Reply to He (39M) grabbed me and pushed me down, but I (28F) was the aggressor. Where do we go from here? by Formal_Self_8191
You could try couples counseling to see if you can learn to communicate.
I wouldn't. The violence is a deal breaker for me.

Reply to BF (m36) GF (F30) lazy sex by Friendly-Ad-6058
It really sounds like he can't have adult conversations about adult things like sex and money. He's an adult, he should be able to.

Even if she never cheats again is it something you could believe? Are you going to worry every time she’s out without you? If you answered yes then maybe you should find a new gf. You’re young, you’ll land on your feet.

And how did he prove he was real?

Google conversational narcissism and defensiveness in relationships as that’s what he’s doing. And google emotional support skills, conflict resolution skills, active listening skills, and the importance validation in relationships as that’s what you want but aren’t getting. To be honest, trying to explain this to people like your bf doesn’t work. Those behaviors arent something that change with just an explanation, they’re usually pretty hardwired and don’t change unless they get therapy and years of it and even then it’s no guarantee it gets better. And even when they work on it, while you wait, you’re continually made to feel unimportant and less than by their single focus on themselves and that can cause or worsen any mental health issues you may have. Best thing to do with someone like this is tell them what you need that they aren’t giving you and leave. Find someone better suited for you, and hopefully if he meets enough people that point out the problem he’ll be motivated to fix it at some point, but hopefully he’ll do it while he’s single so he doesn’t hurt more people while he figures his shit out.

Next time he does this (flips the script when you bring up an issue or something) just end the call / means of communication abruptly.
When he asks what happened, just straight up say “I wanted to talk to you about something with me, and you are turning my attempts to seek support from you into a focus instead on yourself. It doesn’t make me feel supported, and as that’s what I wanted from you, I figured the conversation wouldn’t help me.”
If he defends what he did with any “but you” then end that communication again, repeating the same reason if he asks.
Unless you give him consequences for when he does this, he won’t learn.
It’s okay to use our own experiences to empathise, but you should usually do some form of acknowledging the others experience first, and then making it clear why you’re about to offer your own analogy. Downright dismissing your experiences as “not as bad as mine” is actually a manipulative tactic often employed by gaslighters and the like (reversing the script and swapping who is the offender and who is the victim).

Unlikely, but if she's late, it's not too early to take a pregnancy test. Simple way to know.

Easiest way to find out is to do a test

I can't date. I'm not the type of person who can just move on and date other people. I rarely am even interested in people anyway.
Plus, I don't know if you've noticed, but dating isn't really something I can just do.

The point of no return is behind you. Get some individual counselling.

Kinda feel as tho if the genders were swapped or if it was two dudes the comments would be different
You were having an argument, he opted to leave the situation and let things cool, you then assaulted him and he responded in kind.
If you aren't gonna be able to take someone in a physical fight then don't try to physically fight.
Hopefully you guys can sit down, apologize and work thru this. Come up with healthy ways to deal with these arguments and if that means he has to go for a drive or a run or whatever then let him.
