Posting this a second time

I (17M) am in a confusing situation with someone (17F). I'll start this off by saying that I have never been in a relationship before. We are in highschool together, she is a senior and I am a junior, we are also in band together. I really enjoy the time I spend talking, playing games, and hanging out with her. I know she has been wanting to ask me out for a while because she has been giving very obvious signs and she told my friend's sister where that information eventually made it up to me. I do really like her and enough to want to date her, but there are a few problems. The first being that my friends, who have somewhat dated her in the past, do not like her. She was somewhat controlling, liked to trauma dump, kinda narcissistic, and at a time of griefing, asked one of them if he would like her to suck him off. I have been talking to her a lot over the past few months and haven't seen these things show up, but I don't know if they will resurface later. The second problem is that when she was a freshman, she tried to date my older brother who was a senior at the time. This makes things complicated especially within my family who have been told about her. The final problem is that I am a Christian and she seems to be very into sexual things which I would rather not be a part of right now. She does not know that I know any of this about her. With that all being said, she seems to be a different person from when the things that happened with my friends occurred. She has gotten less empowering and a lot more friendly. I honestly really do like her, but I'm worried about all the red flags and especially what my friends will think if I do start dating her.

What I'm thinking about doing when she confesses is that I will tell her how I feel about her but also mention the things with my friends and explain to her that if she does that stuff to me, that we can't be in a relationship.

I am very emotionally stable, so I feel that if anything seems to reoccur, that I could be able to cut things off. I am worried however about her and her mental health which isn't really that good.

This situation has been in my head for about a month now, and I don't know what to do. The longer it goes on, the more I what to be with 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...
