Do you hide the trades that aren’t going well from your spouse and only show them the ones where you’re making money?
Are you a perpetual bull, or a perpetual bear when talking to your spouse?
Do you deluge your spouse with details about trading, until their eyes glaze over and they start looking feverishly around the room for a staple gun so they can staple themselves to death?
All of these issues may just mean that your spouse is just not that into you… as a trader. Work on your trading psychology before bombarding your spouse with your issues..
So often we barrage those we love with things that interest us – never stopping to wonder whether they’re as keen on the topic as we are. Take pity on your spouse. Give them a break. Find a trading friend to rave to, or you might just find yourself damaging your relationship.
