So a bit of context, there's this girl I'd been talking to casually for about 3 years. I always liked her but she had a bf during that time, well she broke up with him December last year and she reached out to me January this year. We started going out in late February and have been on a relationship since. She's my first gf and for the first few months things were great, but lately I've been feeling like this is more trouble than it's worth? I'm very emotionally numb due to childhood trauma and to be honest I don't feel strongly about most things, like I haven't cried in years and yesterday she called me during work because she gets very bad PMS and was crying and feeling very angry and shitty and I just couldn't think of anything else other than hanging up and go eat. She says she's a very emotional person but I have no point of reference with other women, so not sure if this is an issue with her specifically or just any woman in any relationship. I pay for everything which is fine but she has expressed desires of being a stay at home wife even though none of us wants to have kids, and while my income is high my QOL would drop significantly if I had to sustain 2 people, I just don't want to do it and I'm sure if I were to stick with it it would become a problem later on.
Am I being unreasonable? Do I have the wrong expectations about this relationship thing? Because I feel like I would be feeling the same regardless of who the girl was or how she was or how she looked, I'm 24 and spent basically all of my life just hanging out on my own and it's comfortable for me. I don't really vent or rant about much to her and so I don't feel like I get much out of being with her. I feel loved for sure but I mean if I have to do all of this just to get that that feels very transactional and retarded. Not sure what to do here, should I sitck with it?
