You went from the "most fun I've ever had...(before I met her)..." to being with a "very emotionally needy person" who "just doesn't understand" something that makes you happy.  That's not cool.

So she has a great job - so what?  Is she a sugar mama, is that why it's hard to leave?  A job means nothing, it doesn't make the person.  If she gets laid off tomorrow will she still be so great?

It's more than the kayaking - that is a symptom of a bigger problem (that isn't going to get better).  Go ahead and marry her and you'll find out how much more she won't let you do.  

That is not a healthy relationship.  How on earth can you be willing to trade your sanity and happiness for a girl that wants to control you?  You are not selfish.  You both need to be able to spend time away from each other, doing whatever it may be you enjoy (same for her).  It's about respect and trust, and that sounds like that's missing.
