How do you make being in love with your business partner work out?

Question

I have fallen in love with my business partner. We have even after a year and a half finally shared a few nights together. He's scared to let it go farther because of the business. I want more. Now what?

Here's the thing. We have never just been about business only. We have shared our souls durring this exausting business process. Have been partners in every thing except intimatly. Since the intimacy we handle business durring business and don't let feelings dictate decisions.

Sufice it to say we have handled it very well. Yesterday tho, he called it just sex and now I am lost. I'll continue on with the business but I can't help but to think he's scared and testing to see if I'll bolt or get crazy on him.

I need articles, documented proof if possible along with advise that will show him if we handle it right we can be in love and make our business everything we have dreamed of.

Please help. ack! lol

Answer 1

Mixing business and personal lives is very risky. If things don't work out in the personal relationship, the business relationship could suffer. Some people can make it work while others may not. It is important to keep the two relationships, business and personal, separate, if you decide to pursue the personal side of the relationship.

Answer 2

you are asking for trouble.
it depends on where you both stand, the fact that your partner is scared to let it go farther because of the business is an indicator of where his intrest is focused on primarily.

unless you are both completely confident and willing to work through all kinds of emotional/business/hard to tell where to draw the lines sort of issues don't do it.

Answer 3

never mix the business with the pleasure. if it belongs in the bed it stays in the bed. if it belongs in the business it stays in the business.

you kinda get what im saying here.
