We've been together for almost 5 years, and I still feel like I love her, but I find myself always wishing for time apart, and then feeling like I enjoy it far more when we are apart.

We got together in school and neither of us have a social life really. We're both freelancers living in the countryside, so there's not much opportunity to meet people or have space. I know she wants more of a social life, but she's also happy in the countryside and with the way life is going.

I'm not content at all though. I really feel like to progress at all and be happier, I need to actually build a social circle of like-minded people. Maybe even work in a company in a city for a while to develop my skills. I love the landscape and the outdoors, but I have a car for that. Probably doesn't help that I grew up in the country, her the city. Maybe the grass is always greener. Maybe the grass is always greener in relationships to, don't know what you've got 'til it's gone and all that. I just don't know.

I feel like I'd be much happier being single until I've actually built up my own life, but then it seems so selfish to throw away a 5 year life we've built together, for what could just be doubt.

I feel like I should be single so that I can develop my own life, but I would be happier with a social circle. I don't know how to move

I love her, but I feel like I've given up on the future to focus on myself in the present.
