I feel like I've made this startup my life, have sacrificed a lot and am willing to sacrifice anything else for it. However, for my cofounder, this is just a part of his life for him. He has other priorities (family, social life, leisure time, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, etc) that are of equal or if not more importance than this startup.
I suspect I work than him (maybe 4 - 6 more hours/day) and I feel like I constantly have to push/drag him to move faster. In addition, this startup is funded by friends and family - MY friends and family. I'm almost worried he has no qualms if we failed and wasted all their money, since he doesn't even know them.
I'm building up so much anger, resentment and bitterness I have no doubt it is unhealthy. I have had several talks with him in which I was very honest, which helped temporarily, but didn't last.
Assuming I still want him to be my cofounder, how can I improve the situation? I'm open to the suggestion that this is actually my problem and that I should change something about myself instead of trying to change him. Should I relax and let go? Spend more time socializing myself instead of constantly working? I'm just worried I won't be able to stop caring and will constantly want to go back to work.
Any suggestions welcome, thank you.
