Sounds like you hate it despite the pay. Retiring early is a nice idea but maybe being happy now would be worth working longer.
Have you talked to your partner? "... I can't expect my partner to move back with me..." Maybe he's more burned out then you think.
I have no idea how you spend your money from your post but maybe take a long look at your life style. Try to figure out what makes you happy and spend time on it. The less you spend the less you need to make to retire early. You may have heard this all before, but I like this post. https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/01/13/the-shockingly-si...
As an aside, I've recently (re-)discovered I enjoy manual labor so have been doing yard work more. Something about it is meditative. The tasks take a long time but are simple and don't require thinking. Looks good when it is done and feels extra rewarding to actually have to sweat to get it done.
