As a married guy with a startup, I am not sure I agree with this. It took my wife a long time to understand what the life of a founder is like and getting here there was equal parts work for both of us. I spent a lot of time and energy in pervious startups making sure she could see what was going on and why it was important. I also made sure she understood why the whole thing is important to me on a personal/life level. I don't think it's fair to say "she's selfish". She/he is probably more scared, a little jealous, and feeling un-engaged. There is no decent scenario for a founder where his/her partner supports them "blindly". If you come to know these people, "the other half", you'll probably see that it is the opposite of blind. They see and know everything that is going on and they work their ass off to make sure their husband/wife is still human through it all.
