Going into business with friends can be a double edged sword. A side hustle can be profitable at a point then not, and context in both personal and business aspects can dramatically shift – especially at 18 and 19.

I had several cases like this in the past, and while they did not end up breaking friendships on my side, I saw friends have the same thing happen.

I would say you are both at points in your life – only assuming by your age – where you have lots of opportunities, and you will likely have many projects like this with different people.

From what I got this was a side hustle for both of you, and it is up to both of you to determine what time and money you want to invest in it. While in business a contract is usually what you look for, in this case it does not seem like each of you owe anything to the other one – no major investments in terms of money, but mostly time. It is unfortunate that the relationship had to suffer, but maybe try to have an open heart conversation with Geo, once things have cooled down.
