<human>: We have been together about a year. We both think the relationship is pretty serious and I truly believe she is the one for me. 

I am not happy with my current work situation and would like to move onto something I would truly enjoy doing. The change would be in a similar field, I just need to spend a decent amount of time on my own training and working on some personal projects before I am ready to make this career change. 

The problem is that I find it hard to have any time at all to do any of this without her getting upset. She doesn't have any hobbies and just wants to spend all of her free time with me. It turns into an argument when I say I want to go home and work on my computer. We don't live together but we make dinner together and sleep over at each other's places more times out of the week than not, we also spend almost the entire weekend together without me working on anything. 

I feel like if I tell her that she is needy and it is keeping me from doing what I need to do then she is going to take it for the worse and hear it as she is holding me back in life. I wouldn't say that she is but I feel like I need help coming up with some kind of compromise. 

She is supporting of me doing this. She helps me look up jobs and companies all the time but I can't get her to understand that I need to spend time to get to the point of being qualified for these jobs.

What should I do?
