Marriage in general, is not easy. From your daily life of going to work, cleaning the house, cooking dinner, it can be hard to see eye-to-eye with someone you share everything with. Then you start raising children and tensions begin to grow where they hadn't been before. Now imagine traveling a lot and constantly being in the public eye. It's no wonder why celebrities have the hardest time making it work.
Pop star Pink has revealed what it's been like to be in her 11-year marriage with husband, Carey Hart, and she holds nothing back.
The singer, with the real name Alecia Moore, spoke honestly about her relationship with the former Motocross competitor and we are shocked about what came out of it.
The 38-year-old performer confessed that in spite of being on good terms at the moment, "there's been many moments where we've questioned everything' describing those moments as 'really f***ing hard."
Pink and Carey started dating in 2001, but broke up in 2003. They later married in 2006, but split again in 2008. They reunited in 2009 and have had many ups-and-downs ever since.
"I think when you've been together for a long time, it's inevitable that you will go through times that are really f***ing hard... there's been many moments where we've questioned everything. That's how we are," the You Make Me Sick singer said.
While their relationship has been tumultuous at times, the singer comes clean about her struggle with monogamy.
"Right now everything is good again. But any kind of long-term relationship is up and down, and you just take it day by day. Some days are like, 'I love you, you're wonderful'. And the next day you're like, 'I never liked you, there's nothing I like about you. I never want to see you again!'" she revealed.
Over the last six years, the couple have become parents to six-year-old Willow Sage and nine-month-old Jameson Moon.
After becoming a mother, Pink claims her temper has mellowed-out, but husband Carey still remains a hot-head.
"There are moments where I look at [Hart] and he is the most thoughtful, logical, constant ... he's like a rock. He's a good man. He's a good dad. He's just the kind of dad I thought he'd be and then some. And then I'll look at him and go: I've never liked you. There's nothing I like about you. We have nothing in common. I don't like any of the shit you like. I don't ever wanna see you again. Then two weeks later I'm like, things are going so good, you guys," she says. "Then you'll go through times when you haven't had sex in a year. Is this bed death? Is this the end of it? Do I want him? Does he want me?" She takes a breath. "Monogamy is work! But you do the work and it's good again."
It's that back and fourth that has helped the award winning artist pen some of her biggest hits. So What and Just Give Me a Reason were written about Carey in her 2008 album, while The Truth About Love that came out in 2012 is heavily influenced by her husband.
The couple seems to make it through, with a flurry of social media posts praising eachother.
"Congrats to my bad ass wife @pink !!!!! She can do it all. Bad ass biker woman, amazing mother, best friend, and platinum selling artists! Congrats on the amazing album release today, and I can't wait to see you kick ass on Saturday Night Live tomorrow! Love you baby," Carey wrote.
"You, my dear, are incredible," she wrote to Hart in July in a sweet birthday post. "You're gorgeous inside and out (we know) -you're the good egg that never cracks."
