Often in a relationship as one person starts to grow. The other half will try to pull the person back. And the isssue of growth can be anything from getting a new job, losing weight, stopping smoking, even learning a new skill such as speed reading.
Could it be that you are is somewhat of the same situation? And that your partner is not willing to let you grow.
Perhaps a good counsellor could help you with this. In issues of time managment, relationship skills such as confict resolution, negotiation.
You do have the right to grow in self love, self choice, health, freedom and truth.
Having been there a long time ago. Myself I would seek a few sessions with a counsellor.
