When partners push each other past sustainable limits to prove commitment

My co-founder and I have been bootstrapping for two years and we're both burned out but we keep pushing each other to do more instead of having the conversation about whether this pace is sustainable or smart. We've become afraid that if either of us admits we need to slow down, it means we're not committed enough.

What we've seen

You and your co-founder keep pushing each other harder, too scared to admit you're both burned out.
