With respect, unless you have kids then you need to do what’s right for you. If your partner is good for you then s/he will support you. Resentment isn’t the key to a happy relationship either.
The majority (not all) of people who have actually done LH and SH will say they’ve had a better all round quality of life on long haul. That’s mirrored in seniority lists in airlines that have the option of both.
Beware of people who are stuck in SH only airlines claiming that you’ll be divorced, broke and cancer ridden by 42 if you even consider long haul. Many of them are just trying to convince themselves.
