At first I thought you were talking about a business partner, but after the comments I'm not so sure. If you're talking about marriage or something of a similar flavor, no but it came very close several times. It can be very frustrating for someone on the other side of the equation to take the answer "I don't know." to so many questions for so long. Some people abhor that reality, and while I am not one of them, I can understand where they're coming from, especially if there are other aspects of the equation (a mortgage, children, a mountain of outstanding debt). If you're talking about business partner, I would say certainly. My most recent venture folded up because within four months my (business) partner got engaged, started putting in about 1/2 of the hours needed to get the job done, and the abruptly moved two hours away. He's since found a day job and I'm ready to move on to something different. Sometimes, no matter how long you know someone, they change.
