I'm not sure if anyone will respond, but I'm pretty new to love, so I'd appreciate it if someone would give me advice.

I just recently got into a relationship with someone that I've known for a couple years, and we've been together for a month or so now. After it started, there have already been some rough patches; we've fought a few times, and it's always been because of something I've done. I've made a lot of mistakes, mostly because of the insecurities I feel, but I don't want to blame it on them. This has also been the first real relationship I've been in. Same with them.

One of the biggest things that bothers me, though, is how I can't help but feel as if they aren't being honest with me most of the time. They're a very kind person, and I know that they hold back on telling the truth sometimes because I'm worried about them, but I love them, and I want them to be honest with me. They said they'd work on it.

Still, recently, they've told me that they'd be inactive due to personal reasons, which I didn't mind at first, but I've tried to check in with them every now and then, and they either won't reply, or will just send emotes, without really explaining anything that's going on.

I don't want to seem intrusive, but I just really care about them. What should I do? I feel like I'm the only one that's really trying to be here, too...maybe I'm just being stupid.

Thoughts?

Honestly is always crucial in a relationship, but don't be worried if your first relationship starts out rough. It takes time to learn how to communicate and be open with someone else. The most important part is to be honest with yourself and know that it's always okay to take a break or breakup and be friends instead. All-in-all take it one step at a time and I wish you the best!
