1) Anything gained? What about the people, the lessons, and the experience? No new insights about yourself and the world? You didn&#x27;t have any fun doing it? Didn&#x27;t meet your future spouse?<p>No money no gain, is really a horrible philosophy to live by.<p>2) If you kept track of what you loaned the company or any assets you bought, then sure, ask for it back. If not, next time keep a tab.<p>3) You&#x27;re deciding on an equity split now? You&#x27;re not really co-founders until you&#x27;ve figured out who owns what %. So it sounds like you didn&#x27;t even have a company yet. But now you want to claim ownership because you are quitting? That&#x27;s backwards.<p>4) No one owes you anything for your time and effort. Just imagine if she tried to bill you for hers.<p>Entrepreneurs do not get paid by the hour.<p>If I were you, I&#x27;d have a heart to heart and just honestly tell her why you&#x27;d like to move on. Entitlement will lead to an argument, but vulnerability hardly ever does. But if you&#x27;re both butting heads because you both feel entitled then that was probably part of the problem. And seeing you don&#x27;t have any legal ownership documents, her leverage is as good as yours. Unless you&#x27;re willing to fight in court, it&#x27;s a toss up. No one wins. And until you have ownership documents, she can&#x27;t claim ownership against you, nor can you against her. So you both can walk away with non-exclusive rights to 100%. Why bar each other? If she wants rights, then ask her to buy you out. Come up with a round number, and that&#x27;s that.
