[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I guess it just bothers me because she does nothing for the business.  Boyfriend does 100 percent of the work for 78 percent of the income.  It just seems like an insane payout.  She has a clause saying that even if she remarries (which she is close to doing we think) she still (and only her) owns 22 percent.  Its like she literally is glued to him forever.  I know its up to me to accept it or not and I really love him but I did not see this coming.  [/quote]

That's how business works, OP. If he wants to make an offer to pay her off he can, but that would be a HEFTY sum that I'd think would bother you too. He himself said she helped start it, so that should be a cue for you to butt out.

Just repeat "business is business, not personal." This is not your issue, and for what it's worth I think it sounds fair. [/quote]

How would you feel if he had had a "silent partner" who allowed him to move in with him and not charged for room or board for three or four years so he could get the business started, with the agreement that he would get 22% of the business?  People make all kinds of agreements in the business world. There are different ways of helping a business to get started that add value to that business.
