My cofounder and I are remote now after having lived together for 2.5 years. I think a lot of remote first companies do this, but it only works based on a good working relationship. 99% of the time, a lot of folks will tell you it doesn't work, but you'll also find the bulk of companies aren't remote and can't get work done without an office in the first place. It really comes down to your working relationship with your cofounder rather than location. Honestly, your cofounder doesn't sound like someone I would want to ever work with. We both did what it takes and shared duties like that. That being said - your situation doesn't sound healthy in general. Working remotely without a proper structure or know how of what you're getting in to usually leads to bad professional relationships and strain. This is due to meetings happening in person and the other guy being "left out". Communication is the biggest problem and something you should know how to cope with in general if you're working remote. Your team doesn't seem to have the structure to manage this. I won't comment on what will be better or worse for your living situation, I am merely stating my observations relative to your situation. For context, my cofounder and I live in different countries, not just different cities. We make it work fine and have for the last few years.
