Maybe try explaining that selling your BTC (or any asset for that matter) to pay for living expenses is a short term solution to a long term problem, only way to fix the problem is to increase income or reduce expenditure, think about it, what will you do when your BTC runs out.

reduce expenditure!

that is all that need to happen. no more fucking 50$ baby toys (we have enough hand me downs....) and 5.75$ coffees, we have a coffee machine ( a fucked nice one too she bought it! stupid thing only make 1 coffee at a time -_- )

Never let a woman within 10 feet of your credit card.

A woman with a credit card is as dangerous as a bird with a machine gun.

LOL, my wife used to have a credit card on my account. When they sent us new ones with the chip / pin card feature, I just didn't activate her card and told her to get her own issued to her. She has bad credit due to stupid ass decisions, so she can't.

she gave up her job to be a stay at home mom for a few years while the kids grow up. ( second and final kid, is now 1 month, in 1 year or so she'll get a job and money wont be so tight anymore)
but for now its come down to that, cutting her off the VISA so we don't loss the house! and bitcoins...

Cut the card(s), cash in the BTC to cover the debt. Whatever gain you expect is weighed down right now with the certainty of retardedly high credit card debt.

Start hiding your money and cut the cards. ASAP.

Her telling you "she knows where the coins are" sounds to me shes not afraid to log on to your pc and figure out a way to get scammed, or turn them into cash.

Those are serious warning signs my friend.

I get mad and I YELL! ...she spends MORE! and tells me " cash in your stupid bitcoin " omg NOT MY BITCOIN PLEASE ANYTHING BUT NOT MY BITCOINS!

just tell her they got hacked and they are long gone. then a couple years from now surprise her.

in all seriousness, this is a problem that nearly all couples face. sitting down and working out a budget and tracking how you progress against it monthly is a necessary way to foster the communications that need to happen.

bitcoins probably shouldn't be your only reserve either.

i just told her that, she said " I know where your bitcoins are, i know you didn't lose them, you think I'm stupid?"

LOL!

Obviously your partner has an broblems.

Haveyou tried communicating your worries withyour partner, friends or family?

I keep telling here, "we have no money!", "we have no money!", she says she needs the VISA to get food, ok cool get some food... she comes back with supper and 50$ baby toy.

WE HAVE A MILLION BABY TOYS!
WE HAVE NO MONEY!

I get mad and I YELL! ...she spends MORE! and tells me " cash in your stupid bitcoin " omg NOT MY BITCOIN PLEASE ANYTHING BUT NOT MY BITCOINS!

i exaggerate but you get the picture ...

Cut the credit cards. You've been broke for a while.

You need to monitor your partner's expenses, and I mean every penny must be scrutinized, make your bartner unnerstand she has an broblems.

She's trying to buy happiness, this is not good

Ummmm.....talk to her?

Financial expectations need to be clear to both people in a marraige. Obviously there is a miscommunication somewhere.

Hamster ate my bitcoin

Play her at her own game. Buy a fake Rolex watch or something and pretend it's real. Then say "You know you're right, we only live once, so I'm going to start indulging myself".

You could ask her to go to one of those Dave Ramsey thingies.
