Is it my turn to reach out?

29F I reconnected with a guy I know from childhood. We had an amazing first date. 4 days after we saw each other again. Spent a lot more time together and got physical. This was last Wednesday. After he dropped me off, he said we should see each other over the weekend. It bugged me I didn't hear from him that Thursday all day, given what we did. Anyways. Friday came he texted me around 9pm saying he was thinking of me with a kiss face. I say I was thinking of him too, he asks how my night is going... told him good, I had my sister visiting so I hung out with her. at this point it was about 10:30pm. He hearted the message about my night early in the morning and did not respond to other part of text when I asked "hows yours?" as in his night.

No text Saturday. I was like hmm okay we were supposed to hang. Don't know if he got the impression I was busy with family. Then Sunday he texts saying "whats your week looking like. I wanna see you." I hate playing games but I noticed he isn't super responsive and I was trying to read into everything. I responded almost like 24 hours later saying "my schedule is pretty busy during the week but it would be nice to see you." He said "it would be nice to see you to." I loved the message. Now its Friday and haven't heard from him. I am reading into all the behavior and trying to match is texting style I guess but I really do not want him to think I am not interested.

Is it my turn to reach out or can I wait? Also does his behavior seem not right in any way?

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...
