I (24 M) am having trouble moving on from ex (22 F).

I know it’s common to have trouble moving on, but I feel like this story is different. Thank you for reading :)

I just got out of a 2+ year relationship with my ex. She dumped me. There wasn’t anything that should have caused a breakup, but here we are.

Throughout the 2 years, she went from saying “I love you” to calling me “husband material”.

In the last 3 months, she went from still saying “I love you” and talking about our futures together.

In the last 2 months, she went from motioning her fingers around my ring finger to still being in love with me.

In a period of 2 weeks, she went from saying (and I remember fondly) “I‘m so appreciative for you. The way you treat me and love me is commendable. I know we are capable of anything and everything.” To a week later saying “I’m sorry, but I need a break” to “I love you, but I’m not in love with you” and now we are broken up.

Sadly I don’t see her coming back for some reason. I’ve been in no contact and off social media.

Because of these major swings in actions, words, and us being broken up, I can’t shake her. I obviously am still madly in love with her. We didn’t argue much at all. It makes no sense to me because I saw a future with her. I talked to my exes mom. She didn’t know what was going on, but she did tell me this: her mom thinks that we were a mature couple and she saw us being really great parents together.

I’m trying to move forward in life and become the best man I can be. But she’s always on my mind no matter what I do. Whether I’m at work, reading, at the gym... anything. What is there left to do? I’m just lost

TL;DR: Ex broke up with me. Breakup was unexpected and I didn’t do anything to cause it. It’s difficult to move on and I don’t know what steps to take.

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...
