To me the night doesn't sound that bad. At least I think that you did real well. You listened and validated her feelings even when you might not have agreed with them and they were hard to hear. She's obviously confused as to what she's doing in life right now. You let her know that you think that things can be better.

I don't think that you are in a worse place than you were before. If anything you know more information now, right? I don't think that you need to do anything different right now. You need to be a pillar of strength and consistency because she is confused and lost.

She said that she often gets caught up in the 'romance' of a relationship and doesn't deal well with the reality of it.

It sounds like she's talking about the infatuation stage of a relationship. Are you speaking her love language? I'm not sure how you get her to realize that real love is a choice, but that's the realization it seems like she needs to come to. I'm sure that you already know this though...

Peace,
