Quote: she now has a successful job and it feels like we are growing apart faster than we can come back together.
With high likelihood it is precisely her sucessful job which is pulling the two of you apart. Most females like their male partners to be stronger, richer and more intelligent than themselves. No kidding, I saw an experiment once proving this. (Men on the other hand, luickily seem to have no issue with weak and poor girls.)
My advice:
1. Unfocus from her and the R with regards to success and money, i.e. anything else but DO NOT touch that subject.
2. Meanwhile, focus on getting a successful job for yourself (if thats what you want) and in the meantime only communicate successes in your endeavours, avoid to talk about setbacks. If she does not recognise you as successful you may have a long term issue at hand.
3. Are you a positive thinker? It is easier for others (i.e. her) to recognise your achievements if you are aware of them yourself.
