**Fucking hubby’s friend for money**
I’m Lana. I’m twenty-three years old, and I’m married to Josh, who’s a bit older than me at thirty-two.
I met Josh when I was in uni when I started my part-time job at a clothing store. He was my supervisor at the time. We fell in love and got married, eventually.
It wasn’t easy, though.
Josh was what people considered a free spirit. He was a musician and was just passionate about life. It was easy to get sweep away with his enthusiasm and zest.
Suffice to say, my parents didn’t approve, but at the time, I was head over heels for him. I wanted to be with him forever, as far as I was concerned.
But then times got tough.
Two people working retail didn’t make a lot of money. Ever since the pandemic, our financial problems got worse. I had to drop out of uni- couldn’t afford the fees and I figured at the time that we were fine as long as we had each other.
I lost my job at the clothing store I worked at. Josh’s store had mass layoffs, but he managed to keep his job with reduced pay and longer hours.
