Demotivated Founder With Lost Passion Seeking Advice
webwright: How much do your users/customers love what you have? If there is a glimmer of user joy, that's not worth tossing aside lightly...  It's rarer than you think, and having something that customers like enough to pay for is a GREAT thing to have in this market.In, short...  Are you onto something? If not, certainly bail.If you are, you've got big challenges with your partner.  I'd try to find a new one if you can't make him an asset (a good way to separate is to give both partners legal rights to the code and flip a coin for the brand).This is SUCH a huge problem- you aren't alone.  More startups fail due to lack of interest/motivation than anything else, IMO.  User happiness is a HUGE motivator and lack of it is a huge de-motivator...  So launching would be a good step if you're looking for motivation or a final nail in the coffin.Read "The Dip: When to Quit and When to Stick" by Seth Godin.
