My husband completely clueless that I make $4.2 million a year….

Ownership review.

“How did you explain the house purchase to your lawyer?” I asked.

“Exactly how it’s written on the deed.”

“And the down payment?”

“That was your savings,” he replied.

“That wasn’t savings,” I said quietly. “That was my compensation.”

He laughed weakly. “Compensation for what? Consulting?”

“I’m a senior executive partner at a private equity firm,” I said. “Last year I earned $4.2 million.”

Silence swallowed the line.

“That’s not funny.”
