... it's like a relationship without the label of it.

Dear Meredith, I met my someone through a dating app. We live in two different countries. We decided to get to know each other, so we exchanged our social media accounts and WhatsApp information to better communicate. We hit it…

He was uncomfortable with the thought of being with someone who would be friends with any guy.

Since the pandemic started I began to have a change of heart.

We were still talking, albeit platonically.

It’s maddening and I can’t help myself from checking that he's seen it.

I should feel grateful? But a part of me feels resentful.

How do I make myself feel like I've been dumped without being dumped?

I suppose I thought I would know that I made the right decision, but I sit here feeling unsure and worried.

We've spoken nearly every day.

Yes, I know I'm married.

I'm disgusted by the thought of it.

Where are former letter writers now?

I'm not sure why. Why do I keep hoping?

He sent two messages, 12 hours apart, and I didn't reply to either of them.

She harbors a lot of anger and takes it out on her husband.

I think she’s great, but we definitely still have more work to do before committing to a life together.

I want him to decide by the end of next year if he wants a relationship with me.

Is it useless to hold onto a connection?

The issue is that I really do not want to continue my relationship with her for reasons nothing to do with him.

I do not want to come off as being so critical.

How can he make room for a new experience if he's still hung up?

I'm sitting here writing to you at 3:40 a.m., sleepless, because I know how much harder this breakup will be to get over.

Why do men do this? Why fixate?

I am not worried that he really loved her, but I want to keep life at home spicy and fun for him.
