When business partners avoid discussing unequal contributions

My business partner and I started with a 50/50 split three years ago but I've been doing 70% of the work for the last year and we both know it but neither of us has brought it up because we're afraid it will destroy what we've built. We keep saying 'we' when describing accomplishments but I can see in her face that she knows and I know that she knows I know.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are trapped in a performance of equality while living the reality of imbalance, each protecting the other from a conversation that might save the partnership.
