Booking holiday with work changes on the horizon

My partner wanted to book a holiday for the autumn. We were looking at going away for October for a week. This would be out first post covid holiday. The last time we were away was pre covid.

I am nearly ready to book a holiday with him but there's something new happening now.

I am not happy in my job. I am severely miserable in my job. Its OK sometimes but I am working for a bully. Yesterday I did 14 hours in work and I'm only just a dogsbody doing everything and anything. If it was up to my boss I would only be allowed the time to eat a piece of food for a break and that would be it - back to work then.

I was so sick last night after my stint. It wasn't the first time I worked a stint like that and I can't work like that anymore. I don't ever get time off in lieu or an over time payment either. I hate it so much and I can't believe it's come to this. This will be my load for the summer ahead. Starting working the morning, working for a boss who will have more focus on going to parties and golf and holidays and meals out instead of relieving me of a day's or weeks work. I work in care and I need to rely on another person to come in and relieve me and that's not happening a lot of the time.

I need to leave and seek out somewhere else to work. Doing this, I won't be allowed a holiday or week off from a new work position. Or maybe I will be allowed time off but it won't be paid.

Basically I would love to get a break with my parentner but I don't know if now is a good time due to changes on the horizon. Should I be talking to him about this or am I overly anxious. Should I book a holiday with him and hope for the best?
