I also don't want the stress to hit a point where I start shitting blood (fun stress response of mine).

Then don't. Stressing to the point that you begin to shit blood is an unacceptable and intolerable response - one that certainly shouldn't be catered to if doing so results in canceling out an opportunity for you and your partner to get ahead.
As it's obvious that you aren't, I'm not arguing that you should be completely comfortable with the situation but I suggest you take and long and hard introspective look at yourself and consider whether or not your inability to deal with stress is the real issue here.
After all, if you two trust each other as much as you say you do, what's the big deal?
