How to deal with hearing something about someone you’re dating

Hi everyone I just wanted to share this story because I actually feel sick and don’t really know how to accept what I’m hearing here so I want to get this off my chest because I dont know what to do. So I went on a few dates with a guy and I everything was going well until I was told how his child was conceived and now it has made me question his loyalty and honesty because I heard this from a friend who knows him well. I’ll refer to him as X.

Xs best friend of 15 years passed away and a few weeks later X ended up sleeping with dead best friends girlfriend as apparently they’d become close while they were grieving and she got pregnant and obviously kept the baby.

The whole thing seems very weird to me and especially that he didn’t tell me himself and the fact I had to find out from a mutual friend makes me question his loyalty and honesty. I would never in a million years sleep with my best friends boyfriend whether she’s alive or not I just find it super disrespectful.

I don’t really know why I’m posting this because I’m genuinely pretty shocked and don’t know whether I want advice or just to get it off my chest because as much as I’m trying to understand the situation I cannot fathom why you would basically shit on your dead mate like that especially so soon after his passing and it’s made me question his loyalty to someone who has just died 🤷🏻‍♀️ also looks like he has zero self respect nor any respect for the family of his dead friend, who were apparently overjoyed when they heard the girlfriend was pregnant because they tought it was their dead sons baby. The whole thing is making me feel dirty for sleeping with him and I can’t stop thinking about it.

Edit; I’ve spoken to my female friends and they’ve basically said what I was thinking which is “if he can do that to his dead best friend, imagine what he could do to 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...
