When creative partnerships face unequal external recognition

My creative collaborator and I have been working together for years and we're both getting more recognition now, but they're getting invited to bigger opportunities and I'm not, and neither of us knows how to talk about it without sounding jealous or making it weird between us. We've always shared everything equally but the world isn't treating us as equals anymore.
