Today was an exhausting day, and I did not get my bathmate session in like I had planned, however, there is a story and perhaps a little bit of wisdom to be had. So, I’ll explain what happened.
The Battle with the German Vampire Continues
In one of my earlier posts, I stated that my business partner belittled me in front of a vendor, and I reprimanded him. Today, we had another argument.
About 6 months ago, we had a client not pay of $30,000.00 no small amount of money–the client’s reason is that he doesn’t have the money to do so. While we are in agreement that this former client is a scumbag, we are at odds with how to handle the situation.
He wants to take the violent path; I want to take the lawyer path. We are not in agreement. The situation is sticky as my partner wants me to be the one swinging the bat which I refuse to do. He doesn’t want to get the lawyer because he thinks optics make us look ‘weak.’
I know someone who took the ‘violent’ path over $60,000.00. They received 8-years in federal prison, and they served all 8 years.
I’m not willing to go to prison for $30,000.00.
His view is that if I’m not ‘willing’ to get violently-angry, we shouldn’t be partners. I agree, however, our business is so intertwined, it is not as simple as splitting up and going our separate ways.
The path ahead of me will be a little perilous, and I’m not 100% sure the exact steps, but this is a situation I need to get under control before it destroys me both emotionally and financially.

To say I was emotionally drained when I got home is an understatement, but I just didn’t have the willpower in me to do the Bathmate session after work. My plan is to do a bathmate session on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of this weekend.
