I don’t want to be exclusively negative but I have to say that it seems like you both have no idea how to work together.
Since saying the above, while obvious, is not helpful so I would suggest that you both sit together for however long it takes and figure out a framework you both can agree and stick to to solve differences as well as who is the owner of each individual process that will be required.
If you can’t make that work now, while there’s really nothing going on, can you imagine when (if) something is really on the line?
Take that chance and also figure out what is the exit criteria. What do you do when one of you want to get out of the venture?
Never enter into any sort of agreement without knowing how do you get out. It’s much easier to figure those things out now than when you are at a point of wanting to get out.
Fair. We've worked well together for past 1.5 years, but I suspect it might be because our roles & boundaries were clearly defined. We didn't have that talk when we kicked off this venture.
Early on I broached the topic with list of questions such as how do we disagree, how to handle breakup, hot buttons, practices/guidelines around finances. I need to push again to get those answers.
