When creative collaborators have fundamentally different artistic visions

My best friend and I have been writing a novel together for three years and we've reached the point where we fundamentally disagree about what story we're trying to tell, but neither of us wants to admit that our creative visions might be incompatible. We keep having these polite conversations about 'craft decisions' when really we're fighting about what art should do in the world.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that their deepest beliefs about the purpose and meaning of creative work are in conflict, but they're avoiding the honest conversation that might save or end their collaboration.
