You're Twenty-freakin one.... that's way too young to settle down. you need to get out of that relationship and have some single fun for awhile.
She's 29... biologically speaking, she's got about 5 or 6 years to find a mate, settle down, and start havin a kid or 2 if indeed that's what she wants, and most women do. even if she doesn't want this, she has to deal with those feelings hormonally daily at this point.
so basically, it sounds like your relationship has come down to right place/people, and wrong timing. it's good there's no betrayal or wrong-doing here, but the sooner you both move on to a new chapter in your lives, the better.
it's never easy to break up a long relationship, and some people are more dependent than others and thus more easily crushed, but that's no reason not to face the music and deal with it. staying and living in misery or in denial is not an option.
when you breakup, take a few months with zero contact.... it's difficult to do something like that i know, but it will prevent any relapses into your old cycles and habits and it will make it less complicated for you both to be strong as you enter the unknown of a new chapter of your life, and it will also keep one of you from being crushed when the other person starts seeing someone new if neither of you know it's happening.
