Anyone in a relationship with/married to an entrepreneur? How do you handle the opposite lifestyles? He’s always last minute and his friends are too. I of course have to plan and schedule everything and spontaneity is a challenge. We keep having the same fight about this and aren’t making progress. Would love any suggestions or advice, this group is always so helpful

Not sure what you mean by entrepreneur, but hubby owns his own business. He is not last minute about anything. It may be personality more than occupation.

Many of my friends are business owners, including myself. They and I are not like that at all.

Def sounds like a personal thing with your partner, not their career choice.

Entrepreneurship requires discipline, time management, agendas, etc. just like any other job. However, it is MUCH easier to not do any of that because, well, as an entrepreneur, you get to make the rules.

I've been using ChatGPT to help me in discussions with my husband. I lay the facts out and I include our demographics but I don't say which of us is on which side. Then I ask if it can help me understand both points of view and how each might handle communicating to the other. We've definitely had some very productive conversations lately

I’m also a solo and my husband is also a partner in a RE company and travels. Nothing is really “last minute”. He has some office days, some travel days and some WFH days. I have an intense court schedule and yeah sometimes things come up but we mainly have 9-5 schedules, pick up kids from school, do nighttime routine, etc. I do think this is more a trait than being an entrepreneur.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.

I generally like the work I do and the people I work with, but I really don’t like the hours and the constant late nights and weekends. Currently on pace for 2250. Boutique I have been eyeing has billable hour requirement of 1500-1600 and comes with a 20-25% paycut. Is this a stupid idea and should I grind it out until I can move in house? Will this ruin my opportunities down the road?
