AITA for wanting to break up with my gf 5 months into our year long relationship.

For the sake of privacy we’ll call her Brittany, I’m 19 and my gf is 18. We met on instagram and a month later of talking we officially started dating as long distance bf and gf. The first 5 months were perfect until month 6 I got a job, started taking college courses, and started helping my parents financially.

Brittany’s parents are shitty to her and Brittany will unfortunately be kicked out of her house soon and end up homeless living in her car. Because her parents are planing to move to Mexico without her. So Brittany wants me to marry her, and move out with her and buy a house together because she wants a future with me and doesn’t want to be homeless. which I completely understand But I don’t want to, because I feel like I’m too young for marriage, we cant afford a house, and I have too many responsibilities but regardless of what I thought I still agreed to move out with her within the next year because I felt bad. I also told her that if for some reason I can’t move out with her I would support her in every way possible. To me it feels like she guilt tripping me into it because she’s keeps telling me her back story and saying nobody wants to be with and everybody’s leaves.

Before i got a job, and taking college courses. We would be on the phone for 10+ hours everyday. But now lately i only have time to talk on the phone for about 2-3 hours and text throughout the day while being available for emergencies. I send her updates, check on her, send pictures, and voice memos everyday and somehow that’s not enough for her. She will continue to beg plead and cry for more attention but my life has gotten busier and I simply don’t have all the time In the world anymore.

She complains that I’m not spending my money right. My mother has cancer and is struggling to pay rent, and my father is struggling to keep up with expenses. So I decided to help them out. I save half my check for me and my gf’s future and the other half goes to my parents. But she doesn’t agree with it and wants me to keep my entire paycheck for our future and let my parents struggle and figure it out like the adults they are. We have gotten in so many arguments about it but regardless of what she said I’m still helping my parents out because I’m still saving for me and Brittany’s future and helping my parents out at the same time so I see nothing wrong with but I was willing to compromise a little bit and give my parents a little less money just to shut her up.

She also complains how emotionless I am because she’s never seen me sad, mad, or have any other emotion than love and just being fine. But in reality she too emotional and it’s fucking annoying, I hate sensitive girls. She cry’s and gets upset about every single little thing. And gets even more upset when I’m not feeling what she’s feeling. I’ve explained to her multiple times that I don’t need to feel what you feel to make you feel better but she doesn’t agree. When Brittany gets upset it takes hours and hours to calm her down. It’s gotten to the point where she’s arguing with me every day about some bull shit. I’m constantly ignoring her calls because I already know 5 minutes in the conversation she’s mad at me. I’m constantly losing sleep arguing with her even though she knows I have to be up at 4:50AM for work. Also when she gets upset she branches off to cry about how everyone just leaves here, nobody likes her, calling herself ugly, wanting to commit suicide, and cutting herself. Which again feels like she guilt tripping me.

Brittany and I are a year into this relationship and Im sick and tired of dealing with the bullshit. I have fallen out of love and want out of this relationship because of these reasons. She is a great person and I have no doubt that she will take care of me in the long run, but is it really worth it? I really can’t deal with this anymore AITAH?
