How to address creative conflict when both partners avoid confrontation

My creative partner and I are developing a fashion line together and we both have strong opinions about every detail, but we've fallen into this pattern where instead of arguing directly about our differences, we passive-aggressively implement our own visions and then present them as 'options' to each other. We're both conflict-averse but the indirect approach is making everything take twice as long and creating more tension than honest disagreement would.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The avoidance of direct creative conflict often manifests as indirect power struggles that are more damaging than the honest disagreements they seek to prevent.
