I'm surprised only one person's mentioned the French lessons . Can't you give those up and spend that time with her? That way you're making a sacrifice without compromising your startup. Win-win. Unless your goals in life are to speak French and get rich. Alternatively, get her involved? Does she want to support you in your quest for wealth? Can you get her interested? One mistake I made with an ex was to not tell him what I was doing with my startup and starting to snap at him whenever he asked questions about what was going on; mostly this was due to fear of admitting failure to him later. My main advice - and this is coming from someone who's been a hacker's girlfriend, y'unnerstand - is talk to her. [edit in reply to edit] Well, if she's been involved and is walking away, doesn't that tell you something?
