I think its healthy to dream, but shouldn't she be interested in what the relationship is now rather than what she wants it to look like? I mean, she acts like she wants to be around me, and it was kind of like that in the beginning. Then I got her a puppy for her birthday, which was nice, but I noticed that she paid less and less attention to me. I became jealous of a damn dog. Its like that's all she ever needed. I wonder if I gave her a baby the same would happen.
I've been contemplating a break up for a while, I'm just tired of being pushed away. I'm just not happy any more. What's kept be on really was how cool her family members are, and I hate having to kill all contact with them. There would be no friendship if I broke up with her, she deals in absolutes, like a freaking sith. I'll just be another one of her past asshole boyfriends I guess.
That right there is a red flag, covered in reflectors, being shot into the air on a firework! Unless you both agree on that lifestyle she has no right to expect it. Everyone wishes they could stay home all day and live off of someone else's coin, even me. That's not life though. She sounds like she's trying to get you to marry her and get knocked up as soon as possible so that she can live her dream as soon as possible. At this point I'd say get out ASAP, because all she really needs to do is get pregnant and she'll have you by the balsl with child support. She obviously hasn't realized this yet, and you should get out before she does.
...one can be sure of nothing until it has already happened...
