[quote=Anonymous]Oh good, you're only talking engagement. I'd let him go, set free to explore more mature, intelligent women with half a clue about the way the world works.

Having a partner who is starting a business is not as cut and dry as you think. It didn't involve her "just" going back to work. There is financial risk, sleepless nights, missed family events, an absent spouse, late night support... The list goes on. It also means putting your own dreams on hold for your partner.

Whether you want to know about it, it's a huge amount of sacrifice. And as someone who has a spouse who owned a business, I can tell you, she's earned every but of that 22%.

YOU are not bound to her. She is a director/ shareholder, but not on the payroll, so I essence, the company is bound to her. It's not YOUR company, it's your fiancé's. He may or may not want your involvement, and don't be surprised if a prenup gives you no stake in it.

The thing is, we should all hope for relationships that, if they go south, we can maintain a connection. Your betrothed sounds like a class act who can maintain something positive with his ex.

I never understand people who feel happy with one parent being destitute while one "lives it up" when they divorce. Who would want heir children to live half the time well, only out of spite?
