Why do I feel this way?

Ok here it goes, I have a girlfriend and she is the best one of them all. We have a healthy relationship at the most part. But why is it everytime I am with her I get depressed because I don't think I am being too romantic. I used to be a romancer give them all they want. But at times I believe since I lost my job, and I get SSI, I can't do the things I want with her. She says she is happy and I believe her but sometimes I am not because I believe I can do much more for her. Has anyone ever been in this predicament and does this mean I am not healthy in this relationship because of this?

" So it's financial-? Maybe it's a healthy relationship WITH HER but an unhealthy relationship WITH YOURSELF (wanting to be "the man"). I can relate. As the economy gets worse and worse, a lot more people will be laid off from work and financially strapped.

I don't really have an answer, except to be romantic without spending a dime. Just take her to a park or quiet place where you two can cuddle. You're romantic; you just need to relax and let it happen. "

" Maybe she doesn't mind it, because she loves you and not the idea of you spending money on her. Just write her a sweet letter or like koolman said, take her somewhere quiet and just cuddle with her and be with her. Girls like to know they are loved and love can't be bought. "

" Love+depression= not good dear!

Truely ask yourself how much you love her and how long you can be with her.
