How to address recognition imbalances in creative partnerships

My creative partner and I have been collaborating for five years but since they got more recognition than me for our last project I've been resentful in ways that are poisoning our work and I can't tell if I'm being petty or if there's something legitimate about how credit gets distributed between us. The dynamic feels too fragile to name directly.
