ShouldI be friends with someone I dated?

I’m (F25) met someone in a dating app (F24), we dated for a few weeks until she said she doesn’t want anything serious. She wants to either be friends or friends with benefits. I only want to keep good people in my life. Not sure if I should be friends with her since we’re not dating anymore. And she recently started responding to my texts late and it upset me. When I told her she said I’m overthinking and she doesn’t care. Maybe I was too confrontational? I don’t know, if I should check up on her or just move on?

Here are some of her red flags:

  • Lies about meaningless things. For example, pretending to have wanted to go to an art museum just because I like it. Or telling me she read my favorite book when she didn’t.
  • Parties every weekend and texts me while drunk. Doesn’t have other hobbies.
  • Came over to my apartment, didn’t eat the food I got her but drank a whole bottle of wine.
  • Cheats in her university classes.
  • She quit her job because she hates all of her coworkers and used being bipolar as an excuse. Will move back to her old job.
  • Spoke shit about her ex, and made it sound like she sacrificed a lot for her. Then she tried messaging her ex and got angry when she didn’t respond.
  • She is secretly taking student loans while letting her dad pay for her college.
  • Spilled wine on my bed then laughed about it.
  • She started college late while I’m already working and have my masters degree so we’re in diff stages in our lives.
  • Said she don’t care about my feelings and it hurt me without taking any accountability later. (At the end I begged her to say sorry). -Opened songs of my favorite artists and said they flopped.

The positive side of her is she is fun to hangout with and gives me rides. She’s also sweet and caring. I’m living abroad alone so I feel less lonely with her and I enjoy spending my time with her. I love hearing her talk about her day and I look forward to talking to 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...
