Should I break up with my girlfriend?
We have been dating for a few years now, and I am not sure if we should continue or not. I have my own business which requires my time, but she doesn't want me to put the time in. She wants me to be with her all the time, and she will even call me at work and asks me to come and see her for a cup of coffee or something, which I don't and that ends up in a fight. She thinks working 10 - 11 hours a day is sufficient, yet I have friends who work regular jobs for about 10 - 12 hours a day, and a lot of them have something on the side, and may even be in a golf league or something. She doesn't understand that in order for me to get my busniess up and running, I need to put the time in up front, and then I will have time and money. On top of the time issue, we also have the money issue. Right now I really, really don't have any money. I basically pay the bills, and that is about it, she always wants to go out for dinner, even though her deep freeze, and cupboards, are completely full. When we go out for dinner, I'm not talking fast food, or using coupons, she wants red lobster, the keg, or outback steakhouse. She has nooo money worries, because even though I'm broke, and get to pay for everything we do, she gets to spend her money on her new car, new patio furniture, new lights for the house, new roof, new dishes, new clothes, new nick nacks, etc... She was spoiled by her father, and she seems to think that is what a man is for, to spoil her, and do what she needs him to do, because I am the one who fixes up her house, when she is buying all this stuff for it. She seems to think that is how a relationship should be, and I on the other hand, think that we should be a team. I thought it was just an expression, but I think that she really thinks, what is hers, is hers, and what is mine is hers. In the time we have been together, she may have bought dinner, at the most 10 times, and that is including my birthdays. Does she really care for me? I know she really loves me, but she wants me to spend all my money on her, she wants me to spend all my time with her, yet she won't let me do what is important, and that is work the business to the point of it being successful, and then I would have the time and money to spend on her. The business is looking promising, but I don't understand why she can't see that, or does she just not care about me enough, to let me do what I have to do?
