When friends can't let go of shared dreams that no longer fit

My best friend and I have been planning to start a business together for three years and we keep having the same conversation about 'when we're ready' but neither of us will admit that we're both terrified and maybe don't actually want the same thing anymore. We've put so much into this dream that walking away feels like betraying our friendship, but staying feels like we're lying to each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are trapped between honoring their history together and acknowledging who they've become.
