When business partners avoid discussing long-term alignment and exit strategies

My business partner and I have been scaling our agency for two years and we've never talked about what happens when one of us wants out, and now I'm starting to fantasize about leaving but I don't know if that's because I'm burned out or because we've built something I don't actually want. We keep having surface-level check-ins about the business but avoid the deeper question of whether we still want the same things.

What we've seen

You fantasize about leaving the business but have never dared ask if you both still want it.
