Forget this piddly crap. I remember your last thread, you have a franchisable business on your hands that you don't have ownership over. You have sales processes that you can easily replicate, you have operational processes. Start your own chain and ditch your partner, Ray Kroc style. Your partner is happy with what he has, he's happy to run his little store and get fat off burgers and domestic beer. You're a young guy, you can shake up a mature industry and become ridiculously wealthy in the process.
All makes sense to me, reject her or reject the deal, if you can't make that work, put it on salary and put up 50 for 50. Might take a great degree of influencing since you're talking about the wife, could take a bit of persuading to your partner to make it clear that she be in a role of the business that can be replaced by someone else down the line (and be paid in an identical manner).
