13. Im dumb with money and hes making me feel worse
b'A few years ago, Adam spent nine months aggressively paying off $75,000 in debt. He loved it. It gave him a purpose and he was happy to work seven days a week to pay it off quickly.\\nHis girlfriend, Elizabeth, has debt, but she isn\\u2019t excited by paying it off. Instead, she feels trapped, describing herself as \\u201cdumb\\u201d with money. (Notice the words she uses to describe herself and her debt: \\u201cdisgusting,\\u201d \\u201cbad,\\u201d and \\u201cstupid.\\u201d)\\nAdam\\u2019s aggressive approach of constantly talking about money isn\\u2019t working. Even though he wants to help, she craves emotional security and support. At one point, as Adam is about to go into yet another long monologue, I cut him off.\\xa0\\nSometimes, what worked for you doesn\\u2019t work for your partner.
