Advice Options

Hey everyone.... It's been a while since I've needed realtionship advice but here I am again. Lately with school pressure, family pressure, and life pressures i've become an unhappy person. I have had to assume a lot of fatherly roles in my family lately because my dad works the night shift and my lilttle brother *15* has become a rebel. I no longer do things that high schoolers do for fun, all I do is business stuff for my family, act like a dad, and fight with my girlfriend. We're closing in on one year yet I find myself the least happy..... We fight and bicker for what seems to me to be every night. We only see each other once a week, and it's rough. Her parents are strict, and that doesn't help. I figured things would settle down, but now with my last year of basketball approaching, I only think it can get worse.. I'm the happiest guy alive when I'm with her because nothing else matters... Yet through the week we only fight and it seems like I'm too busy and stressed out to talk to her. I am not sure what to do... I do love her very much, but at the same time I will not allow myself to continue being unhappy..... Honestly working with a few projects here and there with the Celica is the only thing that keeps me sane..... Please don't reply with "the celi is all you need or dumb responses like that... I'm looking for someone with some genuine insight and advice. Thanks guys and gals

Relationships are hard, I think you two should sit down and try to talk, she needs to understand the amount of stress you are under. The statement that everyone has seen as important["I'm the happiest guy alive when I'm with her because nothing else matters."] is very valid. If you feel that way around her and you love her that much it’s not work breaking up over. If you do it will in all likelihood cause more stress for you because you will have to deal with the fact that you are hurt and she it hurt.
