When business partners avoid addressing unequal contribution

My business partner and I have been splitting everything 50/50 for five years but now she's putting in way more hours and carrying more of the emotional weight and we're both pretending it's still equal when we know it isn't. We keep having surface-level conversations about workload but never address what's really happening underneath.

What we've seen

Your partnership is still called equal, but one of you is carrying far more of the load.
