is this whole thing, with her scared to admit to her guy that she is not doing as well with her investments, a POWER and CONTROL thing?
I bet if the table were turned and HE was the one who had screwed up and she was the one who had made out by being in CDs, he would have felt like the chump and she would have probably forgiven him, but deep down she would probably glower that it was her superior female instincts that led her to this situation. She probably also would trust him less in the future on similar judgment calls.
I bet if she reports to her husband the situation, he will shrug it off, the markets ARE doing bad in case you haven't seen the papers. I also bet, he will NOT denigrate her in the future about her prowess.
Just calling out the potential gender dynamics at work here.
