“And he was like, ‘Yeah, of course she lost. She is an awful human being,’ ” she said.

“It was like a light went off for me. And I thought, ‘Oh boy, we’re going to have trouble.’ ”

For the next three years, Catherine felt like she was living an alternate reality. Her husband was her high school sweetheart. A rekindled love after a first marriage, children and divorce. They barely fought for the first 11 years of their marriage. And now they were working through major ideological differences.
