Hi.
So my wife wants me to sell half of my cryptos like right now. We invested early last year. She claims its half hers b/c I live in California and its half hers as community property. She didn't put any money into it it was my hard earn money that I had to risk.
I'm a long term investor in the tech and starting to do comfortable small responsible trades. No all in Yolo stuff just learning as I go and using small amounts.
She's fed up with our on paper loses in crypto losing a tad over half of our total max holdings since the bull run. She can't handle the volatility in a bear trend. She handled it much better in a bull run.
What should I do? Sell half to keep her happy despite i'll be selling in a bear market getting around halfway or close to Bottoms?
Should I do my best to fight back and force her to invest long term?
I tried my best to tell her think long term but it's not getting through to her. She's just very upset about our on paper losses. We argue over this a lot almost daily and I don't know what to do.
Any suggestions?
I'm going to be blunt with you. If you're asking this on a public forum, you have bigger issues at hand. First, she's probably cheated on you. Since if you're a man you're the one that would be making the decisions in the marriage, and she would respect you. When she's insisting on things and you're trying to convince her like a little girl, it means the balance of power in the relationship is with her. Almost always a woman will cheat when she has the power in a relationship.
The fact she'd bring up a card that she owns half of it all anyway under community property law just shows how utterly and completely she lacks respect for you. If I were in your shoes I'd give her half the crypto and half of everything else and file a divorce immediately. Do not marry again in America.
Not the advise you want to hear. It's the advise you need to hear though. She's either on board your fucking ship or the ship sinks. There should never be another option where she is the captain that is ever beneficial for you.
