When business partners develop unequal emotional labor dynamics

My business partner and I started this company with equal vision but somewhere along the way I became the one who handles all the difficult conversations with clients, vendors, and even between us, and she's become conflict-avoidant in a way that's making me resentful. We never talked about this dynamic shift and now I don't know how to bring it up without sounding like I'm attacking her character.
