Shayna's husband and the manager of a successful furniture store. He prefers quick, hurried intimacy with his wife and is sometimes distant, which causes Shayna discomfort.

Billie's husband and a salesman at Grant's furniture store. He still gets jealous about a possible affair from years ago and secretly feels he should have received the manager promotion that Grant got. He is more excitable than Billie.
A haughty, on-edge psychiatrist whose comments are often sarcastic and insulting, though her unpleasant attitude may stem from inner pain. She is now the primary earner in the family.
