When creative partnerships lose momentum but neither person wants to be the first to quit

My best friend and I started a creative project together three years ago and it's become this thing where neither of us wants to keep going but we're both afraid to say it out loud because it might mean we're giving up on something that used to matter so much to both of us. We keep having these surface-level check-ins where we pretend everything is fine but I can feel us both pulling away.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You're both protecting each other from a conversation that might actually free you both.
