Would you consider becoming a "couplepreneur", aka starting a business with your husband or partner? What would be your major concern?

I think my major concern would be spending too much time together..My husband and I get along famously, but I always enjoy when he goes off to work too and I would not want him around 24/7.
Hi Victoria,
My husband is a cancer researcher - he patented a drug for melanoma. He works well with doctors, but when it comes to pitching his business for funding, he is totally not " A BUSINESS MINDED". I attempted to help him but I am got frustrated with him .. So, to save my sanity, I stopped!!! Besides, I have my started on my own activewear business, maybe I'll make enough $$ to fund his business!!!
We kind of sort of do that in some capacity. We support one another when it comes to my website but full force working 9-5 with each other....OMG NO NO NO NO NO. My major concern would be communication, emotions and taking away from the marriage - being a "couple". I would be afraid that i would knock him out at the end of the day...so sorry but true. Love em dearly but we already spend enough time together.
