i think that unless your planning to be married, it might get real complicated if you split. however, i love my wife but would never work with her.

My Grandparents started a company 36 years ago. It is a successful company now worth millions. You have to learn to separate business and pleasure. For example, only discuss business at the office, not over the dinner table. Otherwise, you will both end up stressed and frustrated. Plus, always put everything in writing. Make a partnership agreement. You can never be too safe.
You should consider the fact that you two will be bound together on a professional level, even if you break up.
P.S. My Grandparents have been happily married for over 50 years. :o)

Be careful, you do not really know someone until you live or work with them. When it comes to money you will be surprised how fast people change. I am always disappointed the way people change when it comes to money. I try to learn this lesson but somewhere along the lines you will see people for who they really are, It is sad. I remove myself from them immediately. Remember business partners is like a marriage, it is not easy to walk away.
Think this over very carefully. In the end you will do what you think is best for you. Try to think with your head not your heart.

That all depends on what kind of commitment you have between you. My husband and I work very well together and I would have been his business partner if the opportunity was there to do something like that but committing to a business might be taking your relationship to the next level. It's best to ask yourself and possibly him if your relationship is ready for that kind of commitment...

worst idea ever, i know at the beginning you'll say that you will separate your business from your relationship, and it may be like that at the beginning, but with time it will start to affect your relationship, imagine your bf is not doing things well, and you have to tell him, you have to make him know, how do you think he will respond to that? i think in a long term, its a bad idea, but hey, maybe you are different

Depending on the business and as long as both of you put in equally the amount of work and money.

cliche: never mix business with pleasure.
reality: it really depends on the individuals. if you do go into business together, make sure both person's interests are protected. talking to a lawyer is must.

No ways!
The best way to screw up a good thing (if that's what you have), is to bring money and career stresses into it.
Work apart, this will allow you to enjoy the time together.

no unless you have a contract defining the business relationship, percentages and all terms and conditions including desolving the business.

Why would it be a bad thing. You would be together more and you could work together when you get home. You can help each other out.

I work with my husband. You just have to remember that you are co-workers when you are on the job, and then you can be husband and wife when you get home.
