Punk barista Josh Keller really DID want to be the savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned...

My (???F) girlfriend (26F) won't stay out of the way of me becoming a god and I'm tired of resetting time when she inevitably dies. AITA if I destroy her dreams because it's safer for her than going with me to a pit of gods and monsters?
