Have you candidly told him any of this?

In your position, it sounds like you two need to have a serious talk about what both of you consider your role to be and about where the company is going. Find a free block of time and figure out where you two go from here, you’re both adults and can and should be discussing these feelings and issues.

I have tried numerous times in the past. However because things were "going well" he had no reason to listen and we kept marching towards disaster.

Oddly enough, based on a rare positive conversation we managed today, it seem likes maybe this crisis might put us back on the same page. Will have to see how this plays out in the coming days and weeks.

Agreed, except: he likely can't because the other guy is a jerk. There's some people who just missed the REASONABLE DNA strand.
