Just cause your partner is more than well off doesn't mean you should surrender you identity, career, passion, no matter who you are. I mean sure, you can, but eventually even a boatload of money somewhere down the line ceases to fill the void of not working towards giving something you care about to the world. Seen my share of wealthy people close to me that aren't satisfied with life despite being able to go out and buy any material thing at any time.
Things and stuff are really similar to a high or buzz that numbs and distracts from the more important things in your mind/gut. Relationships, experiences, giving to others & personal accomplishments trump any fortune in the end.
Anyways, woo engagement. Fun times.
