I agree with the others----She "loved" you when you were taking her on adventures around the world, but now that reality has hit home and you are struggling with paying the bills, she has already moved on. Yes, I think you need to face the fact that she has already moved on, perhaps not in her words, but in her actions.

Find a girl who feels loved and appreciated with just the little things----a bubble bath, romantic dinner, flowers, or a random love note. This is the type of girl who won't take you for granted, and when you do eventually take her on a trip somewhere special, she will be over the moon!

As for your current partner, she seems to love what you do for her, or is it that you do it for her? I can't help but think that a large part of the reason she was with you was because you took her around the world. If those trips never took place, I somehow doubt she would still be with you.

She is telling you exactly how she feels, now it is up to you whether or not you listen to her. She has told you that she isn't in love with you... Uhm, was she ever in love with you? Don't infer her follow up statement of "do people ever stay in love?" to mean that at one point she was in love with you. It may be a shading of words in order to throw you off....which is what I'm guessing.

The thing is that true love oftentimes doesn't really set in until after the romantic love wears down. Its so easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of romance that the deeper feelings of true love go neglected/unnoticed or even uncultivated. Is there a deeper sense of love between the two of you? Somehow, I am doubting so... Someone who truly loves you isn't going to jump ship as soon as tough times set in. Someone who truly loves you will weather the storm with you. Unfortunately, this girl seems like a fair weather lover.
Thanks for this!
