(english not my first language)

I have been dating this girl for 1.5 years. From the start I was ready to marry her.

But she is making it difficult.

I am 28, she is 21.

I am a professional web developer. I made multiple successful businesses on my own, before I even met her. I am a millionare.

She is a graphic designer. She has no formal education, which is something she was very worried about when we started dating.

At that time, I already had a masters degree in CS, and she never continued to college. I was ok with it.

This girl - she is like an angel, introverted, and faithful.

If my deadly sin is Sloth, hers is Pride. She is very arrogant. I am too, but she might be the most arrogant person I have ever known.

She:

- thinks she can make an entire business on her own. Code it, market it to people, sell... She never sold anything in her life and her computer skills are (barely) Excel and Photoshop. I sacrificed 10 YEARS of my life to getting where I am. She thinks she could do it in a month.

- her verbal intelligence is of somebody in 3rd grade reading level. I am not exaggerating. I wrote better than she does now when I was a child. So do all of my friends and people I know. I do not know anybody who has such poor reading and writing skills.

- despite it all, I always treat her with respect. When she has an idea, I talk about it with her. I tell her how her business idea might work and how it might fail. And despite me making millions with my business, she thinks it is easy and she could do it too. And when I tell her about the difficulty, her arrogance shows. And that's when I get angry. And she is suprised I start putting her down. She is like a child who once read about the relativity theory thinking they could be a rocket scientist, despite not knowing basic physics.

- She has no math skills, no verbal skills, she is very introverted and on autistic spectrum

- I am at a technical leadership position in my firm, and she wishes she would be a leader too - yet, she talks to nobody in her firm, she has no status there, but feels hurt when they keep giving her mediocre work. She does not know how to speak up, or how to lead or inspire people, yet she thinks she would make a good leader. At the same time she is annoyed when somebody talks at her at work. She doesn't talk to anybody at work. Yet she thinks she could be a leader.

- She does not know how to carry a conversation. When I ask her how her job was, she barely has an answer - "nothing happened today". I have to EXTRACT information out of her, she does not initiate anything. Merely having her around sometimes feels like having a black hole in the room. She does not communicate. Only when she sees me getting irritated she starts talking. She is consumed by anxiety of everything (not caused by me, this is her character).

- People at my job respect me. They listen to me. Be it my peers or my workers. My girlfriend does not. Her arrogance blinds her.

- But in the end, when we have conflict, she changes her behaviour. She listens to me and remembers things. I do the same for her.
