    It's sad to hear people or friends that become business partners end up splitting. Either one becomes lazy, obsessive, money hungry, etc.. and puts a strain on not only the business relationship but any external relationship. If I were you, I would straight up tell him how it is. Another problem that eventally surfaces is lack of communication for whatever reason. If he doesn't see things your way or doesn't want to change or comes up with some other excuse or starts an argument over it, I'd end that relationship before it gets worse. I've been fortuate enough that my wife is my scraping parter. We've been married for five years and when I told her I wanted to get into scrapping electronics, she said she wanted to get into it also because it was something we could do together. We then brought in her brother, so now she handles the financial end of things while her brother and I go out to find the stuff, bring it back, scrap it out, and sell it.

    And I would say I am obsessive. Scrapping is my obession. It has to be done right and done efficiently otherwise I will not take part of it.
