I want to understand my girlfriend more, but she refuses to open up about her personal life despite the fact that we have been together for over three months now


I want to understand my girlfriend more, but she refuses to open up about her personal life despite the fact that we have been together for over three months now. I keep asking her about her parents, her childhood and other aspects of her life that I think are important, but she says it's not important. This makes me sometimes feel as if she doesn't care about me. I don't want to be pushy, but I believe she should at least try and tell me about her life considering we are in a relationship.

If she wants to talk about something, she will. If she doesn't want to, she won't, at least not until she's comfortable enough with you to open up. If you had something you didn't want to talk about, would you appreciate her badgering you about it? Give her time to get to know you better and decide how much of her past she wants to share with you. It's her life, after all, and being in a relationship means there has to be a certain amount of give and take.

You often have a feminist bias towards ladies. I vehemently oppose your view where you supported a lady who put up a photograph of her ex boyfriend on Instagram. What is the reason and justification for this when she has a boyfriend? That too publicly? Not many girls would agree if this was vice versa. Should emotions and feelings of possessiveness be totally absent for boys? Should they be liberal? Why? Do print this. - Buddhaditya M

This is between the girl and her boyfriend. What you refer to as a 'bias' is actually just common sense. I urge you to lie down, then read about feminism if possible and lie down some more. If that doesn't help, and you feel the need to attack liberalism some more, you can always send me another strongly worded message that I will promptly forget the way I intend to forget this one.
