We were newly married at 19 and just moved into a nice little place. We were very happy with everything being newly married and loved finally have something to ourselves. The only problem was we didn’t budget correctly and our expenses were a lot higher than we expected. It got to the point where we had to decide between rent and food. I told my husband that I’d talk with our landlord and see if we could come to an “agreement”. He knew exactly what I meant and hesitated before agreeing.
We have had an open relationship because he isn’t able to satisfy my needs so being with someone else didn’t bother him it was the fact that in his mind I was having to whore myself because he wasn’t man enough to support us he told me later.
I call our landlord and he comes over when my husband is a work to talk. I tell him that we aren’t able to make rent and that I’d do my best to ” make it worth his while ” thank God he could read between the lines because it would have been embarrassing to just say it. He said that he would come over once a week in exchange we could live rent free.
