her reasoning for flipping out was that it made her "anxious" that i was "gambling". at the time we didn't have much cash between us and she hated that i had "secrets"; that we weren't actually as bad off as we thought. talked about that i don't value her feelings as much as our finances.

at the time that made sense. did i get manipulated? i do love her desu but i also love +EV. for the record she doesn't use my money but we split all the bills and living costs 50/50

Never ever trust a woman when it comes to finance and risk. Woman are fundamentally risk averse because they are no good at quantifying, therefore no good at quantifying risk. They understand concepts such as "more" or "less" but they just can't quantify it. Hence why many middle to low IQ women make poor life choices. They understand risk but just have no way of being able to abstract it.

You're probably in your 20s or early 30s, still aren't married and without children. It's the only period of your life you will ever be able to take financial risk and "gamble" since you have 30 decades to get back on your feet if you lose everything.

Women will always discourage risk taking because it's in their nature, especially if she sees you as her long term provider (and so feel entitled to your capital), don't listen to them.

You fucked up so hard. I'm sorry man but you can't fix it with her, you need to start over you already lost her respect. I can't believe you let her tell you what to do with your money. You should have literally told her to shut the fuck up.

How are men like this nowadays stand your ground. She knows you are afraid to lose her and subconsciously she will get increasingly worse as time passes. I'd show her the price now and break up with her. Don't say its about the money and its the fact that she didn't trust you or believe you'd succeed.

The problem is you seem kind of pathetic(not being mean honestly you let her convince you to buy high and sell low with money YOU wasted your YOUR time for; truly meant for /biz) so Idk if you can get another girl or will just wallow in misery when you are alone. I wouldn't have made such a big deal about this but I basically did the inverse of your post and now I have 6 figures but no girlfriend anymore. She never told me to sell but she was concerned all the time and it got old hearing after I told her to let it go while I DCA'ed in every month. She feels entitled to your money and it doesn't work that way.

OP. Women dont understand money. They understand getting pregnant and having kids. They see you as a way to achieve that and help support to raise them. The fact she questioned your investment means she questioned your ability to support future kids. You saw link for what it was - power and you couldnt hold onto it as you give more power to a woman than to yourself.
Tl;dr dont listen to a woman for financial advice.

Mate just turn the situation around. Imagine if you found out your woman invested some money in something. You wouldn't give a fuck. I seriously recommend finding a better partner because I can imagine ever other aspect of your relationship is following a similar template. You need to be firm and resolute in your beliefs.

I was the same age when I started buying and the issue arose. I just turned 26. I'm 30 now and I bet you will make a lot more than I did at the time. I was routinely working 50 hours a week to earn as much as possible to dump into LINK. You can still make it, its all relative but you have to be focused and have a game plan. I was down 40% at one point from basis and just kept averaging down.

I followed the breadcrumbs since 2017 and realized the team was one of a kind and that it takes time for the market to properly value something. It looks so obvious to you and me but it doesn't work that way to the masses. We don't really need retail buying institutions will pump this for us anyway.

I'll make it this next bullrun but if you can get even 3000 you will make it by time you are 30 I'd say.
