On the other hand I think it's important for leaving to be normalized and accepted as an option. In my previous startup there were an increasing number of irreconcilable differences between me and my then-cofounder's style of working, management, and doing business, and though we had tried a lot I don't think me being egged on by everyone in the system to stay in the company while depressed about it was helpful. The reality is cofounders can leave (legally) and we already have a perfectly good structure (vesting schedule) to deal with such decisions fairly, we just need to normalize it actually happening when it needs to happen.
