3 months in and I find out he’s married.

So, I met someone on a dating app around the beginning of the year. We clicked immediately and became official super quickly, within a few weeks. This is not the norm for me, but everything just seemed perfect. For the most part things have gone really well. Today I was at work and my friend told me about how she looks up all the guys she meets online on this online state data base to make sure they don’t have a criminal background. I started playing around with the site, looking up myself, and random people in my life. Most came up with speeding tickets or other silly small things. I decided to do my boyfriend. The top thing that comes up for him is a divorce. Which he just filed for in December. And it’s not finalized. I was shocked. He has not said a word about this to me. He has only called his ex “the person I was with before”. We even once were watching a show where the girl found out her boyfriend had been engaged before and didn’t tell her, and I mentioned how shitty that was and he agreed. Like are you kidding me!? This is just crazy to me. The fact that he was married doesn’t bother me. It’s the fact that he never once thought to tell me, especially when he’s still technically married!!! Now I’m wondering what else he has lied to me about or has left out. And I’m also wondering WHY he didn’t tell me. Is he not over her? I’m honestly considering breaking up with him over this. Am I over reacting? Had he told me from the beginning this would be a whole different situation. I’m just at a loss here. I’m still weighing my options and haven’t mentioned it to him yet.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
