My (35M) girlfriend (35F) are a ?weekend couple? and it?s starting to wear me down. When do you know it?s time to keep going, or to throw in the towel?

My girlfriend and I have been together for over a year. Our communication is wonderful. I had posted a while ago about how she was overly critical sometimes, and she quickly worked on it and continues to do so (huge green flag). I intellectually, emotionally, and physically respect and admire her.
However, I found myself recently feeling sad that we have essentially turned into a ?weekend couple.? We live about an hour away from each other. When we first started dating, we were both remotely working and could see each other throughout the week very easily. However, with return to office, we?ve pretty much turned into a weekend only couple, unless I pack up and spend the night with her during the week. I thought that at this stage, we would have taken a step forward in being more integrated with each other (and being able to support each other more regularly), rather than a step back.
We?ve already spoken about moving in together. We both own our own places, so logistically, we can?t just pack up and move in together without planning. But the realistic timeline we?re looking at is 1-2 years, and I?m not sure I can do this much longer. We?ve spoken about the logistics and how I?m not happy with how our relationship seems to have gone backwards, and her response was that this is the hard part of the relationship that we both need to put in the effort at this stage. She?s also stated she doesn?t want to move closer to my location because it?s more suburban, which would make it harder for her to see her friends and attend after work events throughout the week.
She also shared that she had previously pressured an ex to sell his home and move to the city with her (which she regrets doing now in hindsight). They ultimately didn?t work out, but it was a relationship lesson she tries to avoid. I?m partially worried the current schedule is an indirect way to pressure me to move closer to the city with her, because she makes passive comments about how my location or home is too far away from people, too big, etc.
Those who have been weekend only couples or LDRs, what made you keep going vs calling it quits? Assuming the qualities and relationship otherwise are great.
Tl;dr - My girlfriend and I have a great relationship, but we?ve become a ?weekend couple? due to work changes, and I?m feeling frustrated that we haven?t progressed to being more integrated. We?ve discussed moving in together, but logistical issues mean it?s likely 1-2 years away. She prefers city life and doesn?t want to move closer to me, which makes me worry that the current arrangement might be her way of indirectly pressuring me to move. Otherwise, our relationship is great, and I?m wondering how others in weekend-only or long-distance relationships decided to keep going or call it quits.
