Fretting Musician
My partner is a talented musician and I love listening to their music. We have a great relationship until the subject of finances comes up. Whenever I try to discuss bills or how we might budget, they withdraw and become moody. I’m feeling a lot of stress and pressure over this, and I feel guilty every time I bring this topic up. How can I best support my partner and still get them to help pay the bills?

I can help answer this question for you. Pick a time to discuss finances when both you and your partner are calm and able to have a focused conversation. Avoid bringing up the topic during moments of stress or tension. Allow your partner to share their thoughts and feelings about finances without interrupting or passing judgment. Create a safe space for them to express themselves openly, etc… Grab your online answers today!
