In the digital age we find ourselves in, there can be a great many ways to cheat on a significant other. The new one to add to the list is “cheating by tweeting,” which according to former White House Press Secretary Kellyanne Conway, is when your spouse rage tweets your boss.

Conway is among the growing number of Donald Trump White House officials dropping books recently, with her memoir Here’s the Deal releasing on May 24 from Simon & Schuster.

In an excerpt published on Thursday by People, Conway got rather deep into her marriage with lawyer and commentator George Conway, a relationship that has already been fairly public thanks to the former’s previous position in the White House and her husband’s very public disliking of Trump.

According to Kellyanne Conway, Mr. Conway was breaking his marriage vows with his growing addiction to blasting the Trump during her time working in his administration, from 2017 to 2020.

Conway claims in the excerpt that her husband’s tweets may have been fueled by the fact that she was in Washington D.C. while he was alone in their New Jersey home. She referred to his Trump tweets as a new fling in place of her, and Conway says she just couldn’t compete. She wrote:

George was spending chunks of time in New York at the firm, where he voluntarily went from partner to an of-counsel role, spending his nights alone at our house in Alpine, New Jersey, 240 miles away from D.C. The numbers don’t lie. During this time, the frequency and ferocity of his tweets accelerated. Clearly he was cheating by tweeting. I was having a hard time competing with his new fling.

The “cheating by tweeting” violated their marriage vows, Conway wrote.

“His daily deluge of insults-by-tweet against my boss — or, as he put it sometimes, ‘the people in the White House’ — violated our marriage vows to ‘love, honor, and cherish’ each other,” the excerpt reads.

Conway went on to say the media attention her husband received as a “Never Trumper” was “irresistible” to him, though she took issue with his public criticism of the administration she was a key and recognizable figure in.

Conway said she found support from the president’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, who recommended couples therapists for the two, though the Conways never made it.

“He spent his time exactly how he wanted to. If it was important to him, he would have made it happen. Ivanka and I certainly had one thing in common now: Both Jared [Kushner] and George were often referred to as ‘husband of . . .,” she wrote.

Donald Trump has referred to the husband of his former press secretary as a “total loser.” In a statement issued last month, he called Conway a “very sick man” who has been “destroyed” by his wife.

“I don’t know what Kellyanne did to him, but it must have been really bad. She has totally destroyed this guy ― his mind is completely shot,” the former president wrote.
