I Now Pronounce You…Business Partners

After 14 years of marriage and more than two decades together, I’ve discovered a side to my wife, Amy, I’ve never seen: no-nonsense business dominatrix.

Just recently we bought an investment property together — a 1930s-era cottage in a regentrifying neighborhood near downtown. Our plan is to operate the house as a rental unit.

For years I’ve known my wife possesses some business acumen. After all, she has worked herself up from registered nurse to chief operating officer of a specialty surgery center. And we’ve certainly chatted about our respective jobs over the years. I just never saw that business acumen up close.

Now, however, I’m seeing firsthand what Amy the Business Woman is like. And frankly, it’s a bit unsettling. She’s more demanding than I’ve ever seen her. What she tolerates in our personal life is suddenly unacceptable in our business life.

And she isn’t shy about saying so.
