When inheritance creates wealth imbalance between partners

I inherited a significant amount from my aunt and my partner didn't inherit anything from their family and there's this weird tension now about whether this money is 'ours' or 'mine' that we dance around but never address directly, and it's affecting how we make decisions about everything from dinner to vacation plans.
