How can I tell whether leaving is the right choice when I still care about her but feel that my efforts have not made the relationship feel close or mutual?

I have been trying hard to make my girlfriend happy for about a year, including spending money on gifts and activities, but I still feel lonely, shut out of parts of her life, and unsure that she really knows or wants to know me. I am now wondering whether I should leave.
