When business partners avoid addressing unequal work contributions

My business partner and I have been splitting everything 50/50 for two years but I've been doing 70% of the actual work and we both know it but neither of us has figured out how to talk about it without blowing up the whole thing. We keep having these polite conversations about 'workload balance' that go nowhere.
