Hey, new twist in the story.

My boss decided after a month of knowing about our relationship, that we are no longer allowed to see each other, or one of us has to quit! We've been completely professional, and it's a small company and everyone (except him it seems) is very happy for us.

We are the two most dedicated employees to this company, and my boss I considered a friend.

So, drama continues...

Forgot to update this. My boss had her train 5 possible replacements, couldn't find anyone that could do nearly the job that she does, so he reluctantly "allowed" her to stay. Since then, my position of being #2 in the company has slid to the point where there are trust issues, etc., although the things that I do, he readily acknowledges that he couldn't replace, he would just have to reorganize how his business runs.

So, pending final details being worked out, she and I are quitting our jobs and going to work for one of our competitors. This competitor wants us bad enough, that he is willing to allow us to set up a location where we are (since I can't move because of my son) and run all sales/customer service etc. through our office, and order fulfillment through theirs. In addition, we're looking at a bare minimum of a 25% raise, before commissions. On top of that, instead of driving 30 miles to work, we can walk to work!

The problem though, is that I feel their products aren't as good, and it's going to be tough to do what I do without changing a bunch of things around. In addition, my title will be CEO, so basically everything, good or bad, is now on my shoulders. At least it will be just her and I in the office, and we work so well together. Her strengths are my weaknesses, and vice versa.

So, aside from possibly being Bipolar, and the stress of having 6 people depending on my abilities to turn around a competitor, things are looking up!
