Ya we're not divorcing or anything that serious. We just have total different approach to money that we have to both compromise on and work out.

For example

- I'll still a cheap ass and afraid to spend money b/c i rather invest with any left over money I have after a paycheck from work.. I'll still make my own lunch at work and eat a cup of noodle here and there b/c i refuse to pay 15 bucks for a meal

- I consider them numbers on the screen and not money just digital numbers and treat it more like a 401k

-She will consider it as real money that can be life changing and wants to cash out as soon as possible on any small gains.

- She will go to whole foods and buy an 8 dollar asparagus and i'll freak out on the $50 dollar wine bottles that I consider wasteful

-She considers what we both earn as community money therefore any crypto gains or losses is half hers. She's also a lawyer so she's a bit smarter then me but I'm more outside the box creative thinking

So far I"ve been in full control of the cryptos and she feels a bit left out in terms of control of when to take profit. It's a bit unfair to her but I feel she will panic sell and I will bag hodl till it goes to zero on certain coins

Ever since I sold 20 percent of my holdings in todays market things improved between me and her. She felt more relax now and less bossy, We can pay our taxes even if the market tanks more and have some left over. But this required me to off load half of my eth and bitcoin Sad

So you don't monitor her spending on asparagus and wine, but she monitors your spending in Crypto? Sounds very unequal to me.
If you need to cash out to take care of things like taxes, maybe you were too heavily invested n the first place and that's what has her worried, but she doesn't have a right to declare half of your investment as hers and tell you what to do with it. Your money is your money, at least until she takes you to divorce court.

I'm a woman and I don't get how you guys in countries with unfair divorce laws still marry.

Pet peeve: Divorce laws. Some of these laws need to be changed, if not, young men will stop marrying, get more irresponsible and the next generation will grow up in single parent homes and be totally dependent on the government.
