I've made her aware of my need for space and she knows how I am. The problem for us is that we are very much opposites. She is very extroverted and feels she needs to see me more, she wants a lot of attention and she wants someone who is willing to come out with her and her friends on a regular basis. I tried being that person for her but I found it exhausting even when I wasn't as busy as I am now.

The one thing I have not talked to her about is marriage, at least not in a long time. We used to talk about it a lot but not so much since it's been like this. She knows what she wants, she certainly does want marriage and kids in the future, whether it's with me or not. I have been scared to tell her that I'm not sure I want that future anymore, but you're right and I know I really should tell her.
