There can't be more amateur thing than to think that an investor is out there to fund you for meeting your personal and material needs. You aren't the first one to fall in that cauldron of Catch 22 situation wherein the personal emotions is taking over the professional maturity. That's where one needs to have a EQ to be able to maintain the balance.

You can afford to live apart from your life partner for a while to build a better future for both of you. You can't afford to compromise with your future to live with your life partner in present. I don't know which part of world you belong to, but I see such problems day in and day out in the part of world I live.

Let me know if there's something that might require discussion between us. All the best!!
