Heartbroken and don't know what to feel

I've been talking to a guy I met online EVERY DAY since January 12th. He always initiated and kept the conversation going. When I asked him to meet he was very open and honest and said he was struggling with a lot of mental health issues (psychotherapy twice a week and recently upped SSRIs) He also didn't want to start anything because he's pretty sure he's moving out of state.

When I talked to him Friday he said he was seeing someone. I have no right to be upset because we aren't exclusive, heck we never even met! I'm hurt because he said he didn't want to start anything with anyone. We talk every day and even sexted for awhile.

We argued for three hours via text. He begged me not to hate him and had no idea I was taking this so seriously, even though we talked everyday. He said his life is chaos and told me that I'm important to him. He said he did want to meet but now I don't know what to do. I'm sure the girl he's seeing wouldn't be happy about it.

I was being nice and didn't want to pressure him to meet and wanted to respect his boundaries. Now I feel like an asshole because I didn't vocalize my feelings. He said he really likes me and that I'm important to him. After our argument he deleted his ig (I checked from a friends phone and it was gone he didn't block.)

He left the conversation saying he didn't know what to say and was sad he hurt my feelings and that he was starting to feel uncomfortable. He hasn't been on Twitter at all and hasn't read my last apology.

Mostly wanted to vent. What can be going through his head? I hope he feels guilty. I'm a mess. What do you guys think happened?

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...
