I've been dating this girl for the past 4 months, but I've known her for a good 2 years. In the beginning, it was alright but now in the recent months I've managed to land myself a permanent job 8-4 and by the time I get home, I'm tired. 

She's the kind of girl that's full of energy, full of love. Unfortunately I'm of the avoidant/anxious attachment and I find it extremely difficult to get intimate with people. I fear one day she will get annoyed regardless because I just can't be intimate, despite liking the idea of a relationship. 

But going back to my first point, I'm tired when I get home (my job requires me to be extremely social and I'm quite an introverted person, so I need to recharge.) But at the same time, she demands (and quite honestly, I feel bad saying 'demands' because it's only natural to want your SO's attention) and I do try, but I find myself pushing her away, wanting my alone time back and truthfully? I feel like I don't want to be in a relationship anymore. Selfish as it might sound, I barely have enough time for myself, let alone her. I just end up being cranky and moody as a result. 

So, excuses aside the real question is whether it's just a case where I need to just try harder. 
She's a good person and she really, really loves me. Like she's really made it clear she feels deeply about me. I just don't have the same energy to devote back to her.

Leaving the job unfortunately isn't an option, I need the money it gives me otherwise I will end up homeless.

I'm too busy to keep up with the demands of my girlfriend. However, I do try. But I don't have enough time
