“One day, he says, ‘This is my dream. I’ve always wanted to do this.’ I said, ‘Honey, I’ve been with you for years. I went through law school with you. I have three children with you. Now, you’re telling me for the first time that this is your dream to open your own law firm.’ I had never heard of this,” she said.
