I'm a 22-year-old female, and I'm uncertain about whether to continue my relationship with my 23-year-old girlfriend.
Here’s a rewritten version of your text: To provide some context, we connected online in 2017 while I was living in the UK and she was in Australia. For years, we communicated through messages and FaceTime, and finally, in 2023, I made the trip to Australia to meet her in person. By the time I arrived, we both realized we had feelings for each other, so we quickly became a couple. We started making plans for me to move there with a partner visa, and everything seemed magical, just as I had hoped. However, I’ve had an unsettling feeling in my gut throughout this experience. Despite being in Australia, I find it hard to enjoy my time here. We've taken road trips and visited different states, but my feelings remain unchanged—I just don't like it here. I’m also facing challenges in my relationship with my girlfriend, who has a traumatic background due to past abuse and is autistic. Living with her can be difficult at times; she tends to be messy, disorganized, and struggles with personal hygiene. I've addressed these issues with her multiple times—at least three times each month—but while she promises to improve, nothing seems to change. She often expects me to manage all our responsibilities, such as buying, servicing, and selling our car, handling bills, making bookings, dealing with technology, and building furniture. The list goes on. She works part-time in a restaurant and frequently complains about being tired. Just recently, after a three-hour shift, she broke down in tears when I asked her to take care of the dishes she’d left from two nights prior. It’s these little things that add up all the time. I'm constantly picking up after her; after she makes coffee in the morning, I'm the one who cleans up the mess of spilled coffee and sugar. I even bought us a new washing machine, but she leaves wet clothes in it, and the kitchen is never cleaned unless I do it. She rarely offers to help with anything. Our intimacy has also dwindled; despite my efforts to initiate, she often brushes me off, claiming she’s too tired or responds with a lack of enthusiasm, thinking that the bare minimum is enough. I long to feel wanted and cared for as well, and to have someone willing to put in the effort for me. I find myself feeling angry all the time, and nothing seems to bring me happiness here. I left everything behind to come to Australia, believing I was following a solid plan. Although my upbringing wasn't ideal, I'm determined to work toward a better future, but I’m starting to question whether she fits into that vision. It’s draining. I love her, which complicates my feelings and makes the idea of leaving even harder. Yet, being around her has become so exhausting that I often find myself looking forward to her going to work just so I can catch my breath. What should I do? If I decide to end the relationship, I'm uncertain about what my next steps would be.
