I hate your co-founder too ... and I've met many people that are like that. One of the things that's important to me is that the people around me are real. He seems to be so full of himself, that he can't control his ego. While a start-up founder has to have a lot of determination, they don't need to have an attitude.

So if you're miserable, find something else to make you happy. Just beware that many of the most brilliant technical people are going to have their own "tics" ... perhaps a set of closed-back headphones would help?

Finally, you should also ask yourself what he might be thinking about you ... it's a valid question. After this divorce happens (you've already decided), think about the traits that will make a good marriage next time.
