Jen Wilson joins her partner Baroness Davidson on Beth Rigby's Electoral Dysfunction podcast where she describes how her life became "quite intense" when Ruth led the Scottish Conservatives.
Responding to the caller, Ruth adds: "And if you have a family, you'll have had a rhythm to that and that will have been completely interrupted, not just by four days a week in London and then coming back, but by what you have to do on the ground as an MP if she's going to do the job well, you cannot hold on to everything that you had before.
People come over to try and have big debates with them when you're out and about, we've definitely had people not really understanding that, interrupting a couple, having a nice candlelit dinner, to talk about constituency issues or potholes or the constitution, isn't exactly the right moment.
Baroness Harman, who was a Labour MP for 40 years and whose late husband Jack joined her in the Commons in 2010, says she had particular advice for "a man who is married to a woman MP".
"I knew life would be different, but I had no idea quite how different it would become," the caller adds.
