How business partnerships handle unplanned role divisions

My business partner handles all our client relationships because they're naturally better at that stuff, but I'm realizing that means I don't have the same connection to our work or the same sense of what we're actually creating for people. We never explicitly decided on this division but now it feels entrenched and I don't know how to change it without seeming ungrateful or incompetent.
