5 Reasons Why Financial Issues Should be Avoided in a Relationship
4. It hinders future plans
If you and your partner have financial issues, then sooner or later, they will start affecting your future plans. You might keep delaying your marriage plans or holiday plans because of not having enough money. And in case you are already married, then you may keep postponing your plans of having children. Now what could be worse is that one partner may be compromising on these future plans because of the other person’s debts, and hence, it could create a lot of issues between you two.
5. It affects your personal favors
There will be times that your sister might have lost her job or your brother might have met with an accident, and you would want to give some of your own money to them to reduce their stress. But your husband might question why exactly you’re doing this when technically you’re supposed to be saving that money for paying off his loans or funding your vacation together. In a nutshell, when you don’t have financial stress, these little personal favors you do to your extended family will not pinch him so much. But when you have a lot of financial stress, it will start affecting your personal decisions on where all you can or should spend your money.
Financial issues can make things quite bitter between two people, and can affect their lives very badly. It’s best to avoid them, as under stress and anger, any one of you can end up saying harsh words that might ruin your bond. So always work in a mutually comfortable fashion to reduce debts and focus on savings, such that you are both happy and at peace.
