Context: I'm recently going through a really tough period of self-reflection regarding my relationship of two years ending, because I come to the realization that I would have to give up my current career trajectory and move my whole life to be with him.
I used to gloss over it and convince myself that I didn't mind, because he's a great person and I really do care about him. But I'm coming to realise that I may come to resent him someday for it, and have broken it off with him stating that. I don't want to waste his time any further, and we parted on difficult but amicable terms.
I don't want to do the same thing to anyone else and cause hurt in the long term, and would like some self-help books on similar topics. I'm someone who is lifestyle-driven rather than career-driven, and moving back would have meant I had to give up access to my major hobbies (which are all people centric or volunteer centric with my local communities). I want to learn to prioritize those points as activities that make life worth living for me, rather than consider them luxuries I can do without.
Is this a genre of self-help book at all? Or is there an adjacent subgenre that I should be looking at?
