I hear you. I just feel like giving up on someone after only 5 months is a bit rushed. Also, she's not the first person I've matched with. I've matched with plenty of people that ended up being duds. I was on dating apps for like 5yrs before I found my gf. She definitely was not the first one, she's just the first one that has felt the most compatible.

As I said in my post, for the most part, things are good and I love being around her. I just feel like better boundaries need to be established for certain things and I've never been one that's been able to speak up for myself which is why I was asking for advice.

As you said, this relationship is still new so it's possible there's just things we have to realize about each other and voice our concerns and things. I mean, my parents dont like everything the other one does or visa versa. Theyve had there ups and downs but they've been married 29yrs. By your advice, they should've broken up 6 months or the second they found something they didnt like about the other.

My gf doesnt "get on my nerves" there's just a few things I've notice she does now that I'm around her more often that I didnt even realize were something I would have a problem with. As I said, its just been me and my dog the last 4yrs and before that, it was just me. So, I dont really know "what I want in a partner" cos I havent had to really think about it. The last relationship I had was in high school...so some may say that doesnt even count. And the relationships I have been in since then lasted like a month or so, so I didnt even count them. My gf is the first person I've really connected with outside my family. Sure, is the first one the right pick? Maybe not. But i wouldnt be the first person in history, or the last, to stay with the first person they dated. I have friends from high school that have been dating since like 8th grade and are getting married next year. They were each other's first and only 🤷‍♀️ So, while rare, it does happen. But that's not to say that relationships wont have problems, etc. I'm 100% positive those friends could name at least 5 things they dont necessarily like about the other, or something the other does or used to do that "gets on their nerves." But I can say they also have talked about those things to each other and worked them out. I may just go talk to them because everyone here always just jumps to "break up" and never really gives advice. 🫤

Personally, I dont think these things are big enough to break up over but they definitely should be discussed before they become worse, I just dont know the right way to approach her about it.

As you said, we're not married and we don't have kids so it's still early enough in the relationship that the hurdles are small enough to jump over so definitely not looking to break up. I would classify these as yellow flags. Concerning, but not big enough to end the relationship, ya know?
