"it's annoying that most guys don't like to cuddle after sex, they think that girls will get emotional or clingy" (M22 F22)

I've been having a fling with this girl for about 6 weeks now. It started off as a hookup, but its become more, I want something even more serious, and I'm about 99 percent sure she does too based on how she acts around me. Just one thing is in the back of my head and I want to make sure I'm not missing something incredibly obvious.

She's not super experienced with casual sex. I was her first Tinder hookup (I didn't believe her, she actually showed me her tinder), and either the second or third person that she's ever had sex with outside of a relationship. I think she sees me as a bit of a fuckboy. We've discussed body counts and mine was higher than hers.

I'm a good guy, and the vast majority of the time let a girl stay the night/cuddle with her even if it's nothing serious. The first time we were together after we were cuddling, she said something along the lines of "it's annoying that most other guys don't like to cuddle after sex, they think that girls will get emotional or clingy". She's said this or a variation of this three times total while we were cuddling, once very recently.

This could be one of three things imo:

  1. She had an experience where a guy didn't want to cuddle after sex. She's not saying anything important here
  2. She's projecting. She has feelings for me but doesn't know how I feel, and doesn't want me to think she's getting clingy (if I didn't have feelings for her, her behavior would definitely read as clingy, and so would mine if it was vice versa)
  3. She's trying to tell me that even though we do super intimate stuff like cuddle, hold hands, kiss goodbye, etc, it doesn't mean anything to her

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
