> It sounds like you are not 100% committed to the startup. Is "100% commitment" - in the sense of putting company before e.g. family - a necessary ingredient of a startup? Some people's 90% is worth more than other people's 100%, especially where domain knowledge is involved. There are even "lifestyle startups" in which none of the principals are devoting 100% to the company. Having been at ten startups, sometimes in leadership roles (though not a founder), I question the assumption that the problem here is with the "not 100% committed" founder. Maybe it's with the other founder's attitude that if they're putting in a certain effort then their partner must too - regardless of productivity, despite prior arrangements. That kind of attitude can turn into a race toward burnout, which is not good for anyone involved.
