Need some advice with my relationship please!
Post Body

Hi guys, I've hit a rough patch in my normally sweet relationship. I'm looking for advice since, I don't know a better place to turn to than a subreddit full of gay gals.

Here's a little background of my relationship: We've been together for the past year and half, and she's honestly the sweetest bean I've ever been with. We met through OkCupid and I was living on my own and she would be able to come over quite a bit and I didn't have to go over to her place that much (she still lives with her mom and stepdad). However I lost my job, she couldn't move in with me to help with rent, so I ended up moving back to my parents house last summer (I'm not out to them yet, so bye bye sleepovers). Because of this I've been sleeping over to my girlfriend's house once a week at least.

Now on to the actual parent part. First off though, her mom and stepdad are extremely sweet people who love and welcomed me with open arms from the beginning. However, since I've been going over there more frequently I've had to be with her parents more. My gf gets into quite bad arguments (lots of yelling) with them still. She knows how much it upsets me and she said she'll try working on her anger management towards them, but no progress has been made in the past year, that I've noticed. She's extremely sweet and nice with just me though, she's never raised her voice or has gotten angry with me. Only with her parents, she sort of turns into a gremlin with them sometimes. They're never serious arguments though, as this is quite a normal thing and she's extremely close to her mom as she is quite family orientated, unlike me. I still feel quite uncomfortable hanging out with her parents, and it's difficult for me to make even small-talk with them. Her mom is also very nosy, and is always trying to keep tabs on our relationship and they treat my gf like a child still (she's 20), and it really irritates me.

In past relationships I've always need able to get along with my SO's parents, but they've also never been such a big part of my partner's lives before. It's making me feel like I'm not the right one for her even though I love her dearly. I just can't bring myself to love her parents and I know that would affect her. I don't want to get in the way of her and her mom's relationship with each other either and I feel like it might be better if I just leave at this point.

TLDR: I don't feel comfortable with my partner's parents, however they're a big part of her life. Should I break up with her even though I love her?
