Tatertot:
My sympathies are with you. You know, in a few years, months even, you will be able to look at this time with pride, because you knew you did the right thing, although it hurt at the time. You showed ethical and moral superiority even though it wasn’t necessarily in your best interest. Although I don’t know you personally, I’m glad to know you. Eventually, everything works out. Trust me. 
Dang…now I’m going to have to be good and moral for the rest of my life just to live up to everyone on this thread’s expectations of me. 
Lisa and Zette, thanks for sharing your stories with me, I’m glad to know I’m not alone. Thankfully, in this case I think I have convinced him not to go through with the questionable and illegal practices. It’s more because he fears lawsuits, but whatever works, right?
I’m feeling much better today. After I got over the initial anger and sadness, I was able to look more clearly at my options and form a game plan. It looks like I’ve got tons more opportunities coming my way. Luckily, I’m not in a position where I need the money right now. Thanks for letting me vent.
Tracy,
I want to make clear that I didn’t think you were going to do anything illegal! You’re my friend, and though you’d remain one if you did do something like that, it’s also true that I wouldn’t value your friendship nearly as much as I do if I even thought you were capable of callously breaking the law.
What I meant was based on some things you told me privately: that you’d done a bit of consulting and giving input for the site. I am no lawyer, but I do know that the law regarding business practices and intellectual property is, to say the least, tricky. If I were in your shoes and contemplating opening a competing practice, I’d err on the side of claiming anything I had even partial input on was my idea. Who’s breaking the law in this case is really complex; it’s not a simple matter of one person cheating the other. That’s why I just dread the whole idea that you could actually end up in competition with your husband, with each of you having a lawyer to protect your interests against the other. I’m really relieved to hear that this won’t happen.
As I’ve said via private e-mail, I do think it might be a good idea to step back for a little bit, just to gain a bit of perspective and not rush into something to fill the void. But your last post indicates to me that you might have already addressed this issue.
Of course, keep us posted as to what you decide to do.
Dan
