My [21M] mom [41F] reconnected with me after cutting me off because I had a baby with my partner [39F], any advice?

My mom and I had a big argument about my girlfriend being much older than me. She and I had a fling when I was 18 and ended up getting together because we really liked each other. She and I got serious and my mom got so upset that she kicked me out of the house and then cut me pff for what was almost a year. I had a daughter (she’s now 9 months old) with my girlfriend and a few days ago my mom apologized to me and asked me to come by for dinner and that I was welcome to bring my girlfriend and daughter.

I was kinda cautious because she had gotninto a verbal confrontation with girkfriend when they met, but this time she was very nice and she treated her very well. We had a good time and she even offered to let us stay in the guest room since it was real late and I was extremelly tired. Since then she’s been nicer and she started getting along with my partner. I do miss my mom and how close we used to be, but she was the one that cut me off. I do hope things keep getting better, but should I try to keep getting closer with her? Or should I let her be the one who reaches out? So I won’t bother her or anything.

Tl;dr My mom had cut me off and kicked me out of the house after she found out she was much older than me. She reached out again and invited us over for dinner and she was very kind to us. I do want to get close with her again, but should I let her be the one that reaches out, or should I also reach out and invite her over , etc.. ?

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
