His ex is still living with him and we are “together”

The question: would you wait for him, be jealous, or committed and how would you move forward?

Situation: During summer last year myself (W30) met a guy (M36) in a summer vacation and we fell in love. He was back in the days 6-7 years in a relationship with a 5 years older girl, I was single. He is well financially situated, can’t really assume what his real income or job is, however he was in jail for some minor tax reasons, drinks and does cocaine when going out…Girl was loyal the whole time. We kept on seeing each other for 3 months and all this time I was requesting a plan, any indication how this should move forward as he was telling to everyone how he finally found his one love (me) and is happy. In his family there is history of cheating on one or two places and in mine too. So I broke up after three months as it became an emotional torture for me and I felt super bad for being the affair who’s ruining the relationship. Two weeks after we broke up he comes back saying he broke up with his girlfriend and now he needs time to go over it by himself. This all happened 2 months ago.

Today: Right now she’s still living in his apartment and looking for other places (apparently), they are living as two ghosts (according to him). he never told her there is another girl because he doesn’t want to be an asshole and cause an extra fight. The reason for his breakup were constant little fights and arguments, lack of harmony and separated life goals (she wants kids now he doesn’t want them with her, and not in next 2 years)…

We are talking on the phone every time she’s not there or he’s out of the house. He’s talking about plans for us two for this and next year. During this affair I met a lot of his friends and I like them. Also his relatives (but not parents). Btw we are living 2-3 hours away from each other, so this has been a “short distance” relationship where we saw each other twice a month for two days each…

What is your feeling about this?

Thank you 🙏🏼

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...
