How to tell boyfriend I only want a business relationship with him?

[Anonymous]

We have a business together and other assets. I don't want him ruining my credit by not handling our assets or business. I decided I want to have a conversation with him basically saying I don't want to be in romantic relationship anymore. I just want to work with him. I feel like I'm forced to be in this relationship in fear that he will ruin everything I built before we got together. We don't have sex and he does not satisfy any of my needs. I don't feel like he is attracted to me. I feel like he just uses me to excel in his business. It was never about us having a relationship + a partnership. I want to date other people and I feel I would be happier with someone who actually wants me for me not to gain from having me in their life.

Wow... honestly, I would only advise that you talk to a lawyer about how best to protect your assets and then start separating your assets from his. One would like to think that you could discuss this with him and come to an amicable agreement... but honestly how often does this happen? If he was that type of person, you would not be feeling the way you feel right now. I would start with a tax attorney.

But honestly this why I stated in a 22-year marriage for 8 years longer then I should of.

Consult a lawyer first. You share assets and he seems like the type to ruin you if he's already not caring for you or carrying his weight in the biz.

Protect yourself, your business, and your finances.

Don't half ass your exit.
