She's told me I'm one of the reasons she's still here, but I can't help feeling like there's someone out there that would make her happier that I can. What should I do? Reply to this Question

 The fact she said you are one of the reasons she wants to be here clearly shows she doesnt want anyone knew and you are in fact very important to her.
If your girlfriend says things about not wanting to be alive often, maybe she needs to see a doctor as it sounds like she may be suffering from depression.

 AW! That is sad and it's serious! Are you sure you're not suddenly feeling that someone else is better for her because you are frightened and want to run from this situation? It's hard, but truly loving someone means being there through hard things and if your partner feels strongly enough to want to die, then she needs someone to count on right now. Did you even ask her what was going on, why she felt that way ? Did you create a comfortable atmosphere in where she can speak freely and you listen? It sounds like hell, it sounds like work, but suicide is serious! If you don't love her, like her or care, fine. Leave her, but at least talk to her. If she said you're the only reason she keeps living, you're the only person who she feels cares and who she's comfortable discussing such deep emotions with. At least be there and ask her why she feels so badly and if you can help. If you no longer care or love her, break it off easily and try to stay friends. It sounds like she needs someone who will listen and be reliable. You may be the only person she can find comfort in.

She's obviously very depressed, and she needs you to gently nudge her in the right direction to get better from it. Not seeing the point in living is a very dark mental state to be in. Trust me, I was like that before.
