A good friend of mine, who happens to be a girl, was also looking to find a place in the city as well. It's someone that I have know for about ten years and consider as little sister to me. She is also someone that I could trust and i thought the transition would be easier than trying to find some random roommate. Well, I really did think the whole process through and now this is where things have lead to.
I am not sure how old you are, but I can understand your girlfriend's frustration. The places I bolded are all situations working against you.

I am not sure where you are at, but if she is coming to the US, she is thinking marriage. That means all this business with sharing your car and living with a girl are not even conceivable. Even if she had no problem with it, there is no way she could tell her friends or family (without you looking like a jerk).

If you really love this person, drop the roommate/car sharing, etc.

Did you mean you DID or DIDN'T think the whole thing through?
