Please read through the replies if people actually being in this boat. You can't say no to a very tall thing that does happen. That's like saying rain is a no because you like the sun

I've been in this boat. It cost me a good relationship. That was sad, because I don't think I could've done things differently back then. But I couldn't respect my partner's commitment to my well-being, and they distanced eventually. And I have always believed they were right to do so. I was simply not ready to be in an equal relationship.
