When couples feel competitive about freelance rates and income

My partner and I are both freelancers and we've been sharing a spreadsheet to track our rates and client negotiations, but lately I've been feeling competitive with them in a way that's making me uncomfortable. I don't know if I should be more open or less open about my money stuff.

What we've seen

Two people discover that transparency about money creates unexpected emotional dynamics that challenge their relationship.
