I know almost nobody else here seems to agree with your sentiment, but I do. This is my biggest fear, getting stuck in a relationship that prevents me from pursuing my passions in the way that I want. I want to be able to spend days hacking on things whenever I want.

I don't have specific advice for you, other than to say that I feel you on this, because I feel like this thread has been fairly one-sided thus far.
