I’m in need of advice on how to talk to my girlfriend about our sex life

On mobile, so expect typos and sorry for formatting issues ahead of time.

My girlfriend and I have been together for over a year and we’ve been sexually active through out our relationship. However, it’s just been plain vanilla. No other positions but missionary and on her stomach. I always take the time to take care of her before hand, going between her legs and “getting her warmed up”. However, it’s becoming more of a chore. I REALLY hate that I am saying that because I do love her and am planning on proposing to her but not before this issue is talked about. I’ve tried asking her what she likes and she ALWAYS answers that she doesn’t know. I’m having to read her body language and reactions to everything I do. I find it hard/difficult to believe that someone knows 3 days before she gets sick or something but doesn’t know what feels good?

To add, not once has she touched me. Not even offered a blow job, nothing. I make so much of it about her but I’ve never felt her hand on me. And guys, you’ll know what I’m talking about here but I’m craving that feeling that you get when the one you love grabs you.

She doesn’t initiate anything either. I’m always the one to initiate and it’s starting to make me think I’m pushing her into things and she doesn’t want to do it. She is just doing it to appease me. That’s probably not the case but it’s become very troublesome to think that way. I NEVER want a woman to feel like I’ve pushed her into doing anything she doesn’t want. I told her from day one that I will always ask before hand and if I’m doing something she doesn’t like, she needs to say something.

I feel like I’ve rambled on but that’s my life in the bedroom. I’m just not sure how to go about talking to her about how I’m feeling and what I’m thinking.. Reddit, I come to you to ask what could possibly be done in my situation?

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...
