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.

The current trend (still hanging on from decades ago) is a different saying than what it used to be. Now it's "When the going gets tough, the weak and narcissistic bail and get going". 🤷.
You have to decide..... would she bail on you if the situation was reversed? One doesn't know for sure usually.

I can guarantee you this, if you think 1 year is a long time in a relationship to support someone that you supposedly want to have a relationship with, then I agree with @MarieUK when she says she thinks you'll be alone in your 60s. In my experience there are no quick fixes in relationships except the ones that usually destroy them. I don't hear anything about emotional support for her all I hear is a worry about money support. When said girlfriend gets a whiff of that, you won't have to worry about saying goodbye. 🤷 (ymmv)... but i doubt it.
.BTW.... if you don't want her and if she likes really older men that are wanting a long term meaningful relationship, have her come on here and look me up please.
