When business partners avoid addressing equity imbalances

My business partner and I agreed on a 50-50 split two years ago but I've been carrying 80% of the operational load and we both know it but neither of us wants to be the one to bring up changing our equity arrangement. We keep having surface-level check-ins about workload but never address the fundamental imbalance that's eating at our partnership.
