When business partnerships change close friendships

My best friend and I started a business together two years ago and it's actually going well, but somewhere along the way we stopped talking about anything except work and I miss who we used to be together. We're both afraid that bringing up the friendship stuff will mess up the business partnership, so we just keep pretending everything's fine.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Success can create its own kind of loss when professional roles eclipse the intimacy that made collaboration possible.
