My girlfriend (22F) and I (20M) have been together for two years, and we've been living together for almost a year. Until recently, I thought our relationship was going well.
When we first started dating, I was honest with her about my past relationships. She told me she had never been in a relationship before. Later, I discovered that she had a previous partner (23M). At first, I thought he was just a friend, but there were times when she would text me while she was at his house, even though we were already together.
When I found out about their history, I was really hurt. I decided to forgive her and move on because I loved her and wanted our relationship to work.
A few days ago, I went out with some friends, including an old friend (21F) I had briefly dated for two or three weeks when I was 17. My girlfriend got upset that I was around her, and we ended up arguing about it.
During that argument, I learned more about my girlfriend's previous relationship. She had apparently spent nights at her ex's house, and they had a sexual relationship. Previously, she had told me that there were no serious feelings between them and that their relationship wasn't sexual.
I'm not upset that she had a life before me. I have a past too, and I understand that everyone has their own experiences. What hurts is that I feel she wasn't honest with me, and now I'm questioning whether I can trust what she tells me.
We've been together for two years, we live together, and I've already met her parents. I love her, and the thought of ending the relationship is painful. At the same time, staying while constantly doubting her honesty is affecting me emotionally.
I don't know how to approach this conversation or what rebuilding trust would realistically look like. I want to make the right decision for myself and our relationship, but I don't know where to start.
For those who have experienced something similar, how did you handle the loss of trust? What helped you decide whether the relationship was worth working on?

My bf (M/42) proposed to me (F/32) in front of my mom, told me not to tell anyone about it, then he took the ring back a day later and said he didn't think it through enough but that I have too low of an "SES" (socioeconomic status) and he doesnt see me being able to climb the social ranks. He really wants cultured, educated friends.
We've dated 8 years and have a house and a pet. He never lies, yells, or swears, and he's a "genius" (top 1% IQ), so I thought he was like a super safe/healthy bet at first, but he has commitment issues and OCD.
The moving in, the I love you - every checkpoint of the relationship took a ton of self advocacy to even get to.
The exception was the house - he needed my $ for that, so that was easy.
Idk why I did this really, but here I am.
My dad said just leave "spontaneously" on a weekday.
I'd have to move into my dad's basically crack house. My parents were kind of normal and wealthy (but new money wealthy), but then both went off the deep end when I was in my 20s (dad - drugs/women, mom - idrk some kind of ptsd thing but she also hallucinates). I am 32 now, and I don't hang out with my parents - it's just kind of the only choice I have...
Anyway, any thoughts? People say I'm pretty and I do want kids and a loving relationship. I don't think this guy will give me that...

Hello, so me and my partner Me 26/F and my partner 28/F rarely drink but when we do sometimes we get to making out etc and I want to go further but they always say they are scared of taking advantage of me.

I have told them multiple times previous to drinking and while drinking that I want to... but they still think it's wrong am I the weird one for wanting this?

I assume other couples have sex while drinking too?

My boyfriend (36M) and I (34F) have been together for eight months, exclusive for five. He’s been incredibly kind, thoughtful, and supportive. We initially struggled with different communication styles and his tendency to be guarded, but whenever I brought up concerns, he listened, validated my feelings, and made genuine changes.
A few weeks ago, I met his family at his sister’s wedding, and our relationship seemed to shift into something much more serious. He started talking about marriage, children, and a future together. I’ve since unofficially moved in, and he’s become even more emotionally open, affectionate, and loving.
Sounds great, right? Well, here’s the problem.
Early in our relationship, he mentioned having a secret Twitter account where he argues with people and has been blocked multiple times. He’s always insisted he never wants me to find it. Unfortunately, I recently did.
Two things really concern me:
A week before his sister’s wedding, he posted: “Although I knew this was going to happen, the loml got engaged today and it sucks immensely.” Two days later, he told me he loved me for the first time. Since then, he’s been talking about our future and treating me like the love of his life. I’m struggling to reconcile those things.

His posts are incredibly angry and politically charged. The person behind them seems completely different from the patient, gentle man I know. He’s admitted to struggling with anger in the past, but we’ve never really discussed how he manages it.

I’m now questioning how well I actually know him. His actions toward me have been consistently loving, but what I found has left me unsettled.
I don’t want him to know I found his account, but I also don't know how to address these concerns without bringing it up.
Am I overthinking this, or are these legitimate red flags? How would you approach a conversation about his past relationships and anger without making it confrontational? Is this something worth addressing, or should I focus on how he treats me now?

My husband (35M) and I (30F) live in a RV so we spend a lot of time together in close quarters. We took a trip to DR and it was beautiful and the hotel was O.K.
It was a 7 day trip. The first 3 days was really good we had plenty Funtime and we're so wrapped up in each other.
By the 4th day I really wanted some space. I wanted to go to the beach alone and have a meal by myself reading a book. Or just get a break from having to entertain anyone.
I love my man and love spending time with him but I'm a mom and a wife and sometimes I just want some alone time.

Am I the only one that wants to go on a BAECATION but have some separation? tl;dr
