She won't let me help faltering biz

HIDDEN DEBTS A WORRY

- 

MY partner’s beauty business is struggling.

Bookings are down and costs are rocketing. I feel very sorry for her but it's not my fault and I don’t think it’s fair of her to take her frustrations out on me.

We're not sleeping together and she's refusing to be civil. I can’t remember the last time we had sex. Every time I try and talk to her, she shouts me down. Our relationship is in crisis.

One of her problems is she won't take advice. Over the years both her parents and I have tried to give her financial and practical help, but we've always been told to butt out.

For ages I told her to sack her friend who was untrustworthy, but she wouldn't listen. In the end the friend left taking all of my girl's best customers with her.
