She is literally the only person in my life right now. I tried for 2 years to make some kind of friends, but none of them worked out. You´d think I´d have been happy to have a girlfriend, but honestly I just felt a huge disappointment: another person that is going to fill my world and then leave. Though, to her credit, she is absolutely not filling my world.

    Ouch, sorry to hear that. It's harder to evaluate a relationship in such a context. Though, like you said, she's barely there so... maybe that helps since it's not too different from not being in a relationship anyway. I hope you have better luck going forward.

    I've been doing some processing and realizing though she is unreliable and has a lot of committments, a bigger problem for me is that I kind don't know what to do with romance at this point in my life. I guess I don't believe in it anymore. I'm kind of OK being who I am in my life and I don't want to play games of pretending to be something I'm not for someone else. I think that after you've had several romantic partners who mostly disappear, you start to wonder if this romance thing isn't just entirely transactional, and at a high cost.
