<human>: OK so I've been around here a long time and I like to think that I've learnt to be a good partner from everything I've read.

The problems is I've come to some realisations recently that I'm not the type of person I thought I was. I was a regular gamer who put my computer before everything else. As you can imagine that has been to my detriment. I was leaning on my gf financially because I had lost my job before Christmas and had no savings. I assumed that she would assume that I would be paying her back. 

The reason I haven't gotten a job yet is because I have a practical part of my uni course that takes up all of my time for 4 weeks that started on the 18/1. I don't believe someone would employ me knowing that I have to take off 4 weeks immediately. Because of this my gf has assumed that our current arrangement was going to stay in place until I drained her dry, and now says that I'm lazy and doesn't believe that I will be getting a job as soon as my prac is over.

My other short comings was that I didn't contribute to the house as much as I should be. I've agreed that this is the case but I had my reasons for this. She thinks that no matter what the reasons there's no excuse for not pitching in. Which I agree to but. If I'm pitching in as much as I should be and then she comes home and is just snarky with me then what's my incentive to keep on going. I admit I was in a bad place because of bad communication between us. But she refuses to see that.

The current problem is. I leave this Wednesday for the 2nd half of my prac and I won't see her for the next 2 weeks. I don't want to be spending the entire time I'm away wondering about our relationship status. 

I need your view points because I can't continue on like this. I need to know what's going on but I don't want to be unreasonable.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: I've got some shortcomings as a person and am now working to fix them. Gf wants to stay in limbo for an extended period.
