One woman had recently spent two days at the salon transforming her hair from jet black to platinum blonde—a commitment in itself, let me tell you. The price tag, however, wasn’t something she seemed eager to share with her girlfriend, a paramedic working nights at the time. When partners aren’t on the same page about money, even seemingly isolated purchases can become much larger relationship issues. Rather, they start with secrets that undermine one partner’s trust in the other. Because this wasn’t simply about the poster not approving of the platinum blonde or just a simple disagreement over spending priorities.
