Episode 2227

Let’s have some real talk today: a side hustling caller is having a problem with her side hustle. Is it that no one is buying? Nope. Is she having difficulties with customer service? Nope. It seems like business is going along okay, except for something that isn’t directly related to the side hustle: it’s her partner who is uncomfortable. I’d say this is the first time I’ve heard of this dynamic, but sadly it’s not. Let’s talk about what might be done, and how some other people in this situation have handled it.
"I have a problem that I suspect is more common than most people think. In short, I'm sorry to report that my partner is not very supportive of my side hustle. I’ll spare you all the details, but basically they resent the time it takes, even when it's not really time that intrudes on something we were supposed to do together. He keeps asking questions about when I'm going to "finish," as if it's a one-off project that's just going to wind down. I know you aren't a relationship coach, but do you have any advice for me?"
