Stray thought: I wonder if people who object to being a free therapist for their partner also object to being a free sex worker.

do you have any advice for how to do this without ending up in a position where your relationship is very one-sided outside of therapy-style feelings chats? for me the dynamic spills over, because one person ends up disproportionately attuned to the needs of the other.
I think my main advice is to talk about your feelings in both directions. This can (and probably should) talk about feelings of one-sidedness. If they are not in a position to hear your feelings, finding a way to work on that (possibly includes them seeing an actual therapist)

Also a general rule I have with talking about feelings is that it mostly shouldn't be venting and should be an actual discussion. Venting on occasion is fine and necessary, but it can't be the main activity.
