My long distance potential boyfriend is seeing me in a month after almost a year and I feel like flaking

I met a guy a while back during the pandemic who lives in a different country and we started talking. We both didn’t think much of it first but we ended up becoming super into each other. I’ve sent him a lot of things, he’s sent me things. He booked a flight and got a place for a short while (and then moving in with me) and going to stay here for a couple of months.

I really like him. A lot, hell I could say even love. The problem lies here: I am so insecure with my weight. I got injured and was bed ridden for awhile and gained a lot of weight. Currently suffering with the post effects of it. I’d say I gained a good 40 pounds. I told him I gained weight, and that I am trying to fix it. I also have sent explicit pics so he has seen my body. But he’s seen the angles I’ve wanted him to see. He told me he will help me stay on a routine and stuff when he’s here. He isn’t skinny per say, he is on the heavier end ish. He knows I’ve gained weight, I’ve told him I have. But I’m so scared I’ll meet him in person and he will be so Unattracted to me. Or he will think I catfish him or something? He told me his ex was ‘big’ one time we were talking, so idk if that is any reassurance. I’m scared. And Im scared to the point where I really wanna fucking flake.

We both are basically together but waiting to make it official in person. I am scared.

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...
