<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

I'm a 27 year old guy. My girlfriend of over 6 years is also 27.

I've had moderate success in pursuing my career as a musician, and although I'm not making anywhere close to a financial living from it, I still enjoy the pursuits and challenges that come with it and I'm starting to make more money year after year. I'm able to support myself financially (and fairly comfortably) between this and some other part time self-employed work.

Although I'm getting a bit older, I still have a strong belief that the peak of my music career is yet to come, and I could see myself still happily doing this "full-tilt" for at least another 3 years, if not for a life time (should things pick up in a big enough to make a living solely from it). I've already spent nearly 9 years being an active musician and pursuing this path.

My Girlfriend on the other hand is quite sick of my pursuit. She works a very good secure job, full time, and shares my aspirations of buying a home, raising a family etc. She has been incredibly patient and supportive over the years, but she's told me she just can't "deal with it" anymore (mostly referring to the amount of time I have to travel for touring). She wants me to leave it behind and focus on building a more stable career like herself.

At the same time she lives with her parents (I am currently renting), has issues saving money (at all), and also has severe trust issues from past relationships, even though I've never cheated and I've been very loving to her to try and help.

I feel depressed because I feel like I'm being forced to pick music or her. I absolutely love both.  I can see regrets 10 years from now making either decision. Any advice Redditors?
<bot>: My GF wants me to quit my musical pursuits, get a "real job" so that I can contribute equally financially, or she's leaving.
