Do I have to break up with my gf because she is unemployed and seems unable to find work?

My gf was fired from her job last year on May 1. Her parents currently support her. She in unable to provide anything in our relationship financially and everything we do I have been paying for. I want to do things.. things like travel… and buy a home and move on with adult life.

She is a good girl from a good family. She is young and smart too. I don’t want to leave her but I’m starting to feel compelled.

How old is she? Lives with her parents and cant keep a job? I think you might need to find someone more on your level, no offence but even though money isnt the most important thing i think realistically its nice to have a partner who can contribute to finances especially how expensive life is at the minute. I wouldnt want to work my butt off to support my partner who contributes nothing to the relationship. Would make me feel taken advantage of.

@DarkSideoftheMoon she’s about your age.

@Muthafukajones listen. Dont ever settle for less out of fear for being alone. Being alone is much better than settling for someone you arent connecting with. If you are seeing those red flags than go. Money isnt the most important thing but certain things arent aligning and you know shes not the one listen to ur heart
