Financial infidelity is when someone withholds, lies about, or hides financial information or behaviors from a partner.

Many people may not realize that lying about money to a partner “counts” as cheating.

Even seemingly “small” money lies can snowball into bigger issues over time, including racking up debt, falling behind on financial goals, and straining communication within the relationship.

“As I often tell clients: You are not your debt, and you are not your mistakes,” Astle said. “Repair is possible with honesty, accountability, and the right support.”.
