"I'm retired and have discovered a love for making bags, totes and purses with my sewing machine. A few years ago, I started doing local craft shows not because I've turned this into a business, but because it helps clear out the growing inventory. Financially, we're fine. I'm not risking money we don't have. My husband, who still works, strongly disapproves of this."
"As a result, I have greatly reduced contact with him as well as my entire family. When I explained how what he did made me feel and how it affected my life, my brother sort of apologized, but it wasn't genuine and during this fake apology, he mentioned he wanted his crypto back. Because I had had some financial difficulties, I couldn't give back the money."
A retired woman discovered a passion for making bags, totes and purses and began doing local craft shows to clear growing inventory. She and her household are financially secure and she is not risking money. Her working husband strongly disapproves, calls it a job and suggests discarding her creations, behavior that appears controlling when he dictates her free time. She feels torn between preserving peace and pursuing happiness and should not buckle under pressure. Separately, a woman who received a substantial cryptocurrency gift from her brother reduced contact after he betrayed trust and later asked for the crypto back despite no repayment agreement and her financial incapacity to return it.
