Best Laid Plans
This husband and wife started a speculative conversation about opening a restaurant together. Let’s be honest – we’ve all had that dream before! Opening a little restaurant, a local coffee shop, or even a pub. However, things took a turn for the worst when, rather than remaining a fun imagined eventuality, it turned into a genuine fight over how it would be run and then became a hypothetical divorce.
Hopefully, this couple can turn things around in real life, but they should probably avoid going into business together. There is the saying “don’t mix work and family” for a reason. Disagreements with business partners are one thing, but when your spouse is your business partner any arguments can carry over to both areas of life and that becomes a huge problem very quickly.
