Talking online with a girl (22F) for months, but never met, now not sure if I (25M) even want to meet in person/continue interacting with her

TLDR; Met a girl (girlfriend?) online, talked with her for ~3 months now, slowly losing interest, had plans to meet next week for Thanksgiving, found out she hasn't been quarantining, don't really want to interact/associate myself with her anymore.

I met a girl online around mid August, we talked a bunch and things seemed to be going well (similar interests, good conversation, communication, etc), but we never met up. This is mainly due to me currently living at home with my mother and father (who are high risk for COVID-19, and my area has high incidences of COVID) and not wishing to take any chances. She was respectful of that and we decided to not see other people and just interact online (online messaging and video chatting).

Since the pandemic started, I've been working from home and really not going outside unless it's for a walk or to pick up my grocery orders and take all the necessary precautions (mask, no face touching, social distancing, etc). I was ok with meeting up with her in person if we both wore masks and socially distanced in an open outdoor area like a park, but she cited her agoraphobia. So I asked if she would be ok with us both getting tested for COVID and then quarantining after the test and we could meet at her apartment, but she thought that was a hassle/never bothered going through with it.

So I discussed with her 2 weeks ago, that I would take the week of Thanksgiving off and visit her at her apartment during that time, but I recently found out that she hasn't been quarantining and has been hanging out/partying with friends. I already had some hesitation on whether or not I should even continue this relationship and thought maybe if we met in person, things would change? However, after finding out about this, it kind of really makes me not want to bother doing anything with her at all. I guess I feel this is extremely irresponsible (she visits her parents every so often and they are also high risk) and disrespectful (we had made plans for me to visit), and I already had issues with her (unmotivated, irresponsible, drinking, tidiness, very opinionated, etc). Am I being unreasonable? Looking for any advice on how to proceed. Thanks in advance!

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...
