Ok, this is a great start! What career exactly? What sort of schooling would it require? It sounds like you've got some reflecting to do about what your goals are and how you plan on achieving them. Maybe you could start putting together a few different scenarios and work out the logistics...might be fun AND take the focus on your partner.

(I'm a big fan of plans...can you tell?)

As for "giving it another couple of years"...do you really need to put THAT much time into this when you've already expressed some serious reluctance to do so? How about a shorter timeline, like 3 months, and then re-evaluate? I know it's tricky to do, but try to give yourself permission to call it quits if that's what you feel you need to do.
