I [M19] don’t like my girlfriends [F18] unmotivated behavior.

I’ve been with my girlfriend for a few months now and I’ve always been aware of her mental health issues. She has bipolar disorder and suffers from a lot of trauma from her previous relationships. These issues haven’t been a problem for me as I have had some experience with people with similar issues. Recently it’s gotten quite concerning recently with her becoming unmotivaed and thinking that there’s no point to her life, practically bordering suicidal. I take school and college very seriously and I would consider myself a very motivated person. I’ve tried to get her to register for classes at her local college but she refuses saying it’s a waste of money and that there’s no point. I know this isn’t best for her I don’t want her to be stuck in her small town for the rest of her life and neither does she. She refuses all advice I give her and refuses to see help again thinking it’s all a waste. At first I was annoyed since I can’t stand people who waste their potential and don’t do anything with their lives but of course I knew it wasn’t her fault but now it’s gotten much more concerning as of recently with each cycle getting worse and worse. I don’t know what to do at this point and I feel helpless while she suffers. I don’t want to leave her cause I know how much she’s suffering rn and I don’t want to leave her in her time of need but I honestly can’t stand people who are unmotivated and refuse to make a plan for their life.

TL;DR Basically my girlfriend is suffering to mental illness and refusing to see help and I don’t know if I should stay in this relationship or if I should leave.

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...
