I noticed my husband had been coming home late from work a lot lately, always saying he had extra projects or meetings. Tonight, when he was late again, I decided to call his office just to check.
To my surprise, they told me he wasn’t there — and hadn’t been for two months. My heart sank when they said he’d been fired months ago. I couldn’t believe it. When he finally got home, I confronted him. But what he told me shook me to the core — he hadn’t been working at all. Instead, he’d been secretly taking out loans from his parents, friends, and even the bank just to keep up the appearance of going to work. Now, we were in serious debt, and he’d been hiding it from me the whole time.
