[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I run a consulting business together and I hate working with him. He is very rude and disrespectful to me at work on a regular basis. He allows resentment from our marriage to spill over into work and it's just hell. The business does better for us than we could do in the job market, so I put up with it. Today we attempted to have a business meeting and he just started screaming at me. I can't take the lack of professionalism and how hard it is to get things done. How should I respond to this type
If behavior? I am unable to do the business alone without his expertise.[/quote]

You say “the business does better for is than we could do in the job market”.

I doubt that is true if you look at yourself and the bigger picture of what is compensation.  Do you have good health insurance with a deductible comparable to being employed elsewhere?  Although you can now get your insurance thru the ACA, my experience is that the total cost is not as good as that from a private employer (deductibles are still very high). Do you have emploer-provided life insurance? Matched retirement contributions?  Disability insurance? Paid sick days? Paid vacation? Other benefits like commuting $ or gym membership? Do you have clear time off from the job?  What would you do if one of you got sick or needed time to care for an ill family member?

Do you have access to professional training and education?  Are you able to grow your professional network?  Do you have “promotion potential” (in this case is your business partner supportive of you trying new things and taking on new roles or are you stuck doing the same thing over and over?).

What would your partner have to pay someone to do the job that you are doing? Are you getting at least the same level of compensation?  Is it possible to hire someone to do all or most of your job?

Are you sure you couldn’t get more in today’s economy - when unemployment is at 3%? Or did you make this decision when the economy was down and it was harder to find work?
