It's me again, with another topic. My husband opened a business back in 1995, during that time we were having some problems in our marriage. The business lasted for 3 years on the 3rd year anniversary the business folded. During the course of the business I was excluded from EVERYTHING except the portion where he needed my income to rent the space. He would ask me to work in the store when he couldn't get anyone else to fill in. But as far as me actually participating in the business he would not have it. Needless to say the business forced us into a Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. The Chapter 13 has since been paid off. NOW, he wants to open another business and he wants my participation, but that is not my desire to have the business for fear of what may happen again. Am I wrong for not wanting to support him in his endeavors? I have told him that I am not interested in participating in the business. When I wanted to be a part of the other business he refused to let me in. I am happy with the way things are now. We have truly come a long way, and I don't want to see if ruined. Needless to say during that time also he had fallen out of love with me and was contemplating separation and divorce. The stress and anxiety I had behind all this and other things, I am not sure if I can go through it again. It is becoming more and more a conversation piece about opening a business. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> HELP!!

If the first business wasn't successful, what makes him think that this one will be? This ruined your credit rating, so how are you going to secure financing or vendors?

You need to be honest with him about this. He left you out of the operation of the business yet used you to keep it running. Then he wanted a separation/divorce. It only took me once to touch a hot iron to know to not do that again.
