Relationships and Business
How do you disassociate your personal relationship (with a girlfriend/boyfriend, husband/wife) with business?
For example, I have worked for myself for 5 years now. My girlfriend might work from 7am - 1pm. I'll work from about 9am - 1pm and then want to work again later in the day. She sometimes takes this personally and isn't comfortable with me working when she's off. It's a repeat battle with anyone, friend, family, etc. they all believe I have complete freedom and don't have to work in order to make money.
Since I am my own boss, it's difficult to tell her that I have to work. I can say it, but then she'll say that I should have worked earlier in the day. My brain doesn't function the same and I typically do my best work and am most productive later in the day (afternoon) and late evenings.
Anyways, I'd really appreciate any advice from others that are working from home (I usually work at Starbucks) and are in a relationship.
