I dated my girlfriend despite our differences

My girlfriend feels unwanted unless intimate, while I feel pressured to engage in her interests

What I wish I knew
"Her needs and desires were more important than mine"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly and honestly about differences in interests and intimacy"
