My business partner is draining me… and it’s my GF
So for context I’m 21m, I’ve fair amount of experience in Analytics, Marketing, and tads and bits of Finance.
I recently started a agency with my girlfriend (21f)who did a influencer marketing internship from a agency (which i helped her land coz she didn’t have skills).
Now the thing is we both saw a potential in influencer marketing and decided to start a agency. We have a agreement and are 50/50 partners in it.
Everything good until we actually started. Then i came to know how lazy she is and has no knowledge about marketing at all. I feel like I’m carrying the whole Internal and External affairs of the business all by myself coz she literally knows nothing nor has any zeal to do anything. I do the Sales, Creatives, Negotiations, client handling, legal and documentation, customer experience and literally everything. I gave her time to learn to get to the level but she doesn’t seem to work hard at all. She wakes up all night for no reason doing no work and then boom sleeps till 1-2pm everyday. I wake up feeling so drained as i generally sleep at 5am after doing all the work and wakes up at 10-11am max. I just feel like I’m stuck with a bad partner. Everytime i say her to do something she blames me saying i don’t acknowledge what she does but she does nothing. I’m genuinely tired, and being a Bipolar which she knows has a reason to tell me I’m the reason coz somedays i feel low and i expect someone to atleast do a part of work i do. Idk i feel so hopeless and stuck at this point. Having bad panic attacks at night as I’ve put all the money myself and if i back out only I’ll lose everything, my time, my efforts and my money.
