I suggest that the reason for not being supportive is that your partner is feeling left out. It's the same with all "work discussion" where one partner simply doesn't understand the issues at all.
Find a way for your partner to contribute - be it company administration - creating graphics - or even running a couple of pages / blogs on your sites. This can easily be achieved with todays WYSIWYG software.
As they get into it - then you'll get a common understanding of the issues - and be able to discuss them as peers.My partner is fully supportive - but then she works in the business.
We've split some responsibilites and co-operate in some areas where an extra brain helps. For example ... I send out the invoices and chase the programs for payment - while she pays all our outgoing bills.
She's also great with graphics, while I'm the stats, selling and search engine optimisation sort of person.
Finally - work time can be tough - like Kaus I prefer late night, from 10pm to 2am ... while my partner is an early morning type 7am to midday. But we get from midday to 10pm together - 10 hours a day - which is much more than most couples - I think.
I bet that you'll quickly have a much better discussion about it all ... as an example - my partner just called up the stairs that Poker Brat (Phil Hellmuth) has made another final table - and shes blogging on it.
I could never have imagined that discussion 24 months ago ...
