Mark called that routine financing.

I asked him to show me the loan documents; he said I was undermining his confidence.

For months I tried to solve problems he refused to admit existed.

I moved money into our shared household account when utility bills were due.

I covered Tommy’s school expenses from my salary.

I postponed replacing my unreliable car and bought groceries at the discount store rather than the market near our neighborhood.

Meanwhile, Mark arrived home with a new watch and spoke casually about impressing investors.
