Good questions:

1. For years she has been the graphics person, worked from home. I ran the business, made all the decisions, got her approval on the major ones, got her input on anything design and graphics related.
2. I work at the office and run the show. Have for 10+ years. I'm a go getter. She decided my personality is too driving for her.
3. Not living together. Legal separation, 1 yr from finalization.
5. Besides work, she gets heated on any issues related to separation, career, items that bring up past episodes of my disrespect to her. Disrespect has grown to mean anytime that I did not include her on decisions, even though she bowed out of most planning meetings.
6. She complains constantly that I make all the decisions and she is treated like a serf. Thus my catch 22.

I would like to forget about the business and focus on the marriage. And I guess we could liquidate everything and sell the business, but that will not assure the marriage continues. The biz is too much part of her personae now.

I think I need a DB coach. Have people out there had much success with them?
