Impending breakup?

My bf and I have been together only about ten months. It’s both of our first relationship. He’s 23 and I’m 21(female). We’ve had a great relationship with great chemistry, lots of fun, and a lot in common.

This weekend I failed to trust him. It got us into an argument. I have a lot of stuff from childhood pent up and I took it out on him. It was unfair. It was wrong. I am so sorry for it. He never gave me any reason to believe I couldn’t trust him. Hurting him was the worst thing I’ve ever felt.

Obviously we need to talk in person, we haven’t yet since he was out of town with his friends this weekend. I thought we were moving on but out of the blue today he said he wasn’t sure if we could get past it. He won’t be back in for another four hours. I’m not hounding his phone with texts but I think he could tell I was panicking.

I don’t want to lose something I thought was so great. I really love this guy. I wasn’t hearing wedding bells or anything but I saw a good future. If he really wants to leave, then I guess I’ll let him go; really all I want is for him to be happy. But I don’t think this is big enough. Is there any way I can get just one more chance? I know it’s up to him but this is my first fight. How can I handle it and show him I’m ready to change my behavior?

TL;DR: I really messed up and I think he might leave me. Is there any way to salvage this?

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
