Thanks to both of you, heavy and SirTimothy
Other than her lack of ambition in life, there's also the fact that I think my SMV is much higher than her's, and sometimes I feel I could get a much better deal somewhere else. (She's slightly overweight, and comes from a middle/lower class background )
I will not however, deny the fact that I enjoy spending time with her as well as the sex.
I just don't like the idea of doing something unethical and giving her false hopes, by staying in the relationship even though (I hope) I will not spend my life, or have a family with her because of said reasons.
And yes, we live 45 minute drive apart so I go sleep over at her place only once per week.
Get her on Paleo.
Tell her she can only eat fresh meats, fruits, and vegetables from now on.
Tell her you'll be weighing her when you drop in every week to make sure she's staying on point. You can weigh yourself also and make it a team effort.
As far as the middle/lower class background, she's at such a young age that you can still mold her behaviors to whatever class behaviors you want. If it's daddy's money you're after though, that's a different story, and I won't delve into that topic.
Your situation is ideal, man, you get to see her only once a week, so you've got your space and she has hers.
As far as feeling like you're giving her false hope, I understand where you're coming from there, and it's ethically a tough one, so what I would advise if you think your SMV is higher than hers is to raise her SMV.
See where things go, don't feel you have to marry her just because you're with her. I've been where you are before, and guess what? The guy she's going to be with after you isn't going to marry her, and neither will the one after that, and neither will care. It is what it is, welcome to the modern world.
If she makes your life better, and you can make her life better as well, this seems like it can be worked out, and like it might be worth doing so.
Get her on paleo, let her know exactly what you want and need from her, and go from there.
If her lack of ambition bothers you, I've got some bad news for you, that ambition thing is a huge lie in many cases. As an example (but this applies to many fields), many girls go to medical school supposedly to be doctors, rack up huge debt, then only work part time and then no time once the kids are born, and their husband now has to pay for the wife, the kids, AND the medical degree.
Don't fall for it, don't be that guy, man.
