Am I in the wrong for getting uncomfortable when another girl hugged my boyfriend?

FYI, I may be 16(F), but I've been taking this relationship seriously ever since we started, and I have no doubt that I do love him. (He is 17) But what I do not love, is myself, which leads to me being way more insecure about myself than anything else. Now to the actual story.

This happened yesterday, and I have not even been able to sleep because of it, that's how much it bothers me. We were both helping his mother at selling her handmade earrings ect. at an event held in our small city. It was mostly a really nice day spent with nice people, until at the point when we were packing up, this girl I've never seen who is apparently in his class comes up and starts talking to him, which makes him stop talking to me at all. I didn't mind it much at first, but I certainly started getting uncomfortable when he just turned his back to me and continued chatting with her. I just stood there looking at the ground because I felt so left out of it all. What made me choke back tears was when she hugs him and goes to somewhere else. To me it felt really crappy to see all that, and It wasn't a small friendly hug either, but something you'd see when a couple hugs. Even after that, he didn't talk to me at all, which made me feel worse. I feel like I shouldn't be bothered by this, but I can't help feeling like at that moment he forgot I even existed.

TL;DR His classmate he's never mentioned before hugs him in a way I don't feel comfortable with.

Am I wrong to feel like this? Am I really just overreacting?

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...
