"We're doing good. In marriage, marriage is already hard enough. And, I'm just like, you know, I actually want to clock the f*ck out, right? But, I can't leave him now. He has nobody. Like what type of person would I be at this point? His family has, and they don't care if he's eating tomorrow."

Later, The Real Housewives of Potomac couple Mia and Gordon discussed their divorce at lunch.

"I am concerned that he doesn't see the role that he plays that caused the sequence of events for him to get kicked out that then caused me not to continue to be in my role, which then caused us to move. We didn't just wake up one day and the family said, 'Hey, we no longer want you in these seats.'" Mia said.
