When business partners develop unequal decision-making roles

My business partner and I started this company on the promise that we'd be equals but over the past year I've been making all the real decisions and he seems relieved not to have to, and we both pretend this isn't happening. We've created this weird dynamic where I resent carrying everything and he resents being sidelined but neither of us will name it.

What we've seen
