Yeah, doing things like neglecting my girlfriend for my side project isn't something that I want to do, I personally think that isn't healthy for our relationship. Of course, everyone has a different kind of relationship so it can work for some people.

Was it worth it in the end for you?

It’s harder to found a startup than finding a new girlfriend... (YMMV) Yes I learned a lot. And she respected my commitment but we fought a lot from the stress. All good now.

Someone's been watching too many videos of Kevin O'Leary.

Do what I did with my wife: work on the couch while you watch TV together. She eventually saw how important it was to me and it was easier to step away for some productive alone time more often. I will say that it’s much harder now that I have a daughter, and that’s one of the reasons I am now full-time on my business instead of staying part-time. :)
