Oldest story in the world. I'm crazy about her, but she has a boyfriend

First of all, I want to say I hate that I'm even writing this post. I've never chased a girl with a boyfriend my entire life, because I genuinely think that's unfair to both of them. But here I am. I'm an exchange student and I still have almost three months before going home. I was really loving my time here, before I met this girl. I'm not going to say anything about her, but we immediately hit it off and honestly, I just fell for her. Then I discovered she has a boyfriend. And I really tried to forget about her, I really did. But I couldn't, because we have the same friends here and I basically see her every day. It's been almost a month and nothing changed. I know I just shouldn't go after her, but that's what I tried to do for a long time and it's just not working. I tried to go after other girls but I can't stop thinking about her. So I need to go after. I know I would have a chance if she was single, but that's not the point. I need to snap out of it. Of course if she feels the same way, I will be the happiest guy in the world. But I think even a rejection would improve my situation. What I know for a fact is I can't ruin four months of my life for a girl who has a boyfriend.

So I realised I need to give it a shot. But I want to do it in the most fair way. I don't want her to think I'm just a random asshole who hits on girls with boyfriends. I don't want to get her drunk and try to kiss her in a club. I don't see her as a potential one-night stand, I don't want her to just cheat on her boyfriend with me. That's just not the way I feel about her, especially considering we live kind of close to each other in our home country. I thought about just talking to her about the way I feel and then just accept what's going to happen. But I'm not sure that's the best way. The biggest problem is I don't have anyone to talk about it, because the friendships I have here are not that strong yet and the friends I have back home are just able to say "stop thinking about it", but I've just tried to do that for almost a month with no success.

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...
