Thanks for great advice. I guess I still believe that if we divorce that I can still can get the business even it she interferes. It would be real ugly though. Tried suggesting a business mediator, but she won't go for that. I suggested that I leave the biz to save the marriage but my first step at leaving, making her president was shortly followed with her asking me to move out, then getting an attorney. Some progess.
I know she doesn't want to lose the business and she wants to support the employees, so I need to figure out how to give up control yet still steer the business since she refuses to work from the office, an imperative for one of us, and she won't think about business planning beyond the first 3 of 44 projects in our current business plan. I registered for a tradeshow which I thought we had agreed on, and I was accused of draining the bank accounts; hardly.
Agreeing with her - I can do that. Parroting, trusting, valuing, yes. Giving up control is going to be the trick. Wonder if I can leverage the employees on that one? How to run a business without being in control. My conundrum. Any reading or advise out there from the community? Exasperatingly so, CanChange
