I don't know what to do

I'm 42 y/o and feel stuck. I'm a medical professional and have been working constantly for 18 years in my field. I have always thought I would find someone that would take some financial burden off me at some point. I have a very sweet partner that does not understand the stress I deal with at my job. I am the main bread winner and they are a realtor. They barely make money some years. I am exhausted and burnt out at my job and I don't know what to do. I love my partner, but I am finding it harder and harder to stay with them having such an unequal monetary relationship. I need a more supportive partner and I am starting to think this person is not what I want or need. Am I being ridiculous thinking that? Am I better off alone? My work and life are hard enough, taking care of someone financially feels like too much. I need advice
