Confused, hurt, and lost

I (33f) Started seeing this guy (34m) back in December. We met on hinge and really hit it off. We’ve been on multiple dates and outings with friends ever since. We’ve talked every day since December 1 when we matched. We’ve had more than two hour phone conversations, the good morning/good night texts, and talks about eventually moving in together.

I went away on vacation about two weeks ago, and he was the best. Gave me space but still we couldn’t help it and talked everyday. When I came back he was fighting off a cold, so I gave him his space. When he called me on the phone I could tell he was really sick. He didn’t reach out as much as he was sick and obviously I was okay with it since he wasn’t feeling good at all. However when he started getting better, sounding better, he still was kinda lacking in the effort part. I was sensing something was off .....

Okay, now I told myself not to let my insecurities get the best of me. I’ve been hurt, abused, and ghosted before so when a guy starts to “pull away” I get really anxious that this is it.

We have/had (?) plans to see each other this weekend, however, I haven’t heard from him since Saturday. I gave him some space over this past weekend since he is an ER nurse and works night shift and I knew he was just getting back to work after fighting off bronchitis. So I didn’t text him until Sunday night with a sweet “hey hope you’re feeling better and work is going well”. I wanted to call him so I did on Monday but I still haven’t heard from him. My gut is telling me he is ghosting.

I’ve been overthinking and analyzing like crazy. Our conversation on Friday was so good. We were laughing, flirting, talking about what to do this upcoming weekend, etc etc. he even texted me Saturday morning with his usual good morning text. Then, nothing...

I’m so confused, I’m lost, and Hurt. This is not like him. We haven’t gone a day without communication since before we met! We’ve both devoted so much of our time and effort into each other. How can someone just up and leave like that with no “I’m sorry I’m not feeling it anymore” text. Do people just do that to people?

Do I call him? I’m so hurting.

TLDR; 3 month relationship ending in ghosting? I’m so beyond hurt.

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
