[21M] My [18F] girlfriend wants a break because of quarantine

We have been together for almost 4 months now, we meet in college and had a great relationship. We never had any major arguments, we had sex various times and it was great. Quarantine comes and we can't see each other, so I call her every now and then and we message by Whatsapp. About 3 weeks ago her brothers had a lot of homework to do, they are in middle school. My girlfriend's mother tells my girlfriend its her responsibility to help them. She has no free time and apart of her online classes and homeworks, she has to help her brothers. We couldn't talk via cellphone anymore because she ended up late and was tired. We still could talk through whatsapp, it never bothered me we couldn't talk via cellphone because I knew she was occupied. I also start to notice she is getting distant and tell her if anything bad was going on between the two of us. She told me the relationship is not the same since we are not seeing each other anymore and she is living up with stress. She suggests a break until quarantine is over and we'll see what happens. I really miss her, I want to message her saying her I love her and that I don't want her to leave. How can I deal with a break when she is my best friend and quarantine is just being boring.

TL;DR! Girlfriend wants a break, idk if it means a breakup and I'm stressing out. Quarantine is also no help because I can't go out with my friends or get distracted.

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...
