RACHEL MADDOW AND SUSAN MIKULA – 21 YEARS
Rachel Maddow and Susan Mikula have been together for 21 years. They first met in 1999. At the time, Maddow was busy working on her dissertation for her doctoral degree. However, Mikula hired Maddow to tend in her yard. From here, the rest was history as they started going on dates and eventually ended up being partners.
Despite being successful, Maddow has been open about her depression. She gave her heartfelt gratitude to her partner for being by her side and pulling her out of her suicidal feelings. Mikula acknowledged that Maddow was depressed, but she always assured her that what she felt would pass and leave, and everything would be alright. Clearly, with proper communication with your partner, you could overcome all the problems that would come along their way. Since they have each other, there was no need for us to be worried on how their relationship would become.
