My business partner and I started this auto repair shop four years ago and we've been splitting everything 50-50 but he's been taking on way more customer-facing work while I handle the complex diagnostics and we both know our contributions aren't equal anymore but neither of us wants to be the one to bring up changing our partnership structure. We keep having these careful conversations around it but never actually address what's really happening and I can feel the resentment building on both sides.
More people experience this than they realize.
Two people built something together under assumptions that no longer match reality, and the fear of disrupting their partnership is preventing necessary conversations about equity and contribution.
