She hates me for not moving...

I (27M) and my gf (24F) are in a long distance relationship for about 7 months. We met online and hit it off really well, talking everyday , FaceTime and so on . I live in the country where she was born (Hungary) and we saw each other when she came to visit her relatives for a month. We had a mind blowing chemistry, such an amazing time and unique connection , that we agreed to continue the relationship after she leaves. We both knew it would be hard to do LDR (both have experience in LDR).

While we were together we agreed that we have to make a plan to close the distance. I offered that we can go on vacations or me going to her country and spend time with each other until we can make a bigger step like one of us moving which she agreed on.

After she moved back to her country , she got pretty anxious about the situation, missing us, saying that she wont be able to handle spending time together and then me leaving again. No matter how much I tried to reassure her... She was sure that she would feel abandoned by me. In other words , I either move in to her country or we cant see each other. She has some abandonment issues/ trauma from her childhood. I was very understanding and respectful from the beginning but all this caught me off guard.

I understand that one of us must do a sacrifice in order to be together. I have a successful career and a pretty stable life here but I also think that this girl is really worth it. She hates the country she was born in and dont think she will be happy here. At the same time I dont speak the language of her country (Italy) and it would be really hard to find a similar job (Finance).

She started to resent me for not moving after 3 months. She thinks that I dont love her and I wont move at all. No matter how many times I tried to explain that it isnt an easy decision to make and although she claims that it isnt and understand she still hates me for it. She offered me friendship until I make the decision of moving to Italy because she cant give me more. Which I declined , saying I cant be friends with her and it wont make the situation any better. We arent talking for couple of days now and my head is a mess.

I want to be with her at the same time I dont think we have spent enough time together to move in and I believe dont know each other that well. I know the situation is pretty complicated , just looking for some advice.

i’d break it off.. no contact, uplifting your life and moving countries over a 7 month relationship is crazy. you’ll find someone better in your own country
