> If your business fails, its not entangled with the relationship That is simply false, based on direct personal experience, and observations of other people close to me. For example, I know a guy who co-founded a company. His co-founder got divorced, and his wife (not involved in the company in any way) got a slice of the company as partial divorce settlement. My own experience was co-founding a company where my wife was not, on paper, 'involved'. But she was an invaluable source of support, advice and motivation. Perhaps to ask this question differently: how do you think it's possible to have a significant relationship with someone, while completely excluding them from the other most important endeavour in your life?
