Hey you're a great guy and life's too short. Rather than just walking away from a good partnership with a bit of a dummy; talk it out and recreate the partnership. Everyone gets a little stupid from time to time; takes a big man not to get too greedy too.

My development partner branched out on a deal a couple years ago. I lost out on the deal and the commission for the sale of the deal property. I didn't say anything, but when the opportunity presented iteself; and it always does; I let him know exactly how I felt and that he laid out and presented the ground rules with that little episode.

Later in the year, he brought me a deal that is literally 20 times better than that little 'ol deal ever was, so it paid off accepting his faults.

Over all the years of being in business and dealing with all kinds of people, I developed a little phylosophy about life....."it's all about me" Only thing is, that's what everyones angle is. ME! I try real hard to think like them when I deal with people; what's in it for them, why are they in it. Most of my partners have big egos; so its easy to predict what they'll do and being in business with them is very simple; afterall, I'm doing it for the money. Ha, ha.

Sorry about your late night dilema, I think you should put it behind you; talk about the situation directly and honestly. If he turns out to be a bull ****ter, walk; you'll have a tear in your eye, but your head will be held high. What'ya gonna do?

Cheers bud!
