we met one year ago at work and for the past 9 months have had a very loving and passionate relationship. we left our partners and our work to be together although we were living apart we set up a new business venture together. I lied to him about a very important business matter, this was not the first time i have lied to him either and at the weekend we fell out for the first time. we spoke today about winding the business down he said that he still wanted to do it and we agreed on his own then he said he still loved me and i would always be his girl and wanted to go because he was upset, it then transpired that he cannot really do it without my support then i got upset. We agreed to meet up on Friday to meet a new client. I dont know what to expect. he has not kept in touch as though we are still in a relationship, and i would find it very difficult to just have a business relationship. help

I think you will find it hard to continue with a business relationship if you have finished. My friends tried that and it nearly killed them. They sold the business and move on. I think you will find that you will have to end things completely. Talk it over and see how it goes but i think you will not be able to work together. What happens when either of you meet someone else?

Keep in touch and let me know how this progresses.

Take care

Midge agony auntI dont know what type of business venture you are both in, but think that if you are uncomfortable being in the same room with each other, how could you have a business relationship.

The only way you could keep the business going is by sitting down and having a civil conversation together, and soon! If you cant agree where you are in "your relationship", there is very little or no chance on having a "business relationship".

I have a business relationship with my boyfriend and if he lied to me, or something happened in our "relationship", then there wouldnt be much chance of us continuing a business relationship. I wouldnt be able to trust him and would find it very difficult to cope thinking about "what we had and what might have been".

I hope you can sit down and discuss where you are both at before your meeting with your new client!
