The former first lady has not accompanied her husband to several high-profile events including Donald Trump's inauguration and the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter fuelling speculation that they might be separating.
Mrs Obama says that she was now in a position to control her own calendar as a grown woman.
She says that people were not able to believe that she was making a decision for herself and instead had to assume that her husband and her are divorcing.
Mrs Obama shared that she felt some guilt for stepping back from certain duties.
She says so much so that this year people couldn't even fathom that she was making a choice for herself that they had to assume that my husband and her are divorcing.
Her absence from President Trump's inauguration was seen as a break from tradition.
The Obamas celebrated their 32nd anniversary last year in October.
