When couples model bad financial habits for each other

My partner and I are both trying to change our spending habits and we keep copying each other's worst impulses instead of our good ones. When one of us impulse buys something, the other somehow feels permission to do the same, and we're stuck in this loop where we're learning the wrong lessons from watching each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people attempting behavioral change are inadvertently reinforcing each other's unwanted patterns through unconscious modeling.
