Thanks for the response and support. We've talked about this and she says its unfair how she treats me. She doesn't want to be that way and blah blah. She admits that I am good to her and she is bad to me and asks why do I stay. She doesn't want to break up but wants some time apart. One or two nights I slept in the guest bedroom and she came in crying because I wasn't sleeping with her. She knows I am going to move out for a bit yet she does this?
It's pretty simple really and most people here don't seem to have a clue how women work.
She's ridiculing you because she feels you care more about work than her and it hurts her, so she wants to hurt you the way you're hurting her.
Some women are more needy than others. Some will be fine with you spending most of your time working as long as you allocate time for them, while others want you to spend every waking moment with them.
One of my girlfriends a couple of years ago was just like yours. She wanted money and she also wanted a bf who would spend all morning in bed having sex, then all evening doing something together. She'd ridicule me about a lot of different business related things whenever I wouldn't spend ridiculous amounts of time with her.
There's not a lot you can do really. I don't know the situation, but needy women aren't a good match for someone who wants to run a business. You'd be better off without a girlfriend just now, or finding either a career woman or a woman running her own business too.
Most people don't understand what it takes to run a business and most women would rather just have someone they can spend time with rather than a someone trying to build a business with the promise of making riches. It's a different story if you're already a millionaire since they knew what they were getting into, but when you're trying to build a business all they see is you producing the same money anyone else with a job is producing but working 3x more.
Only you can decide what to do but my advice would be talk to her and tell her you understand she's acting this way because of why I said. (Don't say she's needy)
Explain to her that both your business and her are very important to you and that she's more important than the business, but regardless of that the business is still something that's going to take up a lot of your time and she has to accept that part of you if things are going to work.
If you get her talking you can perhaps come up with some compromises. You personally don't need to work every minute on your business and dear god man, what's with the sleeping bag in the office? That is NOT how you run a successful business!! Set hours for work and then finish. 8am-7pm, mon-sat is MORE than enough. Outside of that you can spend time with her.
Good luck whatever you do.
