Me [25M] and her [25F] have been dating on and off for about 3.5 years. She has a tendency to focus all of her attention on one person and has always had trouble making/keeping friends. I am the kind of person that values their personal time, though, and it is really hard on both of us that she doesn't have anyone else to hang out with or talk to. To make matters worse, I have been very busy with 2 part-time jobs and school and I usually work 6-7 days a week. She is currently unemployed, though she'll being going to back to a job she hates this fall because she hasn't been able to find anything else.

She has been complaining a lot lately about how she always feels alone, and I have the exact opposite problem. I never feel alone because she is frequently emailing or texting me (often about unimportant things). Even when we don't spend that much time together, I feel like my whole life has been taken over by the relationship because I am always dealing with it. I never get any time away from it. My other relationships have suffered for it, as I often feel so emotionally drained from dealing with relationship stuff that I find it difficult to interact with others.

To cap it all off, her dog will likely have to be put to sleep soon and her sister and her uncle with down syndrome have both been in the hospital. Her sister is fine now, but her uncle is in rough shape. I am trying to be there for her because that is some serious shit to be going though, but I feel overwhelmed. I already feel emotionally drained and I don't feel like I can keep being there for her in the way that I should.
