Ilan Zechory and Tom Lehman are, amongst other things, co-founders of the website formerly known as Rap Genius. They are also best friends. Sometimes it is hard to be these things, and sometimes they have fights. Now, they’re in couples therapy. That’s good!

According to the New York Times, the pair—there used to be three, you know—started seeing a therapist in Brooklyn together on a weekly basis after a big fight they had trying to catch a train to DC. Travel is stressful.

Apparently, Zechory and Lehman are not the only tech entrepreneurs to seek help. “Except for the sex,” (hah) “founders have the same interdependency as married couples,” Peter Pearson, a founder of the Couples Institute in Menlo Park, California, told the Times.

The duo’s dynamic does sound quite complex:

Mr. Lehman usually takes off his shoes at the start of a session, and sometimes he will poke a sock-covered toe into the cactus plant that sits on the coffee table, eliciting worrying noises from Mr. Zechory. Then they start into their latest personal and professional grievances.

“When you have no boundaries and you are totally enmeshed and it gets bad, it can be devastating,” Mr. Zechory said. “So the therapist is trying to work with us on that and figure out what types of boundaries are healthy.”

It’s always heartening to see young men reach out for help.
