James Altucher has some sage advice for founder types. Definitely worth your time to check out his blog. I'm on my second marriage. (First one went 20 years.) I was very clear about my values regarding money and work with my second wife. I fulfilled every vision of the man she was looking for except one. She expected a professional or business man who put on a suit and tie and went to work every day at an office with a steady paycheck. Ties are for weddings and funerals, maybe. I constructed my post-divorce life (my financial needs are minimal) so I wouldn't need a dependable paycheck. And I love living that way. Which is one of the reasons I can and love to take on short term projects. Not needing regular income makes all the difference. At this stage of my life (turning 50 next year) having to give up that freedom would be reason enough to leave. Assuming of course reasonable compromises or adjustments and a family therapist didn't help. Your life. Knowing yourself and how you want to spend your time on this planet is very, very important.
