Last year, my wife and I had a meeting with our tax advisor to discuss our tax returns. During the meeting, as my wife was providing some background information before asking a question, our tax advisor interrupted her, saying, "Yeah, that's a great story, but get to your point." My wife and I exchanged glances, bewildered by his abruptness. I was confused and thought his behavior was rude, but before I could fully process what was happening, the conversation had shifted to another topic. We concluded the meeting, and as we walked to the parking lot, I apologized to my wife for not standing up for her. I was upset with myself for not protecting her in that moment.
