From the spouse's side I find it very challenging to be continuously supportive when my husband is facing frustration with getting the practice off the ground. It's not that I am not supportive, I am. It's more that I get frustrated too. I worry, just as he does, about bringing in clients, building the practice, marketing, etc. I don't feel free to express those concerns because I feel that I must be a rock for him at home, someone he can confide in about his frustrations and concerns at work. Sometimes this leads to confrontations when we don't see eye-to-eye on things. Sometimes it doesn't.
How do you keep the frustration from growing so your can grow the practice instead?
How are things going? My husband is also starting a practice--for the same reasons.
