Scenario

When couples face financial crisis with different coping styles

My partner and I both lost our jobs within three months of each other and we're handling the financial stress completely differently — they want to talk through every decision and contingency plan while I need space to process before I can problem-solve. We're starting to take each other's coping styles personally.

More people experience this than they realize.
