I'm 22 and have been dating a girl for the past 3 years. We've essentially been exclusive (although I had a couple random flings).
There are several things now that are making me want to not see her anymore. I'm not as attracted to her as much physically (she's chubby and it's not coming off after nearly a year).
The biggest problem however is that lately she's turned into a whining b*tch. Because of my career and my education, I no longer have a lot of time to spend with her. Lately, I've been really busy during the week especially (work+studying), and then on the weekend I have more time but sometimes just want to spend some time with friends, alone, etc.
This has produced incessant complaining/discussion about how she doesn't feel as close to me when we don't get together as much, etc, etc.
But the fact is: I need to focus on developing my career right now because it's very important to me that I become successful.
She is not career-focused right now and has a lot more time to just "hang out," so I understand why she would feel frusterated. She doesn't try to dissuade me from going for my dreams, but she also isn't very supportive of all the hard ass work it will/does take. But I know that if I don't work my ass off right now and get my goals accomplished I won't achieve my dreams.
So after several weeks of this, I don't feel she's going to suddenly become understanding of the situation, and quite frankly, it's pissing me off when someone b*tches to me. To top it off, sex has dwindled significantly lately. Basically, her interest level goes up and down.
I feel that it is only a matter of time before she simply gets with another guy who has more time, etc, to spend.
The problem is that I'm having problems dumping her, and I think it's because I am attached to the fake sense of security I get by knowing that we're going out, not because I really like her all that much. Every time I say to myself that I'm going to cut it off, I end up seeing her again, it goes good for a while, and then complaining comes up again. Plus sometimes I don't like thinking that some other guy is going to start nailing her.
I was wondering if any of you guys have been in similair situations like this and can give me some advice. Or maybe you have some advice anyway that you can share. I realize this is an issue and it needs to be resolved.
Thanks
