It helps to self-reflect and be able to say I feel (emotions) because (reasons). It also helps to think about whether you interpreted the situation correctly and whether there could be any misunderstanding, knowledge gaps, and whether any of your actions contributed to the conflict. But communication is essential to resolving conflicts and you should be able to communicate your thoughts and feelings, try to understand their perspective, and talk about how to resolve the conflict... All with respect, an open mind, and an aim to resolve the conflict for both sides.

I’ve found this quite useful. To be read slowly; read a chapter, reflect for a few days, resume. Repeat.

Bf said on video he made his decision to breakup, and asked to meet on Sunday to talk in person. If he’s already decided, what’s the point of meeting up and break up one more time? (He said we have very different values. He thinks I look for stability, quality time, family, have a place, someone to come home to when he wants to travel and build businesses. He feels like the relationship is not letting him do what he wants to do at max capacity because of resistance he feels from me)

When do you and your SO start telling each other your income?

I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years. We are not married or living together.

He knows how much I make because I told him after my promotion. He is the entrepreneur type with a passive income gig.

His business has been very slow since covid but he just seem to be chillin at home. He never tells me if he is doing financially okay so when I asked. He got offended and asked me to drop the topic because he is doing okay.

My boyfriend has given soo many red flags over the past year but we’ve been trying to make it work. Heated arguments consistently every other week.

Relationship is going pretty well apart from my partner being pretty unhealthy… I like to eat clean in general but she doesn’t like veggies and I’m a little fearful for our future family if she’s just encouraging them to “eat what you feel like” is there anyway to help change this behaviour? Any suggestions? It’s not like I never go eat fast food or what not, just that our frequency of consuming desserts has increased exponentially after we started dating and she doesn’t exercise either

I've just been broken up with by a girl I love - any thoughts on trying to hold on to her?

I've been seeing a girl for about 6 months. She's said she's into me, and that I treat her well, and took a big step of introducing me to people that really matter to her 3 weeks ago.

Her reason is stress - She's doing a masters and has just been evicted so can't afford to stay in the same city. When her masters ends in December she may have to move back to the US, as she might not get a job here.

(38F). My boyfriend (39M) after 2 years together (long distance but travel to one another and spend time), suddenly told me he wants to try to be a musician again. He did this in his 20s , failed and started his corporate career at 26. He’s a Senior Manager in Fl but i personally feel is underpaid. He was supposed to move in to my place in September and start living together. I initially told him I would support his music on the side while he pursues his corporate career full time. *Cntd below*

My old side piece and I have been over for a minute now. It was fun until we fell for each other. We are both 'happy'in our current relationships. We took a break from talking, it seemed like we were both still sensitive about the past and still have love for each other. Recently, he reached out and voiced that he wants to talk more. He video chat me, and now texts frequently. But he only texts when he's at work or in his car, when his girlfriend isn't around. Does this mean anything?

F here. I’ve had trouble in relationships because idk how to fight healthily. I’ve been going to therapy for it but I’m struggling atm because my boyfriend who I love so much, I’ve brought to his breaking point with my anxiety fueled approach. I don’t blame him. A lot of this stems from watching my parents & their toxic fights. I want to change not only for myself but for him, because I believe he is worth changing for. But has anyone ever gone through this & made it out better?
