When creative partnerships lose their spark but neither person addresses it

My creative partner and I have been collaborating for five years and we used to push each other to take risks, but lately every project feels safe and predictable and I think we're both scared to say the work isn't exciting us anymore. We keep saying yes to opportunities that pay well but don't challenge us, and I can feel us growing apart artistically.
