Is your professional success doing anything to improve H's attitude?
Ummm...probably more so when I start actually making a profit. Right now, I'm still in the red. My starting costs were pretty mild, however, and I do expect to finish the year with a profit of some sort. A year from now, my income should be fine.

Is there any chance that the investors will pick someone who H would like to see as CEO?
We'll know tomorrow; odds are 50:50 they'll either keep the current CEO, or they'll pick the guy my H refuses to work under. If they pick the other guy, H will quit tomorrow. If they keep the current CEO, H will still leave by the end of the year unless the other guy is effectively neutralized. H will only stay long-term if some pretty radical changes happen.

Has he spoken to anyone back at his old job about returning?
Yes, he has a lunch planned this week. Depending on the day, H either wants to return to his old job, start a new company, or buy property in Nicaragua and become an innkeeper!!! I tried pointing out to him that A) we need him to bring in an income and B) I'm not starting a practice just to leave for Nicaragua in a year!
Besides, he'll just have to wait on his new MLC until I'm actually earning an income and until our D has finished college (since he got her interested in a very pricey private college that she now has her heart set on attending).
I hate it when he comes up with these things that are TOTALLY not economically feasible, then makes ME be the bad guy who has to point that out. We're already in the hole from the paycut he took to join this startup.
Overall, though, I think he's just gotten so tired of the politics and the workload of this startup that if he went back to his old job, the aggravations there would seem mild by comparison.
Oh - and Joe - re: your post on your thread - DOLLMAKING???? You DEFINITELY have to guard against giving up too much of yourself in your next R. (Of course, you could probably find a woman with very similar interests if you came out here to ComicCon!) Hmmmm... a novel set at ComicCon - what do you think?
