Either I take Adam back and accept I may never be engaged or married to him, but we continue to grow our life together. Then I'll never really know what could have happened with Carter.

There's no part of me that feels appropriate saying "well, perk up with me over some Java!"

I am 46 years old and have never had a date. I have major social anxiety and I've had traumatic experiences that have me afraid of almost everyone. I have gotten to a point where I’ve lost all hope that…

I am a student at a small liberal arts college and I have a small crush on who I like to call the “Ryan Reynolds” of our campus.

He told me he didn’t want to live without me and he had always imagined kids and marriage with me but right now he needs to get himself right.

I feel so unrewarded for my loyalty and steadiness.

I know I’m the fool for staying with him – you don’t need to advise me about my foolishness.

Hi there! I'm nearly 40 and dating the nicest guy I have ever been with. He understands and accepts me in ways no one else has ever before. We have been dating for four months. A week ago, I was…

Meredith, I hate modern dating. I find it unsettling that the acceptable courtship procedures dictate a swift, yet faux, intimacy through text. If I get so much as a "good morning" text (let's not even get into "wyd" or "u…

I started to call her but thought, "I’ll let her reach out to me next." She didn't.

At the end of the semester, he told me that he liked me but agreed that he didn't want to do long-distance or have a serious relationship at this point.

Now we're back together, and I'm trying to find ways that we can open up to one another more regularly and understand each other better moving forward.

Dear Meredith, How do couples find couple time when their kids stop going to bed long before the parents do? By the time we get our kids to bed, we're too drained even to have kid-free conversations about important things,…

Dear Meredith, I just listened to Season 5, Episodes 6 and 7 of the podcast. I am a divorced dad of teens and have sworn to myself that I will not introduce anyone to my teenage kids until they are…

Our vacation with friends took a weird turn between my husband and the couple's wife.

Dear Meredith, I've been married to my high school sweetheart for 20 years now and we share three children who are all in their teens. I'm not completely sure how it all started, but our relationship has been on the…

Three years ago, I met a guy through friends who immediately started flirting with me. I was 17 and he was about 21 – four years older. We clicked and started going out sometimes and texting. He told me he…

I'm sick and tired of the fighting.

The pandemic has been really hard on him and I don’t want to hurt him any more than I may have already.

I am trying to take each day as it comes, however, I feel like I am waiting for the shoe to drop. Like he will realize he just needs time by himself to be single and figure out ...whatever.

All my friends think that I would have more success with a younger man. But THAT much younger?

I have been married to my husband for over two years now. We are a sort of an arranged match as in we were introduced by our families. But the decision to marry was entirely ours, and my husband was…

... a sexual relationship was never the priority from day one.

I told him I couldn't do this anymore and that I am moving out. I have not heard from him since.

The problem these days is completing the task.
