When co-founders avoid hard financial realities together

Our startup has been bleeding cash for six months and my co-founder keeps talking about growth opportunities while I'm losing sleep about payroll, and we both know we're not having the real conversation about whether this thing is actually viable. We've started having completely different meetings with investors where we emphasize different metrics.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are managing their shared anxiety about failure by retreating into separate versions of reality rather than facing the situation together.
