When business partnerships between friends need honest conversations about the future

My best friend and I started a small business together three years ago and we've never actually talked about what success looks like or what we'd do if one of us wanted out. Now she's having a baby and I can tell we're both wondering if this partnership still makes sense but neither of us wants to be the one to say it first.
