My boyfriend/DP (whom we share one DS and a DD arriving soon), has always wanted to set up his own company. He now has the opportunity to co-own with a former colleague of his. I am unemployed with little career options (due to various non interesting/relevant reasons) - (but very well education!). He thinks I would do good in his company (which is still a few months away from actually setting up).
But he would be my boss. And the market the company is in, is competitive. He has had some brutal bosses in the past. I'm also slightly bummed (and told him) I would just be a trainee, rather than a position/title slightly below him and his co-owner. Okay - so I don't know anything about the industry but I am teaching myself during DS's naps and after his bedtime (whilst doing household chores!)
Basically I want to hear experiences from anyone else who has been in this position. Has it worked out fine to have your DP/DH as your boss? Has it affected your relationship? How did you keep professional whilst under pressure to perform? (This is a sales based role I would have)
