“Our relationship has been so easy up until a year ago,” she said. “I feel like we are now roommates. I’m trying new things. I’m trying to spice this s*** up.”
Tamra and Eddie Judge celebrated 13 years of marriage this past summer, and on the September 3 episode of “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” Tamra, 59, opened up about how fragile things have gotten. “We were in Big Bear and the entire trip we were just arguing about stupid things. We were driving home, and he just looked at me and said, ‘I think it’s time to file for divorce.’”
She says the conversation scared her. She booked a night at the oceanfront Surf & Sand Laguna Beach hotel to reconnect, even giving herself the nickname Miss Juicy for the date. But she also owned her part in the distance.
“I know that I’m a really hard, tough person and I don’t give a lot emotionally and maybe I’m the problem,” she said. “I can’t let this marriage go. He’s such a good man and it just feels like we need to get this connection back.”
