we work equally long ones at home—taking care of the kids sunrise to sundown and doing decidedly unglamorous work like garbage duty and dishes.
