My Business Partner Never Contributes Financially 😤💸

I'm really struggling with my business partner situation and need some advice. I (39M) grew up poor and have been incredibly frugal my whole career, building up $1.2M through careful saving and planning to retire at 45. My business partner (46F) comes from wealth - her family gave her $3M. Even though she has way more money than me, I end up covering 99% of our business expenses. Office dinners, client entertainment, equipment purchases - it all comes out of my pocket. Last year alone, I spent $60K on business expenses that should have been split. Whenever I try to discuss splitting costs fairly, she just doesn't get it. She grew up expecting others to handle the finances. I'm seriously considering dissolving our partnership because at this rate, I'll have to push my retirement back 10 years! 😔 Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? How do you handle a partner who won't contribute their fair share? #BusinessPartnership #WorkplaceFinances #CareerAdvice #JobCareer
