Guy is mad at me for “bailing” on date but he never actually asked me out or planned details?

So a guy I’ve been on one date with (whom was quite rude to waiter on our first date so I wasn’t super eager to see him again) asked me what days I was free this week for a second date. I told him Wednesday (Today). After I told him the day I was free he said “maybe we can see this concert” then completely changed the subject and we go back to talking about other things. He then didnt text me for two days. Today, I don’t hear from him so I assume that we are off. We never made concrete plans, he never told me he bought concert tickets, and I hadn’t heard from him at all until today. At around 5 PM he texts me a ton of question marks and an eye roll emoji. I reply saying “what’s up?” And he says “Seriously? We had plans today.” I’m in complete shock. Mind you I haven’t heard from him in two days, also we never actually made plans with an actually time or place. I tell him “ I assumed our plans were off, because I hadn’t heard from you and we never had a time or place or activity we decided on.” He gets super defensive saying that he thought we were going to the concert. But he never even bought tickets for it. he just mentioned it as an idea (two days ago). At this point I’m getting irritated. I’m not going to book out my entire evening for someone who didn’t make concrete plans with me or confirm them. Am I in the wrong here? How should I handle this? I left him on read because I didn’t know what to say. Also, I didn’t like how defensive he got. I don’t know if I should stay in contact with this person or maybe if I should apologize? But I don’t think I did anything wrong because we didn’t have actual plans, just a day I told him I was free? Help.

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...
