Scenario

When avoiding shared anxiety creates information asymmetry in partnerships

My co-founder handles all our investor relations and I've realized I've been deliberately staying uninformed so I don't have to feel anxious about our runway and fundraising timeline but this means I can't actually contribute to strategic decisions anymore. We both know I'm being willfully ignorant but we haven't talked about it because it's easier for both of us in the short term.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

One partner has assumed emotional labor while the other has chosen ignorance, and both are complicit in this unsustainable arrangement.
