How to address recognition and credit issues in creative partnerships

My creative partner and I have been collaborating for five years and lately I feel like they take credit for ideas that came from me, but when I try to bring it up they act like I'm being petty about something that should be fluid between us. I'm starting to resent our work together but I don't want to blow up a partnership that's otherwise meaningful to both of us.
