Albert Einstein, who laid down major fundamentals in physics, may have starved his wife of sex by demanding her to obey a cruel list of rules, a new book has claimed.
According to the book, titled Einstein: His Life and Universe, the scientist barred his wife Mileva Maric from sitting with him or going out together — and even ordered — “Stop talking to me if I request it.”
And, Einstein, famous for his theory of general relativity, made clear that sex was a no-no: “You will not expect intimacy from me,” the Sun reported.
The cruel list of rules, revealed in the book, insisted his wife tidied his study, did his laundry regularly and gave him “three meals regularly”.
They were his conditions for them staying together for the sake of sons Hans and Eduard as their 11-year marriage foundered in 1914.
But, within months his fed-up Serbian missus, 39, fled Berlin, Germany, with the kids for Zurich, Switzerland, and had a breakdown.
They divorced in 1919. Einstein, famed for his E=MC2 theory, later wed cousin Elsa and died in 1955, aged 76.
