And so it's a breach of trust like sexual infidelity is.

But the fact that we call it financial infidelity does not really put it in the same category as sexual infidelity.

Sexual infidelity is much more traumatic.

Both are a breach of trust.

One is a less traumatic breach of trust.

But we use the term to describe the fact that it's a breach of trust.

Another term that we use around here is financial abuse.

Probably...

not accurate a lot.

Okay.

Abuse is like domestic violence.

When someone's beating the crap out of their spouse, that's real abuse.

Okay.

So financial abuse where you don't have access to the numbers is not as traumatic as actual abuse.

And so when we use the term financial abuse, it's not

real abuse.

It's a descriptive term to say, you know, you're in a situation where you're not being treated right.

That's different than abuse.

But in our culture today overall, we have taken some of these words and we've used them so flippantly that we forgot what they actually mean.

And so anytime I disagree with someone, I call them a narcissist.
