<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

Hi there,

You folks seem really helpful, so I thought I would ask your opinion... 

I have been seeing a girl for 5+ months, and she is an absolute sweetheart. We have lots in common - snowboarding, hiking, outdoor stuff... I know she wants kids, which I want at some point, I know she wants to travel, and she wants to move to the same place I do. We don't live together, but it's gotten a little more serious lately, with her saying she loves me.

Now I'm emotionally distant, but I am open to the idea of being loved and loving in return. Problem is, I see her work as a turnoff... She works in a menial retail job that is way below her abilities. She has been working there for 3 years, and is still only making 14hr... Thing is, we are in the most active economic region in north America. There is every kind of job, paying way more than retail, which is solely for people who need part-time and flexible hours (IMHO)... 

I come from an extremely impoverished background, with a mother who raised me and my sister on welfare, neglected and abused us, and was a medium level boarder. I have had to struggle and persevere and sacrifice to complete university... Move from my hometown and all my friends/family... All in order to get to a moderate level of success.

When she complains about her work, I suggest she look elsewhere. She doesn't like to hear it, and I am getting more irritated every day when I think about how much I have to work, 12-14 hr days, in all elements... She doesn't seem to want to make any difficult decisions at all.
<bot>: GF shuts down when talking about work opportunities. She currently works retail, which I think is a waste considering the kinds of opportunities where we live.
