Mila,

That meeting must have been very difficult for you. You have a very, very difficult row to hoe since WAH is your business partner too. I can't imagine how difficult that must be. It sounds as though he is REALLY in denial.

Since H is so defensive, just wondering if it might enhance the productivity of your meetings with him if you could communicate on your most difficult topics in writing? or possibly each prepare lists of things you have done for the business since the last meeting to present at each meeting? or meet in a public place to help keep things calmer? You may already be doing all of these things, but I was just thinking that if H actually tried to write a list of things he's done, it might dawn on him that he is not pulling his weight.

Just curious.........does H have something to fall back on if (God forbid) your business accounts dipped for awhile? I don't know all the details of your situation, but it seems as though H hasn't really suffered many consequences for his actions to this point.

My thoughts are with you.
