Would you choose compatibility or chemistry?

Known him for 5 months, dated for 4, officially asked me to be his gf more than a month ago. He treated me very well, definitely a lot better than anyone in the past. Puts in effort and cares a lot about me. Realized by second month of knowing I feel like I was losing feelings. Told him I needed a break to figure things out, made him questioned a lot of things when that happened. We haven’t seen each other for a month due to the break and now quarantine. Talked about it over text and decided we’ll try.

Logic side: he’s a great guy, we are compatible in most ways. Never argued (yet). He have done a lot for me and is a great partner

Emotional side: no physical attraction (he doesn’t try/put effort into looking good-which is 90% of the time), faded chemistry? (It was there first month of knowing) now zero, no butterflies, no connection (irl/texting, texting feels like a chore)

Verdict: I am 25F, looking for LTR and someone to grow and or settle with. Should I continue dating? We have the least chemistry but most compatibility compared to everyone i dated in past. A part of me feel like I’m settling, I tried to push past those feelings because I feel like he’s good to and for me but I know at the end of the day, every time we communicate I crave chemistry and connection.

Although I know chemistry, and spark tend to die out?

If you were in my situation, would you leave?

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
