When long-term collaborators lose intellectual intimacy

My research partner and I have been collaborating for five years and lately I feel like we're just going through the motions of our old dynamic instead of actually engaging with each other's ideas. We publish papers together and present at conferences but I'm not sure we're actually thinking together anymore and I don't know if she's noticed.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people have fallen into habitual patterns of working together without the genuine intellectual engagement that made their partnership valuable.
