my partner of 6 years marriage has a few issues, she cannot have a financial planning session amicably, she will shout when it comes to her contribution to be increased for household expenses or savings. she also watches big boss, does such serial impact negatively the behavior. please suggest way out, as i feel i am not getting the right support.
Ans: Dear Y,
There seems to be a mismatch between the two of you in terms of value system in a marriage. It means that whatever the marriage stands on firmly is not agreed upon by both of you. Hence the foundation over a period of time becomes weak and can lead to unwanted skirmishes.
It's time to get your focus back onto the WHY of the marriage and HOW to set clear goals within it where you both function individually and as a couple.
Is it possible to do this without a professional stepping in?
Yes, with the information provided by you, it seems like it hasn't reached a point of breaking down but can be sorted by the two of you. Approach it without lashing out at one another and fault finding but instead resort to understanding the differences between the two of you and setting clear goals to rebuild the marriage.
All the best!
