Relationship ruined during quarantine

Hi everyone hope you’re all staying safe!! So my ex and I broke up a few days ago because of the stay at home rules happing now. I’m still going to work and life for me hasn’t changed much but my ex has been on paid leave since the shutdown started. We have been friends and colleagues for a year now but started talking romantically in February and made things official mid March. We were getting to really know each other when the shutdown happened For that reason I had not seen her since st Patrick’s day. I work a lot so we hadn’t really been texting either and things just didn’t feel the same we stated that we were starting to feel indifferent towards each other. I decided that it wasn’t the best time for us to be together. We agreed to go back to being friends for the time being. I was more than willing to see her from the safety of my car just to drive by her house but she said she was already in bed and had an exam early the next day. In my head that was a test where I wanted to see if there was still a spark between us when we saw each other. The next day I decided to end things. We ended on mutual terms until yesterday when I saw she posted on her Snapchat story that she was in San Diego (were from LA) and she has an ex there who she was with before me. I feel very upset and hurt that she wasn’t willing to get out of bed to see me when I was willing to go to her house but she somehow ended up in San Diego with her ex the day after we broke up. I understand that we aren’t together and yes I want her to be happy even if it’s not with me but I feel very hurt by this action and feel like damage has been done that could end our friendship I don’t know if I should bring it up or not. It also bothers me that I feel she did it on purpose by posting it to social media where I could see. I just want the healthiest way to cope with this because I am genuinely hurt and feeling down now and don’t feel like I want someone in my life that I can’t trust. any advice or similar stories are welcomed and appreciated ❤️❤️

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
