It's been 40 years since I saw or spoke to her. But I now have all of these photos of her in glorious, colorful Kodachrome.

I'm very picky and hate forcing things, but I know I’ve let some great ones pass without giving them a shot.

We kept up the texting, and social media exchanges, and even FaceTime, but it all became too much for me.

The problem is, he was married.

We see each other for a few hours about once a week, but at times, because of the kid schedules or holidays, etc., we can go a few weeks without seeing each other.

I know he's probably curled up in his apartment overthinking everything and coming to these conclusions on his own without involving me in the conversation.

I never got any sort of goodbye or closure.

Hi, Meredith. I'm a reader on the West Coast. I've been with someone for almost five years, and when I met him, he had a 2-year-old child from a divorce who lived out of state. The mother/ex-wife has made it…

He says this is because he's still in the process of figuring out what he wants for himself.

My husband and I are in our 30s and have been together for five years, married for almost two. The economic downturn has hit our workplaces hard, and while we are currently both employed, we've each seen significant staff reductions…

He has his future figured out, but I don't think I'm ready to give up mine.

Red flag?

Dear Meredith, I have made it almost a whole two years of dating my partner without sending you a letter. Maybe it's the self-isolation or maybe it's Maybelline, but I need your advice. My partner and I dated for a…

During the time of quarantine, I can't stop thinking about my ex.

My boyfriend and I have been together for three years. We're in our mid-30s and have been living together for almost a year. He's a great guy, and it's the best relationship I've ever had. He's smart, fun, caring, we…

Anyone who has honestly attempted finding love on Cape Cod understands it is a barren wasteland for a guy in his 30s seeking a soulmate who falls into his age group.
