(My first time doing that, be gentle!)<p>- Because it was almost exclusively product development till now I naturally had much more work than him.<p>- First few months he did not put in as much work due to personal reasons (I was ok with that since I had more work at that point anyways), but things are not improving and he realizes we are getting close to launch date<p>- Considering he had much less work to do than I did, he somehow still didn&#x27;t manage to get things ready for launch, and it&#x27;s starting to block me + I have to do his stuff. This is why I started to be nervous. I put in much more than he did so far.<p>- He is open to suggestions that would make things fair, but he would preferably do it in a way to keep 50% share I assume<p>- I am speaking with him about the situation as well and we both want to resolve it in the fairest way possible. I have faith that he will shine once we go live (in about a month), but I can&#x27;t get rid of feeling that I may be screwing myself.<p>What is the normal way to deal with a situation like this?

(My first time doing that, be gentle!)<p>- Because it was almost exclusively product development till now I naturally had a lot more employment than him.<p>- First few month he did not place in as much work due to personal reasons (I was all right with that since I had more workplace at that point anyways), but thing are not improving and he realizes we are getting close to launch date < p>- Considering he accept much less work to do than I did, he somehow however didn&#x27;t manage to catch things ready for launch, and it&#x27;s starting to block me + I accept to do his stuff.
