So like the title says, I have creative ideas and always try to include my wife in discussions, but all she ever brings to the table is problems and negativity when we discuss things. She thinks she’s being “pragmatic” but it’s tremendously disheartening and the problems she imagines are always the absolute worst of the worst case scenarios. Everything I’ve ever read or watched when it comes to starting businesses is, just start and figure out the problems later. I’m well aware of the potential for difficulties in any endeavor, but tend to believe in myself and my ability to adapt and overcome. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you find middle ground, if at all?
You don’t need to talk about your business ideas with your wife.
Also, most women like to feel a sense of security as a result of them being in a relationship with a man. Discussing hypothetical business ideas with them is not always a good match. That shit does not feel secure.
Just my two cents.
