Thanks for starting this. It's a hard balance many of us are tackling, mostly by ourselves. Looking forward to see what comes out of it.

At the time, the book helped me develop a new way to see and receive the world. I then applied that into my own life to shape what type of ideas and projects I'd go on to pursue. It helped me find a type of clarity in where I'd focus my energy in the areas I believed in. And looking back, along with other things, I'm able to source the book as an important stepping stone to how I approach my work today.

Here are few that have influenced my work:

The Art of Doing Science and Engineering: Learning to Learn - Richard Hamming

The Timeless Way of Building - Christopher Alexander

The Humane Interface - Jef Raskin

The Visual Display of Quantitative Information - Edward Tufte

The Art Spirit - Robert Henri

Define the separation between your personal and professional life clearly. It's not a shitty thing to do.

I don't have any recommendations for which action to take next. But do try to speak to him honestly and open up to each other as deeply as you can not only to find out what action you should take next, but to come to a decision together.

I've felt similar, feel free to email me if you'd like to talk about what we're working on.
