Resignation dilemma!

So, I was in the same job for 9 years… liked it quite a lot, but wasn’t really progressing and didn’t feel valued although liked the place and the people. Took a leap of faith, applied for a new job and got it!!! Started new job… hate the work! It’s mostly complex data entry and I’m really bad at it! Thought I’d be ok as I’ve always done admin but this is just tedious and frustrating and the office is so quiet and impersonal. Nobody talks!!! So on a down day after work, regretting my choice to leave my job of 9 years, I applied for job number 3.. and got it! But I’m having a real dilemma over leaving. It sounds good and more varied, but it’s a longer commute and slightly longer hours and I’m getting real anxiety over making another mistake and inflicting my misery, unintentionally, on my lovely partner who is so patient and kind, but will undoubtedly be sick of hearing me belly aching about work. I’m sick of me too 🙄 Do I stay at job no 2 a bit longer, where the work isn’t a good fit but I’m kind of in a settled routine, or go for job no 3 with the longer commute and hope that it works out better this time! Whatever I do this has to be last time I change for a while as I’m worried about becoming a job hopper. Any thoughts appreciated.
