When creative roles blur in collaborative projects

My collaborator and I are working on this graphic novel and we agreed they'd handle writing while I'd do art, but now they keep giving me visual direction that feels like micromanaging, and I've started making story suggestions that probably overstep our original roles. Neither of us is wrong but we're both frustrated and the boundaries have gotten messy.
