i just want my friend back. this is his dream and i have no intentions of trying to ruin it for him. but your right if he can't be fair then that will only cause more problems.
It would appear to me that there doesn't seen to be any urgency, or sincere concern over the legal issues, rather, just a person's feelings who is clearly taking advantage of you.
I find this very odd .. since you're a Capricorn .. likely the most grounded of all signs.
And what my mind discerns about this "lack" of judgement, is disturbing .. I'm getting the feeling that since you are a Capricorn, that you would indeed know if you needed legal help without anybody's else's input.
"so how do i win my pisces back without letting him walk all over me."
The focus on the business venture only appears as background info so a solid foundation is laid about why and how he was in the wrong, so he ends up the culprit .. when in reality, if he was really this bad of a person and business partner, you'd run and never look back except to sue his ass off.
I understand the part about doing something not so bright, but putting that aside because feelings supercede logic .. however, I would think that everybody would have an automatic device that signals in the head when we are landing ourselves in legal trouble. I would think that this would take priority over feelings .. some things we can ignore, but, our will to survive and our sense of well-being takes the driver seat ..
There are several friends I have who are being taken for a ride with thier relationships and you know what? They don't know it .. even if it's brought up to them by me, their family members .. people go into denial mode, that's the way it works.
People have a sense of protecting themselves (as with the legality issue) .. and though we may be blind to another taking us .. the point is we're BLIND to it. It is recognized here, acceptable even .. that's not normal. People don't work that way. If someone's using you, you don't KNOW it .. if you knew, it wouldn't happen.
this is just the situation. i know its hard to tell with the info given but he's not a horrible person, business partner on the hand. well maybe he works better by himself. we have a long history and he's one of the most important people in my life. we get a long so well i never thought we would have any problems working together. i take some of the blame for not standing up for myself, making sure we had defined roles, and letting this go on so long.
any way he's speaking to me again and i think we maybe be able to work something fair out. im just sad it didn't work and things are so messed up because of it.
