Entrepreneurs Suck At Relationships


It's 11:39pm and instead of spooning with my significant other or at minimum, sleeping I am up typing another blog for my business. Can I do this tomorrow? Of course, but why? Tomorrow will only bring new demands to my day and I will have to conquer those before the following day. 
This cycle never seems to end and as fatigued as I become, my commitment to my goal to be successful in my start-up outweighs any relationship, logic, and lately food. 
I casually graze all day rather than sit down and actually enjoy a meal. 
I joined an online dating service and have no time to reply to potential love interests. When I tell them that I am busy launching my own business they all seem excited and no sooner than a few days they have long given up on me, due to my tardy and brief replies which only serve as obligatory echoes to their valiant attempts at capturing my attention. 
No, I don't spoon with anyone at night. I don't have leisure conversation. I don't spend more than 30 minutes in the gym when I actually make it there. I don't eat dinner with my family. I use every free moment to mult-task. This means that I make business calls while walking, waiting, emailing, and driving. My phone is constantly burning from the heat of a android pressed against it. I purchased a portable charger so I wouldn't need an outlet. All this to say that I won't stop. I'm too close. Business is picking up. Money is coming in. I am isolated from recreational socialization and insulated with the beginnings of a successful business. 
I spoke with a friend yesterday, whose husband is an aspiring businessman. His business has yet to truly thrive, and all of his profits go back into the business. Now that he has had a taste of entrepreneurship, he refuses to go back to the confines of a 9-5 and remains on his seemingly aimless quest to achieve his dream. His wife has grown tired of his venture and resents his selfish motivation to stay the path despite the deficit of income within the household. Still, he endures her tirades and nurses his startup addiction with an unlimited investment of time. 
We really don't know when to stop do we? 
The fact that I don't have a spouse certainly works to my benefit. I can only imagine adding dinner plans and sex to my already demanding schedule. Who has time for that? If I didn't have a dishwasher I would have been eating meals off of paper towels and foil sheets. 
I'm not perfect. I'm not in a relationship. I'm an entrepreneur. The further I progress down this path, that somehow leads up to success the less I see myself deviating from it. I'm an entrepreneur, I'm a horrible at relationships,...unless it's business, of course.

The Punisher: Relationship Prejudice

When started dating after separation, I did it in phases. The first phase was catch up. I wanted to catch up with every man I had a spark with to explore where it would have went had I not gotten married. Once I realized that these "what if's" were really "don't bother's" I moved on to try to find "the one." After several failed attempts and false starts with "the one" I began making rules. I didn't always know what I liked but I was certain after several failed relationships of what I didnt. However, now that I look back, I realize that plenty of the red flags that made me run were almost always a shared similarity with my ex. If a man said he was interested in anything my ex was interested in, I began to feel uneasy and delve deeper for more "flags". I'll even admit that if a man were from the same country or continent as my ex, I would get turned off. I now know that I was suffering from PTRD (Post Traumatic Re...

The Real Thing *Relationships/Dating*

I love Marvin Gaye. I love how he croons along with Tammi Terrell about having the "Real Thing". If you have followed my blog over the years, you have seen me get separated, divorced, and hit the dating scene. Its been a long road. There was a time that I was dating just to get my feet wet. I just wanted to get into the habit of conversing and entertaining men in a way that I hadn't due to the confines of marriage. I just wanted to be single again. Eventually I came to want more. I wanted to have something...real. I am not a traditional woman. If I didn't have children I would likely never be married and I would be totally fine with living in a separate home from my significant other and connecting when we wanted to connect and maintaining space all other times. However, I have children...and my lifestyle preferences are not a priority. I am more interested in setting an example and foundation for my girls. So here I am, dating with a purpose. I have been on POF,...

The Secret Society Of Trump Supporters

I've heard at least a dozen people proclaim their disgust with the success of Donald Trumps Presidential campaign. I'm lying, it's been everywhere. On social media, articles, and conversation you hear plenty people express their disdain at the mere thought of Trump assuming office. Then there are the supporters. There are the people who openly express their support of Trump winning the White House. As time goes on, Trump's position is yet more secured and his supporters are also more secure in showing just how much they love him. It seems now that victory is within their grasp, they can more openly say : I helped make this happen. Those are the cowards. They won't openly defend their candidate but they quietly follow and support him. Those are the people who will say: "well there are some people who support Trump because he says what others won't say." Those people, are talking about themselves. They are far too timid to say what Trump says and he ha...
