When co-founders can't admit burnout to each other

My co-founder and I are both burned out but we keep pushing each other to work harder because we're afraid if one of us admits weakness the other will lose faith in the company. We're performing strength for each other while both falling apart, and I think our startup might fail because we can't be honest about what we need.
