Boyfriend's friends

[29 F] so my [27 M] bf has these friends he's been close with for forever. From the start I felt like they haven't really liked me. No it's not just me saying that I have reasons. Now ever since we' started dating about 1.5 years ago I just felt like I've never been really accepted into their group. Sure I get invited to things but mostly just by extension. Now one of his friends I do have a beef with. Yes she is female but thats not the main reason. She lived with my bf for 6 months for FREE and didn't do a damn thing around his house. Didn't pick up after herself, didn't pick up after her cat etc. It pissed me off to no end that she lived there and didn't pay /do shit. Now I legit don't like her for that reason. But when I threw my boyfriend a surprise birthday party in December she didn't even have the decency to let me know she was not coming... I only found out through her friend and he didn't even directly tell me. He just happened to mention it in this group chat I am in with them. So that's another example of why I think they don't care for me. Another thing is is on my birthday in October I was having a birthday dinner. They said they would come. But last minute they all canceled. One friend basically said my birthday wasn't important enough for him so he'd rather go drinking with work buddies. The same girl that lived with my boyfriend for 6 months again didn't even bother to tell me she wouldn't be there. And another example is I'm never really included in their plans. It's the 4 of them and I just happen to be there. One last example is recently I just received job, promotion nobody even acknowledged it. But when someone else in their groups relays good news it's always good job or congratulations. I have tried to open myself to them and get to know them but they seem to have no interest in me. I have my reasons for not liking them but it's causing a rift in me and my bfs relationship. And I'm not sure how to get past this. And on top of that I don't really have friends of my own and I'm not sure how to make new friends. Any advice?

TLDR: boyfriend's friends im pretty sure don't like me and it's causing issues between us.

(P.S. Yes I'm a bit jealous but I don't want this to become an issue where my boyfriend feels like he has to choose them or me. I just want to get along with them for his sake.)

    No offense, but it seems pretty clear why. You simply don't care for them and they know it. And I'm guessing that you're the type who is introverted and/or picky about who you hang out with, given you don't have many friends of your own. I think these are traits that are hard to overcome unless you are willing to be more forgiving and take a look at how you might be contributing to the problem.

    I don’t like some of my boyfriend’s friends either, but I keep a civil attitude with them and I don’t make my dislike for them blatantly obvious. Maybe your dislike is coming off very strong.

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
