They weren't rivals but Hepaestus probably didn't like Aphrodite that much because he knew that she had cheated on him repeatedly.
Hephaestus has several rivals all of whom take issue with his ugly looks. Cheif amongst these are Ares and Hera his mother. Ares and him are rivals over the affections of Aphrodite, to put it another way Aphrodite is married to Hephaestus and because he is ugly has several affairs with Ares. Hephaestus has mommy issues because she has attempted to kill on multiple occasions because if his looks, this only made it work. I know there are other myths that contradict what I have here, but that's the nature of Greek mythology. I hope this was helpful, thanks.
