Did I ask about commitment too soon?

Did I ask about commitment too soon?

I (33F) have been texting/ voice calling with a 39M for about 2 weeks now. One of the first messages he texted me was, “I don't have anything to hide or be ashamed of, I'll tell you anything you want to know.” And he’s been true to that and makes an effort to be transparent so far.

Anyway, after sending him a flirty message and him sending one back, I send him this piece of work:

“Ok, since you’ve been in a committed relationship for so long, do you feel the need to go out there and experience a lot of different people? Sometimes people need that to get it out of their system, which is totally fine. Just wondering where you are on that :D “

It’s been 2 hours since I sent the message, and lately he’s been pretty consistent in replying once a day or every 12ish hours.

He and I both came out of long term marriages (His 19yrs, mine 14 year)

Yesterday we talked for about an hour and a half about all kinds of things, he mentioned his experience in online dating is like “casting a net” and seeing if he finds the right one (not the exact wording, but something along those lines).

Side note, we haven’t met in person yet but are making plans to at the end of this month. (He lives 9 hours away).

I always freak out and over analyze this stuff. Let me know what you think......

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
