How to handle competitive dynamics with close collaborators

My research partner and I have been working together for two years and we're both up for the same promotion and neither of us has acknowledged this out loud but it's changed how we share information and collaborate on projects and I can feel the tension but I don't know how to bring it up without making it worse.

More people experience this than they realize.

Unacknowledged competition is undermining a previously collaborative relationship through information hoarding and strategic positioning.
