Excellent topic kaus!
When Robyn & I started dating this was my full time business, that and running a web dev company. She knew from the get go how it was.
Since moving down the coast & scoring the Fortune Lounge gig I've been the bread winner...Not a lot of work here, it's seasonal, so Robyn is officially a Lady of Leisure.
Back in Melbourne Robyn had a full time job, I think that combined with boredom has brought up some issues for her.
Although I've tried to explain I'm working this hard for us, I believe it is hard for Robyn to really understand why I just can't work the 9 - 5 normal business day. As I keep explaining I can't cram 15 hours of work into 8 hours...Plus I have to be on deck at 11pm because that's their daytime.
Apart from working & doing the cooking I don't have to do anything else. She's happy to take care of the house and the domestic stuff.
I've fortunately scored some more work, a min of two web dev jobs a month, so I've decided to get Robyn involved. I'm shocking at bookwork, tax and all that stuff. Whereas she's a qualified booker keeper.
Maybe with her involvement in that side of things, that will give her some hands on insight into the business.
Bottom line...Robyn is supportive, I really couldn't ask for anyone better in my life, sure we have our little spats...but...on the flip side, the best part is making up
Cheers
