How fundraising pressure destroys co-founder relationships

My co-founder and I are in month six of fundraising and we've started blaming each other for why it's not working instead of looking at whether our strategy makes sense. Every investor meeting debrief turns into a subtle argument about who said what wrong and I can feel us losing trust in each other when we need it most.
