<human>: I moved to a city 2.5 hours away a few years ago. I'm from a really small rural town back home. Moving to the city didn't work out as planned, bounced from job to job, scraping by financially. 

Last year, I was ready to move far away and move in with my cousin in Virginia. Then I met my girlfriend and decided to stay. We moved in together and are currently living with her parents, as our lease ended and things are kind of up in the air. 

I'm transitioning careers and have a lot of job opportunities back home, surprisingly, since it's pretty rural and the number of jobs in other industries isn't too huge. I miss my family. I miss my friends from home. I don't have any friends or family in the area out here in the city. The only connection to this city is my girlfriend and her family and now that I'm living with them, I almost feel trapped. When things don't go well, I have no where to go. 

When discussing the job opportunities I have, she has said I should move home and that she knows I'll be happier there, but I feel like she's only saying that because she has a tendency to beat herself up and think lowly of herself. She's already got it in her head that if I move, it's not going to work. I'm not sure if it will or if it wont, but I know that I would be in a much better mental place if I were back home, which I feel like would have positive effects on our relationship. Even if that means seeing her only a few days a week, I think it could help, but I don't know how to pitch the idea with her without her thinking I'm doing it to get away from her or that I'm trying to end our relationship.

I apologize if this is jumbled and rambling, but things keep popping into my head as I write. There's probably even more that I'm not mentioning, but I can update if need be.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I want to move back home, from the city to a small town 2.5 hours away, and don't know how to tell my girlfriend without making her feel unwanted. Help?
