My exes are still in love with me and I don’t know what to do

Three of my exes are still in love with me and I have no idea what to do. One of them, who I will call Green I dated less than a year ago. And even after we broke up we stayed good friends and they’ve never had a problem with any of my other exes or partners. They were super sweet, and always felt open with me and I always felt comfortable with them. Then there’s Purple, who I dated after Green, who I immediately had a connection with and we dated for 7 months, but I never felt like he loved me even when he told me he did. He had depression episode lasting about 3 months due to something that had happened over the school year, and even then I was incredibly supportive and made sure he was doing okay. After some time he broke up with me because he didn’t feel anything for me, and he didn’t want to hurt me. So I took the time to try and move on and just focus on myself, when my best friend introduced me to her friend, who we’ll call Blue. Blue happened to be my type, check all the boxes for all I would be into, was incredibly understanding and overly affectionate like I am, but I still hadn’t fully moved on from purple and he hadn’t moved on from me, and Green really needed my company, and had started developing feelings for me again. I wanted to connect more with both of them as well as Blue, but Blue wanted to rush into a relationship I didn’t even want, and they knew that I wasn’t feeling ready. After a week and a couple breakdowns, I decided to break up with blue because I didn’t want to be with anyone at all. At this point, Green really didn’t take a liking to Blue at ALL, which sucks because blue really wanted to meet and be friends with Green and purple , and Purple has been completely understanding and supportive with my choices, and has been working on himself and his own mental health. Purple was still jealous of Blue but always let me have my own choices and was just happy I was happy. How I actually feel about all of them, is that while I love spending time with green and they’re super sweet, I know I could never date them. I see blue as a soulmate, but not in a romantic way, and I think I’ve been trying to convince myself I’ll eventually feel it in my heart but I don’t think I can, but I don’t know if I can admit that to them. But purple, I still love him, he’s been the most loving and accepting of anyone through out all of this, has even continued texting me everyday to check in on me, but none of my friends like him very much for his past habits, and I know he wouldn’t be the best person to date, despite how much I want to. Am I an asshole, have I been playing all of them? What can I do to keep everyone happy including myself?

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...
