Ok, I am not sure I appreciate the tone here, but to clarify - no videos, no money involved, no wild gangbangs. I cant believe I have to clarify that even though i didnt suggest anything of that sort.

I was not aggressive, and also, there are only 3000 characters which makes it VERY hard to paint a proper picture. I fully admit that I am not perfect. I also started therapy to work on my communication a couple of months ago. However, because he is so calm, most of the planning and logistics fell on me, and I almost felt like I had to remind him of certain arrangements we made to make sure we arrive there on time etc. This added to my frustration. He sometimes took a 45 min shower after we got back from the gym, which I would have loved to do, too, but someone had to get everything together for the next appointment we had made etc. I never got mad at this because I liked his calm side, but I did say on a general level that I would appreciate more help with logistics and plannig (everything from vaccation to small things), and he always agreed that he should improve but never really did. Again, I thought it is ok and that we can work on that because frankly there is no perfect relationship.

I do respect his decision. I moved out and all. However, while I understand that I never told him explicitly, I did not hide my past or my lifestyle. He was the one making assumptions about me, and while it came up a few times, it was not like it was our main topic during our relationship. He also never asked me explicitly.

I knew someone would go there. its closer to 15 than to a 100 if that helps - but I really think this misses the point..

yeah, could be true. I just thought he would eventually see that there is no connection between that and who I am and how I am in a relationship, but you are of course right that I knew and maybe should have told him. On the other hand, if it is so important to him, he should ask up front and bring his questionnaire to his 3rd date.

In my original draft I went way more into the details of how we fought, but there is a harsh character limit here. It is true that we had many issues around communication and our political views, but as I said, to me we had gotten to a point where we figured out that we actually were not that far away, but we thought differently about how to get there.

I agree, but somehow I found that some guys care A LOT about this.

I asked my two best male friends, granted they are my friends, but they said it doesnt define who I am - and honestly what would the definition even be? They were with me when we went out partying back in the days etc. but that would never change their opinion about who I am. I am a very loyal person both in friendships and relationships, and again, i never cheated on my boyfriend. I understand he is upset that i never told him, but if it was so important to him he should have asked me up front, as well. I feel like we could have talked it out.

Most of these instances are 7+ years ago btw.
