He took a look at what life was like at the start of Steve’s career and discussed his relationships with other NFL wives and girlfriends during that time. She said interacting with them was like any other job where she hung out with the people she liked and avoided the people she didn’t like. But there was at least one thing that stood out.
«It’s interesting, you know, a lot of them are resentful just because I think they gave up whatever career and life they had for their husband to go through with this,» Hutchinson said on the podcast. «But in my mind, I was given a position and I fell in love with a wonderful man who turned out to be very good at what he did and I took that as my job.
«So my job became: I’m going to be the best wife, I’m going to keep fit, I’m going to run a great house, I’m going to have beautiful children.» that… Here’s the thing, I’m a 50’s wife at heart. No one can take that away from me. I wanted to dine around the table… I honestly think it’s a lost art.
