I skimmed over this, but dropping my two cents in.
1 - the business wasn't doing as well as you hoped. Sounds like you need to pivot the idea if these CEOs aren't interested. Good to know.
2 - you're going back into the slow lane to get your self financially stable. No shame in that.
3 - you're communicating with your partners and not being shy about where you are in your life right now - financially and emotionally. You're ahead of the curve.
So all in all, good job. Good adulting.
