If your spouse has a business, how involved are you?
DH and a friend are talking about starting a business. It would be full-time for the friend and a side-business for DH until it's up and running. DH is seeing our accountant to get general advice about setting things up and how it'll affect our family's finances. Our friend won't be at this meeting. I can't go to the meeting. Part of me feels I shouldn't go, this will be DH's work and I don't go to his current work meetings, but there's a part of me that wants to be there and to know what is going on - this business will affect our family's finances, hopefully for the better.
I'm also the worrier, risk-adverse, always want a back-up plan and as I went to law school (undergraduate as in another country) I want everything to be set up properly. I'm fully supportive of DH doing this, and I've told him it has to be legally set-up to protect our family (we're the only one with assets), but beyond that I don't think I have much of a say - the partners would be DH and his friend. Not me and DH and his friend. I could see myself helping with admin. related tasks with the business, but I would never do the actual work as I don't have the skill set needed.
