The year-old father, who has served 23 years in the Navy, been recognized for valor, and volunteers his time to help special needs kids, has been married to the same woman for 13 years. Add to that the tension no doubt caused by knowing that your spouse is having sex β publicly β with other people, and it seems like there is much stacked against this couple. Jade said that she and Schmidt have been able to stay together for the same reasons as couples in other enduring marriages.
Are they going to be completely normal? Jade said she worked in the adult entertainment industry before she and Schmidt were married. She left the industry when they got serious and went back to school, earning a nursing degree. At the height of the real estate rush, they attended a seminar to learn how to make money in real estate. Jade decided to get a real estate license, too. The couple began buying properties just before the housing market crashed in The housing market crash destroyed their real estate plans.
With more funds going out than coming it, they were hemorrhaging money. Like many military couples, Jade and Schmidt worried that their mounting debt would cause him to lose his security clearance. If that happened he would lose his job. Jade said she knew from past experience that she could make a lot of money fast by appearing in adult films. The money she earned gave the couple the financial breathing room they needed, but they still had the mortgages and credit card debt to pay.
By the time they filed bankruptcy Schmidt and Jade owed over a million dollars and the bankruptcy meant they lost all of their property. In the midst of everything, Jade learned that she was pregnant and that her mother had a cancerous brain tumor and just six months to live. Jade had already lost her father to cancer several years earlier and was determined to use her nursing degree to take care of her mother.
Each time she tried to work a normal job, she was recognized by a fan. Jade got back into adult entertainment and, rather than pay a male actor to appear with her on her website and in her own films, she recruited Schmidt to join her. But a lot of them are really just normal womenβwith saggy thighs and flat chestsβand men are attracted to those women.
