Extremely tough position with relationship
Post Body

I (M30) met my girlfriend (F33) about a year and a half ago. We hit it off so well, and literally could not stop laughing, playing, talking together.

I really felt I had found the one, had never felt so loved, nor felt so much enjoyment spending time with another.

Slowly I learned about her various physical and mental health problems, most notably strong social anxiety, fibromyalgia, and PMDD.

We have had a really challenging time working out what is best for her to accomodate her health situation, and to this day lack any clear road map.

Prior to us meeting my lifestyle was highly mobile, constantly on the road, meeting new people, staying in their homes, hippie/traveler lifestyle. I also did a fair amount of volunteering with organic agriculture. So even in not knowing exactly what she needs it seems any of the options would be somewhat of a sharp turn for me.

So here is where it gets a bit tricky, is we spent a year mostly not moving and surprisingly I was pretty content day to day, just enjoying our time together. I would feel highly restricted when I got the urge to see more of the world, but all in all living with her is a lot more enjoyable than traveling. Higher highs and lower lows for sure, but most of the time we were just having fun.

Finally we attempted traveling together, where I really was even more frustrated because of how much we needed things modified and I honestly just wanted to go alone to scratch my itch.

But she's anxious about me being away too long, not interested in some kind of thing where I travel half the year and live together the other half.

I never imagined I would travel forever and always thought meeting 'the one' would mean settling down.

Now its been 3 months we are travelling separately, still havent officially broken up.

I still dont know what to do. I honestly cant imagine meeting someone else that I have more fun with.
