<human>: Hey all, as the title suggests, I [27M] have been with my girlfriend [33F] for about 7 months. We've known each other for roughly 2 years, hooked up for a little, took a break from talking, then finally got together once I came around and admitted my feelings.

I moved to NYC about 2 months after we started dating, so we've been doing the "distance" (about a 4 hr drive) since the summer. We usually see each other twice a month (wknd in each other's city). I genuinely love the girl, but we're just at very different points in our lives. She got married very young and got divorced in her early 20s. I've never been in a relationship longer than a year and am finally in the city that I fell in love with as a kid.  There's very little tension as we both haven't rushed the relationship, but at the same time, I feel like I'm "missing out" on the city to an extent. I don't want to resent her at some point in the future and certainly don't want to drag her along as I currently feel that it won't last forever.

I figure it's probably easier to end things sooner, but I'm not even sure if that's what I want. I will definitely miss her. "Being single in Manhattan" is a pretty shit reason to break-up with someone who has done nothing wrong. Any advice that you all can provide would be great.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Lived apart from my girlfriend for 5 months and feel like I'm missing out on the new city. Should I break up? If so, how to do it?
