What would you do?

You just need to talk with your partner and establish an understanding that your personal lives and work lives are two different arenas and that they should not get mixed up.

But generally, it's usually not a good idea to do business with friends, whether it's a client-customer relationship or employer-employee relationship.

You might suggest that one of you consider getting a job elsewhere to ensure your relationship doesn't risk termination.
