When couples can't align on saving discipline for shared goals

My partner and I agreed to save for a house down payment but they keep making small purchases that feel innocent individually but add up to hundreds each month and I've started secretly moving money into accounts they can't access and we both know something is wrong but neither of us will name it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that their different relationships with immediate gratification are undermining both their financial goal and their trust in each other.
