Thanks for the input. Glad to hear from someone who can sympathize with my situation.
I honestly think this is a factor of COVID...for the last year we've been cooped up working together and living together 24/7. After nearly going completely broke four years ago I have an extreme aversion to spending money, which she seems to be less concerned by. But that's sometimes the only way to get ahead in a business. I always penny pinch and try to do things on my own. As a result I overstretch myself and end up getting very little done (I also have ADHD). But she takes it as my lack of a desire to help her.
Yesterday I told her that I support her, but have an extreme fear of going broke because of my previous traumas. I think now we're more on the same page.
Still though, I'm extremely exhausted today. Hopefully at some point things will slow down even for a brief time. I think the change in the presidential administration will help. The last four years have felt like a giant knee on my neck, and now we're returning back to some level of normalcy. The news headlines are somewhat humdrum and boring. And that's just the way I like it. The last four years were an interminable reality show; that's not bearable.
Anyway, thanks again Open Eyes
