And also, even if you break up with her, YOUR LIFE WILL GO ON. You are a seperate entity. You may feel sad, you may cry...you may look back on it 5 years from now and realize that the relationship was bad.

I'm reading a lot from you about how you are dedicated to meeting her needs...but is she meeting yours? I don't see much in your messages about how she is dedicated to you. "Love" is more than selflessly dedicating yourself to somebody else. "Love" is when they return it with just as much dedication. You may love her, but I'm not so sure she's as dedicated to you. She's not dedicated enough to NOT flirt with another man, that's for sure.

I'm sure that you're a good, selfless person. Unfortunately some people seek good, selfless people to be something safe to fall back on. She may not be *conscious* of taking advantage of you.

But look at yourself in the mirror and say "I will continue to have a life even without her." See how it feels. If your initial reaction is emotional turmoil, then you're too wrapped up in her and not thinking of yourself as a seperate person.
