My challenge isn't finding a girlfriend... it's that I've been married for 20 years. I have to ease my spouse into the career change, without upsetting her more than necessary. That means I can't be careless. I'm selling to her as much as to investors or to customers.
This is the kind of difficult dance that happens with long-term relationships. On one hand, if I was given a choice between her and the company, I'd choose her, in a heartbeat. On the other hand, if she made me choose, it would probably ruin our marriage. She sees this is something I must do, so she lets me do it and supports me as much as she can. I am obligated to be as respectful of her concerns as I can be.
