The Couple That Couldn't Align

Shannon makes $5,200 a month as a general manager in St. Louis. Her husband Tanner, 38, calls himself an entrepreneur—currently running a small security operation with a couple of 1099 contractors. But the numbers tell a different story: his security work, drumming gigs, and occasional film projects bring in somewhere between $600 and $900 a month, inconsistently. They have two kids (her biological children, which Tanner pointed out twice in the first ten minutes), and they're eight years into a marriage built on a promise that keeps getting extended.

The agreement was simple before they married: Tanner would get five years to build his film and acting career. Then COVID hit, and Shannon gave him three more. That extended clock runs out in about four months. And Tanner has already told her plainly: "I'm not gonna go work at a 9-to-5."
