If by partner you mean spouse, and the stuff I do meaning sex...then yes.

Haha I’m a horrible sex partner too. But a great work partner. Can’t have it all.

More seriously, if this is work related, you are not made for each other.

I’ve been in a place where I felt I wasn’t enough for my work partner. What I found out later was that he made everyone feel that way. It wasn’t me.

You should try to find someone else. They will bring down your confidence and that’s no good for you career. Find someone who will give you the energy to become your best!

Good luck!

Ha, thanks CD1. I know he and I just aren’t a great fit. But even though I know it’s not entirely me, it’s so draining and definitely takes a toll on my self-confidence. Need a new partner and/or a whole new job ASAP.

Atleast you have one! I’m on rotation.

@ACD1 I hear you but I’d honestly rather work solo (or rotate) than have bad chemistry with a partner. Worked alone for several months while I was between partners and while it was challenging at times, it was much less emotionally draining than dealing with a not-so-great relationship on a daily basis. Hope you get a great partner soon though!

$300 groceries ($75/week)
