Solid advice with one exception: you may not be able to make a deal that makes your cofounder happy.
Even if you're as nice as you can be, make good, on promises, etc, you may still end up being "the bad guy." Emotion is the enemy of rational thinking and there's going to be a lot of emotion here given the commingling of your personal and business investments.
You have to evaluate your behavior on the clarity of your own conscience, not on the communicated perceptions of the other party.

- TeMPOraL 11y agoAgree with this strongly. If situation is that complex, both parties will have to go meta to resolve it - look at it from above, realize the tangled mess of emotions and expectations they're in and that no one wishes the other anything bad, that it's just hard to let go. In my experience, it's hard to go meta together, but if you can successfully communicate: "I'm on your side, lets ascend together and look at it from far above", you both win.
