When creative partnerships face unequal recognition

My creative partner and I have been collaborating for three years and we work well together, but lately I've been getting more recognition and opportunities than they have, and there's this weird tension we're both pretending isn't happening. I don't want to lose what we have but I also don't want to hold myself back, and I don't know how to address this without making it worse.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two collaborators discover that external validation can threaten internal equity even when no one did anything wrong.
