I am in the same situation as you. I am also a startup founder, have been working on the side for about 3 months and my wife is the cofounder. Our plan was to lunch and run it for 3 months and see the progress before I went full time. However I was part of a retrenchment at work and this month is my last month.
It also happens that my work permit expires in 2 months and most employers won’t hire with less than 3 months work permit so I am left with no choice than to focus on the startup and some contracts from Upwork.
But my wife is in support and understands I can’t get a job yet. Also we already have waitlist with about 5 businesses, 2 of which she pitched to them and they can’t wait to start using. I guess that makes the difference for me.
But what I’ll say is have a conversation with her and also try to pitch to some customers and see if they are willing to join a waitlist, that gives you some idea of how people will perceive the product once it is launched.
