“Einstein” is often used as a synonym for a smart person, and like many smart people, the original Einstein had difficult relationships (you are welcome to use this article as your excuse). When things got difficult with his first wife, he decided to write her a list of rules to save their relationship. Some rules: she had to cook and clean for him, should shut up when he asked her to, and she should not expect any affection. Unsurprisingly, she divorced his ass. The fact that he was cheating on her – with his cousin – might have helped.
None deterred, he married his aforementioned cousin. Of course, he soon started cheating on her with his secretary. His second wife didn’t mind his cheating so much, and he would describe his affairs to her in letters. In one incident, when one mistress followed him to another country, only to find him with yet another woman. In another, he had an affair with another cousin, the sister of his future wife. (They were cousins on both his father’s and mother’s side, so it probably ran in the family.) Sometimes he would even get his stepdaughter to deliver love notes to his mistresses. All in all, he had about ten affairs. The lesson here is, if you get famous, you can have ten mistresses too! Hopefully this article inspires you to high achievements on your finals.
