I've been married for 15 years and have a child. My marriage hasn't been good, and now it's ending. My husband has been controlling since we got married. We've never spent much time together; it was just whenever he was…

Right before I gave birth, I found out he was cheating on me, both with the mother of his first child and with a random girl he had met a few years prior to knowing me.

That's why I think the most frustrating part of this is the chance I never took three years ago.

Maybe I should just bite the bullet and go for it, because it's not as if I'm not interested in having sex.

I pride myself on being somewhat of an old soul.

At this point, I'm just fed up with the amount of emotional labor, time, effort, and communication I've put into this.

Even though I know the breakup freed both of us, he is dragging my name through the mud.

It was just kissing, supposedly.

I met my ex on Tinder two and a half years ago.

I know I deserve a man who's fully committed and caring.

Hi Meredith, I've been divorced for six years with no kids. Dating after my marriage was tough for me, but I finally met a great guy a year ago. We matched on two different dating sites. One said he was…

Do guys ever say they feel they don't deserve you out of insecurity?

To start, this friend really dislikes me.

He is also 21 years old (1.5 years younger than me).

Is it some sort of "complicated grief"?

I think the proximity is part of what is making it hard to forget him, knowing he’s is back for the summer and in my hometown.

She knows it; I don't hide the fact that I would still date her.

It hurts not saying it, and I want to move our relationship forward.

I got distracted petting the dog instead of initiating a conversation.

I have a list of things I value in a person and he checks off everything except one.

I don't like my husband. I love him and care for him, but I don't like him. The reason? He's very defensive. If I approach him about things that bother me, he takes it as disapproval and gets ticked off.…

There were a lot of commenters with great advice and to all of you, thanks so much!

Hi Meredith, Lately I've had a bit of an issue with dating apps. I've been on a variety of apps for about three years now, but have only found success on Hinge. That is, I go on dates pretty frequently…

We can only see each other for a couple of hours every other day.

I always thought it was just puppy love and that I would just get over it or meet someone new.
