Today, My cofounder parted ways with the company. I have a lot of
unusual emotions running through me right now that I didn’t know
existed. The closest comparison, as I recall, is the familiar feeling of
a romantic relationship’s breakup. I felt my heart falling off. Unsure
of what’s next and still hope that I could change her mind.
We have had a number of disagreements and today we realized that we have
very crucial fundamental philosophies on things generally that have
gotten both of us to want things to be done in a certain way that the
other doesn't believe will work. Since we are 50% 50% partners, we just
go in circles every single time until one submits. Unhealthy. This time,
After a few back and forth trying to both argue out our points, she
resorted to leaving it all and part ways.
In all this, what is apparent to me is practically experiencing how
divorce will feel if I ever have it. How things start out so gloomy and
perfect that you almost know, not wish, that you will be together with
your partner forever and how even then, things can just break and you
can't quite understand whose fault it is but it just ends.
There you have it. I’m on my own now. Hard times for me. I will probably
get high and drunk for a day and move on as I always have. She has been
an incredible partner! Beautiful heart and it breaks my heart to see her
go. I keep running through my head with mild fear of what is next. Or if
I should be at least glad we discovered our fundamental difference this
early. Can I keep working on NextGenHub myself?, and will it be
successful with only me running it? These two questions keep bouncing in my head.
