Harry Browne wrote about how to split up property during a divorce. [1] His idea can be applied in this case too:

One of you two decides what equity the one receives who leaves the company, after that the other one decides whether he wants to take the equity and leave or stay.

>before worrying about satisfying others Exactly. Sounds like you got sucked in to something. Ask yourself if this is something you want to do or something someone told you you should do.

Edit: In case you want to learn more about 'traps' one can fall into, I suggest this book: http://www.amazon.com/How-Found-Freedom-Unfree-World/dp/0965...

If you want to see how deep the rabbit hole of freedom can be, I would recommend "How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World: A Handbook for Personal Liberty"

No matter whether you are young or old, male or female, married or single, I think How I Found Freedom in an Unfree Word will probably increase your understanding of how erroneous thinking causes us to restrict our own freedom. By increasing your awareness of erroneous thinking and offering you better alternatives, Harry Browne gives you a chance to make choices that will increase your freedom and happiness. Whether you want to make those choices is up to you.
