Emotion mess
I used to have a girlfriend who was really nice to me... however due to my work the relationship wasn't doing well... After we broke up I met someone from where I work and we started dating about 3 months ago. She is older than me and sometimes I feel happy with her and sometimes not, sometimes I miss my ex sometimes I don't. My current gf does some things that I don't like but I dont know how to tell her... in the end my emotions are a mess and it doesn't help that in the work I have so many responsibilities and so much stress...
@dafer96 Hello, welcome to Relationship and friendship Support Community! I am glad that you have reached out to here.
I truly understand you are going trough lots of emotional stress and also as you have work, so I can imagine it is very difficult! And after break it really takes time to get things stable, do you feel you can talk about your emotional feelings with your new girlfriend?
@CommunityModAlex we have talked and she told me that there are some things that she doesnt like about me, for example giving her more attention. I have tried and improved a little bit in my opinion but sometimes I think it's not enough for her. Sometimes I do things that for me are not that bad but for her are, so I don't know what to do. Thanks for your comment by the way.

Thanks for sharing your story. Have you tried to tell the new gf how you feel? Try to use "I" statements and tell her "I feel ....."
I have found that helps me to stop saying "you did this and so on." It puts your feelings out there but at least they then know what is going on. Maybe she doesn't even realize she is doing things you don't like. Maybe she would be willing to compromise.
Hope it gets better soon.
