Letting anxiety get the best of me.

So there is this guy as of officially last week we are dating. A friend introduced us a while back and as times gone on and I've spent more time with him the more I realise how much I'm attracted and enjoy his company. He likes me just as much as I like him. He's a great guy, we get on like a house on fire, hes very respectful, takes care of himself and others so basically the whole package. The only problem is my anxiety. I am attracted to him and I know I'm attracted to him. We've kissed and I'm very comfortable and relaxed around him. But every now and then I get these little pengs of anxiety where my mind tries to point out a flaw in him or make him seem unattractive to me. I overthink a lot but when I actually speak to him/see him im completely fine. It only seems to occur when I'm not with him. I've been in some horrible relationships before, my ldr ex ghosted me for months and the one after that used me as a rebound as well as a baggage dump so forgive me for not rushing into anything here. I've worked on myself and I've been doing fantastic compared to the previous years, making sure to correct my faults and improve myself, him coming into my life just happened to be nice timing. I just cant deal with the random repulsiveness that my head gives me towards him. Any advice?

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...
