@James Wise i would stay out of personal affairs too but its one of those things, that tells you about the partner as a person. Just like, i am not you wouldn't partner with some one who is a drug dealer and human trafficker.
@Scott Nipp I feel the same way and somewhat convinced that i am going to stay away from the deal, we will see. The term "good father" was used because the child and his wife has no idea about his "affair". So as far as his parenting goes, he is doing everything a parent should do.
The fact that you understand, my motivation to do the deal is because its good deal and profitable for both of us is only reason i am even talking about it, and the doubt i have is because if **** hits the fan, is he gonna be fair with me when he can't be honest with his wife?
@Account Closed The wife isn't aware of cheating and i agree, sometimes people can be in a bad marriage but very ethical in other relations such as work, business.
@Daren H. i really think as far as this deal, it will go fine as its very straight forward. The moral issue and all this comes in place just incase something goes unexpected, how will be act then. You know the situations when you really want all parties to be fair?
@Bradley Bogdan i trust him Brad and i don't consider him bad person either. The only thing is, what if? you know what if, that one situation where you are at a mercy of ethics and not contracts.
@Karen Margrave Point noted, but i can't throw that friendship away just like that. Why? I don't know. Its a bad spot to be in.
Anyways, thanks for the responses guys. I will update the thread if and when there is progress in the deal. Very excited generally about the business these days.
