Hello.
I've already made a few posts about my bumpy relationship, and I would like to talk about my current situation.
Let me give you a quick resume: I'm living in Poland, as a Belgian, with my Polish girlfriend. She's in her final year at school, and I have an (underpaid) job. I'm not happy at the moment for several possible reasons: missing home/family/friends, big arguments with her about marriage/future, unsatisfied at the job, etc ...
Lately, more than ever, I've been imagining, even considering breaking up with her. I'm just really unhappy at the moment and there are several reasons for these feelings.
I feel smothered, because we are spending most of our spare time together. She's very dependant on me, many things she doesn't want to do out of her own, unless I do some serious convincing (e.g. scared to go to the library, talking to a friend of mine for thesis-advice, things like that). Because of all this I'm getting annoyed often, lately quicker than usual, which sometimes leads to fights.
She's not grown-up in my opinion. When we have a fight she is acting childish, giving childish arguments, doing childish things. Sometimes during a fight she gets incredibly hysterical, picks her stuff and goes outside (in the evening), only to come back 5 minutes later and being 5 times more hysterical because I didn't run after her like a puppy.
Our 'future' is often an issue as well. Honestly, atm I don't see any future for us. I don't see us marry, having kids etc. I'm thinking ahead a month or something. She on the other hand has it all layed out: marriage (asap!), kids, staying with me for always etc .. I can't make such commitment.
When I'm with my friends from Belgium, or family (be it when I visit Belgium, or online). Or when I'm watching/reading news from my home country, a feeling of melancholy tends to hit me. I notice that I'm enjoying discussions with my Belgian friends/colleagues a lot more than with her. It just feels different.
Anyway, these are just a few of the things that are bothering me, driving me to a break-up.
But then when I'm thinking about the break-up itself, a few things are still scaring me.
First of all, I don't know how she would react to it. She's so dependant on me, and she's so fragile. We almost broke up a few times already, however during the huge fight leading up to that she would get hysterical and would try to kill herself. This always lead to a not-breakup. Also her crying during such times made me unable to go through with it. Basically I don't know what will happen. Would she kill herself? If i would do it now, would she even manage to finish her thesis and graduate, and be the teacher she always dreamed herself of being? Would she get over it?
Another thing that bothers me is the thought of a future without her. I know I would get over it. I can take a hit emotionally. However something that's on my mind and which I have a hard time imagining is the thought of her with someone else in the future. For some reason this feels so weird. Is this normal? Does this mean anything?
Also, since my home is abroad, what should I do? Leave all my stuff here and just jump on a plane? Arrange it so I can take my stuff home somehow by some car? Assuming she won't make a scene or do something crazy.
What to do? Please tell me what you think about it. Thanks
