When business partnerships strain close friendships

My best friend and I started a business together three years ago and it's doing well but we've never actually talked about money or what happens if one of us wants out and now there's this weird tension every time we have to make decisions about growth or spending. We both keep acting like everything's fine but I can feel us getting careful around each other in a way we never used to be.
