Scenario

When business partnerships strain lifelong friendships

My best friend and I started a business together three years ago and it's doing well but we've never figured out how to handle conflict — we just avoid it until someone explodes — and now there's this big decision about expansion that we keep not talking about. I can feel us both getting resentful and I'm scared we're going to lose both the business and the friendship.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love each other are discovering that intimacy and professional partnership require different skills they don't have.
