My husband and I may cheer each other on TOO much. We both decided to be entrepreneurs at the same time. Things were going great and we quit our jobs. Things slowed down for a month- no biggie... 2 months, starting to stress and find other sources for income... 3 months, getting behind on bills, etc. Eventually we started figuring things out and making them work and it's getting a lot better (although still not out of the side hustle phase). I said all that to say make sure you have plenty of money saved and won't struggle financially if things go south. Even with us both trying our hardest to stay positive and supportive and motivate ourselves and each other, it put a bit of a strain on our marriage. I would also suggest telling her how you feel, and what you would like her to try to do or another way to voice practical concerns without shooting your ideas down completely. If that doesn't work, just don't tell her things. We had this same problem, but with EVERYONE outside of our marriage. They didn't see things how we do, and there was no way to explain it. But we did things our own way and just stopped telling people our business and make a lot more monthly than we did at our hourly jobs. The only stress is getting caught up and getting a strong savings but it's worth it.
