I will not deny this relationship has had a myriad of problems over its multiple attempts.

They joke my wife's friend is her "real wife."

He rarely sees them, probably about once every two months, if that.

I'm kind of a late-bloomer, so to speak.

I literally mean sleep.

I will admit that I ignored several warning signs.

Every time he thought I was going to leave, he'd ask me to stay longer. And he seemed to be everything I wanted.

Dear Meredith, I was recently in a relationship with a guy in the military. We had been dating for a little over five years and started dating in high school. I was with him through everything, including when he went…

I think we are both going to recover, but as of now I am sure she feels that I am moving on much faster than she is.

I don't know how to bring this relationship back to us as the focal point.

Can I change him to start being mature? Or should we go our separate ways?

I don't think I'm in love with him right now but I would love nothing more than to be in love and in a relationship with him again in the future.

The truth is my husband has amazing qualities, but he doesn't "do it" for me.

Those friends are more independent and can easily go without seeing him for weeks on end, but he seems lost without them.

How do I deal with the hurt and loss when I was the one who did the dumping?

I've personally never even wanted to get married, let alone have kids.

We ended up walking around town until 6 a.m. in the morning, just talking talking, because we didn't seem to end the night.

I feel like I'm his only hobby.

I can only slightly glance over every time he walks by my aisle to see if he looks like way.

He couldn't give me a reason except that he just didn't want to be in a relationship anymore.

I've never been in a situation in which I've dated a man who's lost a significant other, let alone a wife.

Preparing for our anniversary.

I can't imagine not having him in my life, no matter how much grief or heartache he has caused.

I never thought brown eyes could be so bright. That's just how I feel.

... lately I have been thinking about the future, and what I've read about single mothers on the internet is so discouraging.
