My partner and I have been together for almost three years now. We both wanted to get married someday but our funds are not yet sufficient to make this happen. Right now, we're planning to start a new business together. We have everything ready but some of my family members are discouraging me to do it.

According to them, it's a risk if I will pursue with the business partnership. What if we eventually break-up? Now, I'm having second thoughts because they are correct. What do you think?
