and then
Honestly, I waited too long to deal with it. My partner was passive-aggressive, unpredictable, and constantly undermining me — but I kept telling myself, “It’s just a rough patch.” Big mistake. What finally turned things around was setting boundaries and putting everything in writing. I stopped engaging in arguments and started using email for every key decision. I also brought in a neutral third party — not a lawyer right away, but a business advisor we both respected. It didn’t fix the relationship, but it gave us a structure to work in — and that kept the business from falling apart. Don’t wait till it’s unbearable. Document everything and protect yourself early.
