Self-obsessed is when somebody cares more about themself than other people. Selfish is being greedy, or hording something, money for instance. These two are very different.

Actually, I would think they are generally the same. To me when a person is selfish they are also self obsessed and vice verse. There is such a wide range of things that one can be selfish or obsessed about and the question was the difference between self-obsessed so the answer is nothing. A selfish person is "selfish" and a "self" obsessed person is "selfish". To me they are the same thing. Its anything that has to do with that person that's usually what rules their world. These type people are also greedy, very needy, attention seekers and usually extremely narcissistic.

A self-obsessed person is overly focused on themselves, constantly seeking validation and attention. A selfish person, on the other hand, prioritizes their own needs and desires above others, often at the expense of those around them.

How do you tell the difference between someone who is monetarily abused by their spouse and someone who is just greedy and selfish?

Wow, I have never heard of this abuse before, but I will try to answer the question. You do not tell a difference because there is none. Why even put an "abuse" label on it? A person who is greedy and selfish is going to spend the money on themselves regardless of their spouse's needs, causing the spouse to go without. I suppose it would then be sensible to label it "monetary abuse," but I would just leave it as being married to a greedy and selfish person.
