I (27F) just broke up with my (24M)bf, and idk what to do next

Hey

What a way to start the new year...

I broke up with my bf of almost 4 years a few hours ago, b/c I just cant stand how hes irresponsible, always coming up with excuses rather than owning up/apologizing, and just doesnt seem to want to grow up. This year was tough and miserable for both of us. The fight we had was over something incredibly stupid, but it was enough to show me that if I continue to just let things go the way they are, it'll just be another 2019 for me/us.

I feel anxious over how incredibly calm I am about it. I cant tell if its b/c I'm so numb over the situation or it hasnt hit me yet.

I know I'm sad. I still love him so much... I wanted to marry him. But he has hurt me too much for me to want to beg for him back or anything.

I feel bad b/c it happened over text. But everytime I called to talk a screaming match would happen and hed hang up.

I'm scared well just be whatever about it and get back together. But despite how much I love him, I dont want that; i dont want to be really back together until we both get our shit together. I'd be okay with an open relationship maybe, but I think that's more of the side of me fearing to be alone.

What sucks is we live together with our 3rd roomie. I can't rly move out and live alone, and he cant move back home. Adjusting to that is going to suck.

I'm just bleh.

Any kind advice or something to think on would be nice.

TL;DR I just broke with my bf of almost 4 years, it feels great but also is a bit terrifying. I'm a mix of heartbroken and numb. I'm not sure what to do now.

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...
