Here is alist compiled by the German physicist in 1914 directed at Mileva (the two werealready married at the time): "CONDITIONS A. It is up to youto ensure that: My clothes arealways clean and in order; I receive my threemeals normally in my rooms ; That my room andoffice are always well-kept and, above all, that my desk is used only by me .

D. You will undertake not to belittle me, in word ordeed, in front of our children.” The list was oneof several Einstein documents found in 1986, 31 years after the scientist'sdeath (the abovetranslation came from the book Extraordinary Lists, by Shaun Usher).
