When business partners start protecting territory instead of collaborating

My business partner and I built our company from nothing and now we're successful enough that we're both financially comfortable but we've started protecting our individual territories instead of thinking about what's best for the business and neither of us has acknowledged this shift out loud. We used to finish each other's sentences about strategy and now we schedule formal meetings to discuss things we used to hash out over coffee.

What we've seen
