Not gonna lie I do this sometimes 😂 but my gf will force me to sit down and talk it through so we talk about it every single time. I guess in my mind its easier to just forget it and not continue the conflict. Like in my mind “ok thats enough arguing for the day, lets move on”, but I got used to her always wanting to talk it through and resolving it so I initiate the talking half of the times now

Yeah always, because I'm an immature manlet who ignores my problems instead of working on them.

This is a major communication issue. Know your worth.

It depends on how much you care about keeping a solid relationship. If you’re fully invested, I think you’ll always want to talk it out. I’m a male and have noticed I’m more inclined to initiate discussions about the relationship and feelings 75% of the time in my experience.

I used to ignore the fact the argument happened by letting time pass, but now with my gf we will have a quick talk about it (if the argument deems a talk after)!

I used to not be as expressive as what I was feeling so I’d just ignore it, but now I’d rather say how something made me feel, or listen to how my gf feels, if the argument deems it

Generally, nowadays, with today’s low standards, if you fight, you can be considered an abuser. This would get you canceled.

This wasn’t about me. I’m no more of an abuser than you are a serial child rapist. Just a warning to anyone to avoid engaging in any fight as you can legitimately be blamed for anything if you’re a guy in today’s world. Have even seen women say they’ve been sexually assaulted because someone used a pick-up line on them.

I went through my gf’s phone and found out she had a crush on my best friend when we first started dating (over a year ago). I suspected this at first but it hurts to have it confirmed and see her telling her friends about him. I’m not sure how I should feel since I went out of line to look through her phone.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).
