We worry that if I give it up to be with him that I will feel regret which will turn into resentment towards him.

I don't know that I would expect them to give that up to be with me. I would think that, at some point, they would grow to resent me for it. Like I said, that is a
huge life decision. I want to travel, and would resent a partner who didn't want to travel with me. I love animals (I mean, not having cats is sort of a deal breaker since I've had them--not the same ones--for almost 40 years and am not giving mine up for a man) and I would resent a partner who didn't want them. This is a far bigger thing than both of those combined. It is on par with religion or like, the decision to get married or just live as life partners.
