Would you keep dealing with a toxic business partner or bail out from a business?

What would you do in this place, I'll try to keep it short. I have a business that it's going well (restaurant ) on this location I have a business partner and we have an equal partnership (50/50) The business itself has been good on this location for the past 5 years. However since two years ago the partnership has been getting quite toxic, I've been trying my best to keep it cordial and try to work it out but my parnter has been getting more and more agressive and frustrated since two years ago and I just can't deal with it anymore.

The kind of a toxicity I'm talking about is the generic nagging wife kind, no matter what I do or how much effort I put in it will never be enough and she will aways be pointing out what I did wrong and what not. Your average bitter marriage relationship ( my partner in this business is a woman btw) ( hooge mistake I know)

I'm quite emotinally attached to this business since the staff Is like family and I've pretty much kept the same staff this past 5 years because I try my best to be a good boss and a good leader but dealing with this bish has been a constant pain in the ass and makes me miserable, It's also hurting my self esteem just imagine having someone grilling you all the time. Makes me feel like i'm trapped in a dead marriage and that's precisely why I'm still single LOL to avoid such situations in the first place. Makes me feel like an idiot for being in this situation in the first place.

I have other businesses so I'm not 100% dependant on this one but It would impact my finances that's for sure. About 30-45% of my income comes from there, I have other businesses that are more lucrative and produce bigger gains with a lot less effort and trouble so I've always felt that I've neglected the other businesses in order to have said restaurant business working on point.

So i'm meditatin if I should try once again to make things cordial and right with my partner or should I tell her to fuk off and sell her my shares on the business and be on my way. Before things got sour she had been a very good close friend so that makes things even more difficult but as I said before I can't stand her agressivness and bitterness anymore.


Wha would you kunts do in my place?

If she will buy them at a good price, sell them. I personally would never deal with that chit.

Or fuk her. She might be secretly trying to get you to give her dick.

I have done so before (years ago when we first met) after that we became just friends and righ now eewwwww too much familiarity would make it weird as fuk, It would be like fuking a familiy member ( no thanks jeff)

And yes I'm leaning towards selling my shares and being done with it I've tried to make things right before and it's never enough.

Why sell your shares to her? If youre attached to this business, tell her that if she hates the way you manage things then she should shut up and sell her shares to you so she doesnt have to deal with the way you manage things anymore

Yeah why would you sell? Tell her to fukk off anytime she tries that chit with you. Shes your business partner not your boss. You dont have to take chit from her.

I doubt she will since she's 100% dependant on this business while I'm not so I don't want to get into that battle over it since while I'm attached to it my other businesses are more lucrative with a lot less effort. The restaurant business is rewarding but it's very time consuming you always have to deal with little chit that breaks down/goes wrong.

This was the option I was thinking. Buy her out if you can.

Just tell her things aren't working out for you and you don't want to lose her friendship, so there are 2 choices. You can buy her out, or she can buy you out.
You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

We're co-managers. we split the managerial duties 50/50. Is she pulling her weight? I would say yes and so am I . I've tried talking to her but she gets angry and defensive and walks out in an agressive tantrum like a child.

I assume she doesn't have a significant other?

She wants you to fuk her. Or set her up with someone you know.

What things is she giving you chit for and biching about?

What do you do and what does she do there? How often are you both at the business? Daily?

Have you tried talking to her? Have a personal meeting, tell her your issues, suggest drawing a line regarding who does what?

If she is just completely uncooperative and unreasonable then you have a pretty obvious answer here, that is leave.

The avg female bullchit "you did this but not well enough" "you did your duties but not fast enough" or she gets very agressive when I politelly ask her to do what she's supposed to do. I'll try to have one more talk with her but the last 3 or 4 times I've tried she starts to get very agressive and storms out cussing and throwing a tantrum.

While I decide I think it's time talk to my lawyer at least to know objectively what's the proper price for said shares and how to make an amicable exit strategy. I fuken HATE having to deal with lawyers it's always some stressing bs but I'll have to do it to be a step ahead.

I would buy her out or threaten to walk. If she is dependent on the business, but you are not, tank it.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

I would never ever tank it, the staff has been excellent so far I'm not going to throw 20+ poeple to the streets over a feud.

A few ideas

-Hire someone else to do your duties. It can come out of your cut but you can be an absentee owner and not have to deal with her drama
-buy her out of her share
-sell your share of the company to someone else
-never go into business with a woman again

loled at going into business with a woman. And loled at being mogged by a woman.

She can do or say whatever the hell she wants. Your only option is to do whatever she says/tolerate her. Or to sell your shares to her. But she most likely doesn't have the funds to buy you out.

Quit being a cuck. Either stop helping the business succeed and take about 6 months off where you do absolutely nothing. Or purposely tank the business and bankrupt her. Or walk away and learn your lesson.



Simple truth is she knows you're a liberal beta and you won't do anything. People only do this type of thing with nice guys because they know they can get away with it.
