Stacy Schiff And Marc de La Bruyère Have Had A Commuter Marriage

Stacy Schiff and March de La Bruyère are living a commuter marriage And the person who commutes is he.

As their kids attended schools in the United States, she's always been in the US during the school year. Then, during the summer and winter breaks, when she writes a ton, they move to Canada. 

Stacy worked on her book about Vera Nabokov's marriage for five years, but right now, her own domestic situation worries her.
She referred to her married life as bizarre in one of her interviews. 

She cheerfully mentioned in an interview with NYTimes, that he spends roughly 10 days in New York each month. 

Ms. Schiff and the kids go to Canada with him during the summer and during school breaks. The interview was conducted in the 2000s, so circumstances may have changed since then.

Schiff lives in New York with her family and her partner lives in Canada. She once tried leaving New York for Marc but she couldn't.

In an increasing comic riff, Ms. Schiff says, "I once did and I only lasted around a year."

She mentioned that she always had a good explanation for not moving to Edmonton such as her agent being five blocks away, and the kids attending school nearby. 

Furthermore, she is not a fan of the bitter cold of Canada. Schiff feels like it is at the very end of the world, very dark, similar to the Arctic Circle.

Thus, the family moves from one country to another to maintain their marriage.
