(M20) I am Losing Feelings for Girlfriend (F20) ; Worn out

Hey all,

My girlfriend and I have been dating for around 8 months. When we started dating in the summer, things were great. I was able to balance two summer classes, a full time job, and family/friendships to an extent. But it came at the cost of my physical and mental health. Now that we’ve been in the school year and lm working two jobs, have a full time girlfriend, am the leader of multiple clubs, and have 3 classes, it’s kinda kickin my butt. My girlfriend has been complaining for months that I don’t spend a lot of time with her. And I don’t. Maybe a few hours each day or every other day. I’m very mentally and physically worn out and feel like I have no desire or joy to be with my girlfriend. I find myself tempted to cheat or hang out with other girls. We don’t have intercourse and haven’t in a long time. She has anger issues that she said she’ll work on but really hasn’t. She also is not very supportive of my future career goals and has very different opinions on where to live and how many kids to have and such if we get married one day. I have talked to her about some of these things and usually she expressed disapproval but I don’t bother getting into an argument, I’m too mentally exhausted. I want to really talk to her about the future of our relationship but her mom has cancer and is struggling greatly and I would feel awful breaking up with her. We have been through hell together. I don’t know what to do. This is longest I’ve had a girlfriend.

TLDR: I’m worn out and don’t have time for my girlfriend.
