People need to start being honest about what they want

Sorry, this is a long one.

A few months ago (June) I got talking to someone who I instantly clicked with and had things in common with. She told me that I was what she wanted and that she really liked me. Fast forward two weeks of talking and she wanted to hang out at mine on the Saturday night. Cool with me. She got nervous and didn't end coming to mine. What happened was that she messaged me saying she was drunk and was out in the cold thinking about her life. In the end I had to go look for her because I was worried she was gonna hurt herself.

I took her back to her sister's house and I went home alone. We text each other that night and eventually we started sexting (something she initiated). We even agreed to meet up on the Monday. So far so good. Not gonna lie I genuinely liked her. Next morning she tells me she made a mistake, hat she was drunk and feels like a slut, that she's not ready for a relationship, she needs to work on herself and be a good mum, but that she still wanted to be friends. Fine, I was cool with that, I was happy being friends with her.

We spoke as friends up until a few weeks ago when she basically made a post on Facebook complaining about always being there to help people and how no one is there to help her. I got pissed off at this and confronted her about it, about how I helped her that night. I basically told her that I was hurt by how she led me on saying she wanted to be with me and then the next morning changing her mind, she was trying to flip it around saying she was always honest with me about what she wanted which was a blatant fucking lie. She told me that she couldn't love anyone if she couldn't love herself.

Today? She's in a relationship with another guy. It's not the fact that she's in a relationship that bothers me, it's that she lied about it. I'm not a jealous person. If she had been honest with me and said she didn't want with me, I would have accepted that. I'd be happy for her today. But she actually said she didn't want one at all. That's what fucking hurts the most. The fact I got lied to.

Seriously, men, women, be fucking honest about what you want. Don't string someone along only to hurt them. Don't tell them they're what you want if they're really not. Don't lie to why you don't want to be with them and pass it off as sparing their feelings, when really it's your own feelings your sparing, because I can guarantee you people appreciate being told the truth more than finding out you were lying to them.

If you want a relationship, but realise you don't want it with a specific man / woman you've been talking to: FUCKING SAY SO, BE HONEST WITH THEM! Don't spout off the ''it's not you, it's me'' line. Tell them that you do want a relationship, just not with them and if they can't handle it, it's their problem.

Point is, don't lie to someone, be honest. But if you are gonna lie, stop pretending you're lying to spare their feelings, when it's actually yours you're sparing. I'd rather be told I'm not what someone wants than being told you're not ready for a relationship only to then see that you're in one. That shit hurts more.

Rant over.

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
