Hi spal

Sounds like a difficult situation for sure. I guess what I have found through life is that when we haven't worked through our issues, we are kept in a place that is uncomfortable, worrying about what might be and just anxious.

I think you have to think through the possibilities...what would happen if you continued with your oral agreement? What would happen if you opted out? Best and worst case scenarios......in this way, you are then better prepared to make your decision and stick to it. Check the guilt at the door spal. You are allowed to do what you feel is best for you in any situation. Number 1 rule...take care of #1!!!

Speaking with an attorney is a great idea. Getting the legal aspects might help you calm down and feel better about your decision. Who's to say that this partner of yours can't find someone else to work with?? And the same goes for you too!

I wish you well spal....and I hope you feel better about things soon.

Hugssss
