When couples disagree about what impact investing actually accomplishes

My spouse and I have been putting money into ESG funds for three years but we're realizing we have completely different ideas about what 'impact' actually means and whether we're just making ourselves feel better while getting mediocre returns. We keep having the same circular argument about values versus performance and neither of us wants to admit we might be wrong about something this important to our identity.
