When couples can't agree on budget priorities without conflict

My partner and I keep having the same fight about money every month when we try to plan our budget and neither of us wants to be the one who says we can't afford something the other person wants. We've been living paycheck to paycheck for two years because we can't have an honest conversation about what we actually have versus what we wish we could spend.
