Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you think therapy should be reserved for dire, nigh unfixable problems, then maybe. But you can also use therapy as a regular part of life for fixing problems big and small.

It’s a sign of deeper problems if you can’t communicate with your (work) partner well enough to avoid these issues. Your job isn’t a marriage and the analogy falls flat. If you’re having enough communicative difficulties that you’re considering failure, then you’re already enough in the shit that one or both of you need to move on.

Your job's not a marriage, but there are similar elements to a marriage if you're co-founding with someone. You're building a business together. You need a lot of trust. It's primarily financial.
