Rob...it's times like this that you find out who your friends are. Seems you took a friend and created a monster...but you're not off the hook. You made him a bucket of money and he forgot that, or at least he see's it differently than you. Two sides to every story.

Suggest you save your family (and his) the trauma of a battle. Sounds like you each cashed in on the partnership many times. Finish off this project, even at a loss and consider it a lesson learned. Friends are friends, but business is business. One of you (or both) is struggling to understand that.

You entered into a partnership of convenience, not one that was carefully thought out with a business plan and a defined strategy to carry things forward. The opposite of what I've seen you preach here. A business partnership isn't much different than a marriage. Again...lesson learned. And remember, he doesn't see it the same way you do. Probably posting the other side of this story on some other forum right now. Respect that and move on.

In time, if there's any "real" friendship there, it should heal. If not, so be it.
