Failure to communicate is reason enough to call it quits. I'm having the same problem with my cofounder. He refuses to work via phone calls--it has to be email only. I'm in the process of withdrawing my financial investment from the company and leaving to start my own version of the same company.

> I'm having the same problem with my cofounder. He refuses to work via phone calls--it has to be email only.

he wants to have in written everything you say so he has stuff on you. in other words, he doesn't trust you. otherwise, a follow up email with notes about phonecall agreements would be more than enough.

I cant and wont do phone calls for many things. Everything has to be by email or text like skype, ect. Nothing about trust and purely about documenation so it can be referenced word for word later.
