Girl (20f) I've (20m) went on a fantastic first date with is being distant. Any ideas?

Ive (20M) Been talking to this girl (20f) for over a month. Everything seemed great, and went on our first date. Which went fantastic!

(Read about ithere).

Our date went well, spent over 8 hours together, vibed really well! Confessed feelings for one another and agreed to take things slow and let things play out naturally. She said she never had a boyfriend before and doesnt know how to act/ respond. But since our first date, everything seemed to take a 180. Communication basically shut down. (Also I have a feeling she has some sort of anxiety or relationship anxiety.) She went silent for Tuesday and Wednesday. Ignored my two texts those days. Thursday she said sorry shes been mia because shes been not feeling so well. And friday she said shes been stressed with work, school, socializing and over all had no energy and her social battery is depleted. And once again, she said she was very sorry she fell into a rut and needs to pull herself out of it.

I told her that she shouldnt apologize, everyone stresses out and she needed to take time for herself and relax this weekend. No word from her since friday. Told her sunday night (yesterday) that shes got this week in the bag, shes strong and will pull through in one piece. And that I wanna be there for her and if she needs anything to let me know. That was the last text I sent her. Still no response.

My gut says that she's just stressed and anxious. Everything will be fine, she just needs time to recover and breath. So I've been telling myself to just give it time and be patient. But finding it hard and questioning my gut.

I'm not too sure I know what to do? Shes been distance for over a week now, and idk if it's because relationship anxiety, stress, depression, combination of them? Did I do anything wrong? Does stress/ anxiety/ depression make people push others away like this? How long does this usually last? Did I do Something to put her off? I wanna help her and be there for her but the lack of communication and ignoring my texts is concerning me. And making me second guess her interest in me. Any ideas?

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
