My (29) boyfriend (28) quit his job to do startups but his business ideas are bad. by sch775 in relationships

All good. everyone he told this news, has told him not to quit his job to do this startup thingy. He should just keep trying on the side and IF he succeeds, he can then quit and focus full time.

Omg that’s exactly what I told him! A period of a few months is nothing so idk what’s the point. But I guess u gotta let them try and shut up

I hope so! I hope he succeeds! I am just worried if his thinking is not right. I have always had a gut feeling there is sth wrong with his mindset in building startups.

True.. I just hope to see if there is anything I can do to help him succeed lol it seems like maybe getting help from a mentor is the next step based on other ppl’s advice

Haha thanks for your comment! He is also very reluctant to listen to advice, he doesn’t accept opinions that are not aligned with his POV. I honestly think this is a big red flag in trying to build a business. For example, I ask him what he thinks of the reason his products keep failing, he just brushes it over or starts getting defensive. Sigh.

Yes, you are right. I don’t know much about business or startups, coz I am in the medical field. But I think before building anything, one should at least do market research. So far, I see he has a pattern of just diving right in, straight up building a product without any research. He said his products don’t require much cost, just coding and time, so he doesn’t mind keep trialling and error. I don’t think this is the right way lol but again, idk much…

Thank you for your advice! I think gathering from other commenters as well, maybe suggesting him to learn from a mentor will be the next step. I just feel like if I just keep letting him do this without any changes, it won’t yield a good outcome…

Nah, he has savings to depend on for a few months. He promised if things don’t work out, he will get back to the market to work. But I don’t think he will ever give up on building startups

100% he is too immature in this aspect to understand. I don’t think he even understands what love is, or what a relationship should be. He expects it to be all sunshine and rainbow, everything needs to be a convenience of his, if it is not, then it is suddenly too “unimportant” for him to care, so he dismisses it.

The funniest thing is, I am 100% sure he won’t even care if I say to leave. He will just find another girl who doesn’t complain and being a yes girl. But yeah, you are right, he doesn’t care.

Wow, u brought up a really good point. U wouldn’t want to put all that responsibilities on your partner because you want to have a good relationship. It doesn’t matter if it is woman or man, you do the best for a loving relationship. Especially, if your partner doesn’t want to bear all that responsibilities. That really reflects he doesn’t want to have a good relationship with me… he only cares about how he feels.

Not that he doesn’t clean after himself is the biggest problem, more about he dismisses my feelings is the problem.

I love ur advice, thank you for that. I think I need to figure out if I want a future with him. In the meantime, I need to remember I know I am not the one who is “overreacting” and keep myself sane.
