When business partners have unequal effort but equal ownership

My business partner and I have been splitting everything 50/50 for two years but now she's putting in maybe 30% of the work while I'm burning out trying to keep us afloat and we both pretend this isn't happening. I think she knows I know but we've built this whole dynamic around avoiding conflict and I don't know how to break it without breaking us.

What we've seen

You're doing far more than your equal partner but pretending it's fine because facing it might end everything.
