Since the business was about 90% intellectual property, everything went POOF. No money for either of them. Now she's upset that her former husband is going back into business. She thinks that since the business was liquidated that he cannot use his current PHD in chemistry. HAHA. Dumb bitch.

Anyway, I'd be really worried about some girl like that. She seriously sounds like she has a firm grasp on your nuts. Watch out before she rips them off.

I mean WTF is she thinking complaining about everything. You do realize that you're letting her run the business, don't you? I mean, nobody forces a company to change their colors or billing software unless they have a 51% share.

Man.. I would have broken up with her the second she gave me the first ultimatim. (Do it my way, or don't do it at all.. - The proper reply is FVCK YOU.)
agreed!

A while back I decided to start my own web / game hosting business, my fiance has decided since we are going to be running this while we are married, she's putting money into this too and she wants to be help with the billing and support. I feel that's fine, technically it's true... but lately she's been really pissing me off. I paid someone to build a webpage for me (I have no artistic talent) and she complained that she didn't like the colors... and if they aren't changed to the colors she wants she's gonna shut everything down. So I redesigned everything; then she doesn't like the billing software and wants me to make her special software for it, or she's gonna stop it all (for everyones info. I know nothing about programming). NOW she doesn't like the prices I am charging and if I don't change it she's gonna shut it all down. Finally I just told her to back off...


To make a long story short she tried controlling everything to be her way or else, when I told her to back off I was in trouble for about a week or so (no sex for a week :( )

Moral of the story: Keep your woman out of the business affairs :)

isn't this pretty much how marriage is?
