When business partners develop unequal emotional labor in decision-making

My business partner and I started this company as equals but somewhere along the way I became the one who handles all the difficult conversations and decisions while she focuses on the creative work and I'm starting to resent it but I don't know how to bring it up without sounding like I'm attacking her contributions.
