It's been difficult at times, but like ToniVlaic said, you need to try your best to balance relationships, friends, family, and health.
No, my boyfriend (now husband) has been my co-founder for 3 years now.
No — my boyfriend of 4 years is also an entrepreneur and we both understand the demands of the business. My startup is stronger due to his support and help as well!
No ;-) You need to balance it as good as possible, love life, family, health....
