I 24 m messed up kinda bad with 21f

Her and I have met and been talking for a few weeks and I really like her, problem is that my ex kinda screwed me up a little and now when I feel something isn't right I jump on the defensive so I don't get hurt and I just messed up bad trying to keep from being hurt.

It feels like this girl isn't talking to me as much as before and even though she's been active on social media she hasn't replied to my text which gives me a bad feeling.

Well me being the idiot I am I texted her again after hours if her not responding and simply asked if everything was good. She texted back and said she was busy with a family member that she hadn't seen in a long time which is the type of thing my ex would tell me even though it wasn't true. So I said "if you say so, have fun"

Then she asked why I said it like that and I realized my mistake. I told her that I'm just telling her to have fun and if she's spending time with family then I don't want to take away from that and to just text me later when she's free. She liked my text and told me that she will but I'm kinda freaking out here.

I'm alright with women and have gotten plenty of numbers and a respectable amount of dates but this girl is one that more than any other I want to get to know and hopefully make my gf. She cute AF and shares a lot if my interests and is the type of person that clearly has healthy self esteem.

What in the world can I do to make this right and not let my impulsive bullheaded nature steer me towards this same mistake again? I want to be better and grow into a better person everyday, I don't want to let this stupid mistake keep me from getting closer with this girl

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...
