I want my marriage to be amazing again...

Im not even sure how to put this into words... I can’t imagine my life without my husband. I love him unconditionally, when we’re good, we’re REALLY good.... But since the start of this year it has been really rocky. I don’t even know how it has gotten so bad, but sometimes I feel like I don’t even know him anymore. I feel like all we do is fight lately. I don’t even know how to get us back to being good at this point since it has been so long that we just aren’t “good.” We have one child who’s in the toddler years. I work full time and so does he. I do everything from taking our daughter to school, picking her up, clean, cook every night, laundry, dog related duties, etc. He helps out, sometimes, mainly only when he’s asked. I will say he’s amazing with our child once he’s home. He plays with her, teaches her, and loves her. He use to be amazing with me too.... WE were amazing together. Sometimes I feel like I must be the problem because I’m the only one who’s ever upset with things. I don’t want to be the problem. I want us to be ok but I don’t even know why we’re not right now..... I’ve tried ignoring things he does/says that hurt me,... I’ve tried telling him what upsets me, but then it makes me feel like a horrible person because he’s so sorry and didn’t mean it to hurt me... Then sometimes I just can’t take it anymore and lose my sh*t.... I lost my shit tonight when he came home and said “this letting her watch TV thing is becoming a habit that you’re creating.” As we sat there with her freshly cooked meal watching TV that I started for her because I needed to prep our adult meal (homemade guacamole, mango salsa, cilantro lime cauliflower rice, and was waiting to sear the beef when he was ready to eat), finish some laundry, and clean up the kitchen...... Now he put her in our bed to fall asleep, took his shower, and went to sleep in the guest room and not take her back to her bed.... I’m just here, crying, and unsure of how to fix things at this point... I don’t even know if this makes sense to anyone. I just feel like my 5 year marriage is crumbling all around me........

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
