When creative partners fall into fixed roles that stop working

My writing partner and I have been collaborating for two years and we've developed this dynamic where I generate ideas and she refines them, but lately every time I pitch something she immediately starts reshaping it before I've even finished explaining what I'm trying to explore. We're both aware it's happening but we don't know how to change the pattern without throwing off our whole creative chemistry.
