So this is the story of my relationship...

I met my girlfriend at work. We became good friends working together. She was going through a tough time with her then, husband. She was planning on leaving him, and at the time I was trying to just be a good friend. We soon became attracted to each other, and after she seperated from her husband we started dating. Mind you it was very soon, probably only a couple weeks. I know it sounds crazy, but we fell for each other quickly. So here we are 2 years later, we've had an apartment together for almost a year. She has two children, 3 and 8.(from her marriage.) Her father and stepmother have never wanted to meet me because they blame me for the divorce. Her mom hates me, although she atleast fakes nice with me, but I'm relatively perceptive. Her kids are starting to stress me out quite frequently lately, whining, complaining about food, etc. I know that's how kids are, and I'm a horrible person, but I'm being honest. I do love her but lately have been craving my independence again. Not that there are other women, there aren't. I just want to travel and see the world, and do those selfish things while I'm still young. I don't know how to talk to her about it because I don't want to lose her, but I do want to pursue this thought. I guess I'm worried if I do this I'll lose my "one." I don't know. And yes I realize it's a package deal. I just would love to get someone elses perspective on the matter. By the way my age is 23 and hers 30. Her life is her kids. My life is me.... Should I stay or should I go?

Leave he. It's clear now that you were in no way ready for a relationship like this, and to stay and try to hang on when you know it's not what you want will only make things worse. Leave her, and never look back.
