What do you do when you find the perfect girl but have just only started to have real success with women? Huge confusion

Please any I just want to state two things before I start. Im very grateful and appreciative of my life, my family, genetics, health and well-being I'm very grateful of all these aspects of my life,

For me this isn't just about a breakup, if I was in a relationship where someone cheated on me i'd find it much easier for me to move on from, the thought that I screwed up would be much easier to deal with.

Also to note I can't stop wondering what it would feel like to touch date other woman. My brain goes in overdrive and imagination every time I see an attractive girl. It becomes unbearable sometimes it stays in my mind so long I go and masturbate to her and then feel shame and guilt.

Also my friends in this state are more into video games and chilling and peaceful and etc. my friend in the other state working at a bar is more into gym and going out and vanity. I'm stuck I don't know who I'm what I want or why I want and when I get close to figuring it out I just get guilt and anxiety

Okay so here is the main issue. I'm 30 years old and throughout my 20's I had a porn and gambling addiction, my brain was in a bad place, I played video games all day and all night. I had a few relationships, and had been very loved in my life whether it be from friends, family or other people in my life, people showed love for me, they told me I was a very good person, which I believe I am, I care about people, I enjoy helping others, not to make them feel like they owe me but to make their lives a little better or easier. I have never lied to get with girls, I have never been an asshole and ive never done anything wrong to other people, I just seem to always self sabotage.

When I was 26 I had spine surgery and the following year of my life was one of the hardest I had ever dealt with, I was in constant pain. and then when I was 27 I met this girl, she was amazing, we hung out every day and I starting having serious feelings for her so I told her that I wanted her to know that I was moving the following year, because after the spine surgery i had made a decision that I was going to move to the state where my best friend lives. He works at a bar and said the life there is amazing, it was a big city there was a lot of people.

I envisioned myself being the single, good looking, new guy, losing a lot of weight, improving my body, meditating, reading, just improving my life in all these ways. After hanging out with this girl for a long time the anxiety, pain, guilt and fear of leaving really started to take its toll on me, every time we would hang out it would be on the back of my mind as well as the lack of fulfillment of being unemployed, my parents were supporting me because of my spine surgery, and they are supporting me still, this last year I have really slipped up because all of a sudden I feel like I have fallen in love with this girl and my motivation to create a business and do everything is sort of gone, and I've started thinking maybe the reason I really wanted to get my own business and become self independent was to get rid of this anxiety when I talk to other girls, so I could go approach girls, so I can date, so I can confidentially talk to other people and just feel better when I do it, it started really confusing me and eating me up inside, and a couple months ago I want on a three month visit, I went on a few dates and went out a few times and I got a lot of attention from girls. they liked the way I talked, they way I acted and who I am.

It was fun and I was enjoying it and I realized I was much more focused, I wanted to work hard much more and improve, then I came back home, and I've been thinking, how am I going to do this, to leave this perfect girl who accepts me at my lowest, how am I going to leave her for some random girl or random dates, I don't want to impress any other girls, and sometimes I think about it and envision approaching a girl, seducing her, building a relationship and having the experience and it excites me but then I get overwhelmed by the guilt and anxiety of wanting anyone else when I have someone so good, I just feel like that being with this girl...I don't want to chase my dreams of being this guy I envisioned myself as.

And this gets me thinking that my motivation isn't to impress my parents or myself. Its not to make money. Its just to get girls. And it really confuses me, I just don't know what to do I feel like I really just need to break up with this girl so she can find someone who is stable and consistent, and I just need to work on my life and then maybe In a few months when I have had a consistent stable job and I have seen what its like to play the field and just see what its all about. Maybe then I will decide I just want to be with her, and if she is taken then, well that's the pain Ill have to endure.

I wake up every day confused and anxious, I cant even describe how I feel in words, Its just eating me up, I cant make a decision, just the guilt of wanting external desires and motivation messes with me too, I just dont know what to do with this girl, im just uneasy about the fact that my motivation is external, I wonder if I will regret it.

I cant shake the feeling that if I move and get a job and start working hard, even if the reason is to get girls who cares what the motivation is if i'm doing it, maybe after a few months of being consistent and independent I will know what I truly want, and where I want to be because, when i'm where I am right now I just want to smoke weed (Its legal where I live) and play video-games and hang out with this girl, but when Im over there I wanna work on my business, talk to other girls, meet other people, I wanna be cool. I'm not sure why I feel this way and why there's a huge separation, I also feel like If I could get weed into that other state would I care so much? would I have such anxiety. there's just so much going on in my life, and I just wish I could get some outside perspective on it.

To be honest I have been very depressed, its been a while since I have watched a movie or show, listened to a song and enjoyed it because every time I dont it i think about her, whenever I see a show on Netflix I save it to watch with her. I just want to understand why my motivation is the way it is. My back is fixed I can work I just dont understand why my motivation is the way it is more thoughts?
