I find a lack of confidence a huge turnoff, too, so it's a self-perpetuating problem.

I know this is a stupid high school relationship, but I feel awful.

What am I supposed to do?! Move in with him right now? Kidding....sort of.

He doesn't want to come back; I can't just relocate.

I want that partner who will be around until my dying day.

I'm trying to discern if the person is meaningful to me or if he just happened to be present at a meaningful time in my life.

... we haven’t gotten to spend much time in each other's social circles, so I'm reluctant to name my feelings too soon.

I would never expect to take priority over his kids. But after four months am I not allowed to expect some consistency in his behavior?

We're both married. He never mentions his wife ever.

In 2021, I am no closer to my goal.

It was great to visit everyone from the stoop and even the pouring rain didn't dampen our spirits.

Hi Meredith, My ex and I were together for two and a half years, and the relationship ended last year right around this time. We'd had a very tumultuous relationship – lots of explosive arguments and bickering over things we…

I moved out of state during the pandemic to try and "strike gold" with a new job.

Do you think he will ever chase me down the street?

"Sex" was not in all headlines.

I'm usually the one who likes to set and plan dates, to be the pursuer rather than the pursued.

Every time I go to my ex's social media, I tell myself, "this is going to hurt you" ... yet I do it anyway.

I decided it wouldn't be shocking to bring up that I had real feelings for him, saw him as a priority, and wanted to affirm we were on the same page.

The phrase is somewhat scoff-worthy and a little vulgar, but its sentiment has gained legitimacy in my mind.

Six years ago I learned that my husband had been dating about a dozen women he met on a dating website for married folks looking to have an affair.

It's the COVID conversation I can't seem to find my way around.

... when we we got serious, I deleted my Tinder.

I ran into a mutual friend months later, and they let me know who her new love interest was.

I listen, I empathize, sometimes offer advice, but rarely suggest a course of action.
