Help! Should I give up and move on

Hi
Thanks in advance for any insights.
I have been with someone for about six months and I am in love with her. When we are together I am very very happy.
But she doesn't make time for us. She is always saying next week. We have had two 'proper dates' in six months. The sex is good.
I spend a lot of time, babysitting her daughter.
She says she is busy.

She says she has trouble forming emotional attachments due to her childhood and emotional trauma from adulthood.
I don't want to give up, but I am getting more and more angry that she makes no time for us to have fun. And this is causing more arguments.
I do love her, but don't know why she won't make time for us as a couple.
What do I do?
M

tootruetoyou - Thank you, I have tried demanding more. She says she wants to and will, but doesn't come through.

Very sad, but clear time to give up and move on.

TeaForTheWin - Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Unfortunately I think you are right. Doesn't make the heart break any easier.

:( you'll be fine once you get shot and get some space, it sounds like she's done a bit of a number on you. But you seem a decent enough fella, there's better out there waiting for you i'm sure of it.
