40: Given that my boyfriend pays for a lot of our shared expenses - I often wonder, 'Am I financially abusing him?'
I don't wonder it jokingly. He has shared with me that in the past, he experienced some financial abuse (including financial infidelity). I love my boyfriend and I respect his money. But, some of the behaviors he describes from his past sound a bit like the arrangement we currently have going on.
In this conversation, we dive into his experience, thoughts and perspective. SPOILER ALERT: he says I'M NOT financially abusing him.
Money can be complicated and having conversations around money can be even more so. Tune into this episode to be a fly on the wall of a real life insecurity of mine.
See you in the show!
