DEAR THE VIRGO GIRL,
I’m in love with married man. We’ve been “together” for more than seven years with hopes of him one day leaving his wife once he has enough money. I love him so much that I started an online clothing business with him 50/50 and we are doing very well. The business is growing much faster than I anticipated. As the business grows, so does my feelings for him because we created this together – but I can’t help but feel that it may not be enough for him to leave. If things do go sour and he doesn’t leave soon I want to move on but still keep our, my business. Is this possible?
Advice from Dr. Walter Hidalgo: If you made that clear in your contract and business layout, you definitely can leave. However, I believe you are playing with fire by creating another life for this man when he has not put a close to his current situation/life. Whenever you mix business with pleasure you run the risk of hurting others including yourself (your business included). You need to ask yourself – What is more important to me? Taking a risk with this man in hopes that he will leave and you will prosper together? Or, do I make a proactive decision and take my business with me. Now, you could still partner with him if he decides to stay with his current wife, however, will you be able to keep the boat/business afloat without letting your emotions (and his) sink the ship?
