Meredith, Last year, I finally ended an unhealthy eight-year relationship. Yay. I hadn't dated since I was 18 and was getting back into the swing of things when I met this amazing guy. He was thoughtful, motivated, kind, handsome, a…

My wife and I have been married for 25 years, and just like most marriages, it's had its ups and downs. But for the most part it's been great – until recently when I found out she was flirting with…

Meredith, I've been dating a guy (who I'll call Sam) for about seven months. But before we started dating, we were both in serious relationships. When Sam and I met last fall, I was in a four-year relationship that had…

Dear Meredith, A few months ago I met a man who I think might be the one. I'm in law school and he's a young professional. We met right before I moved to Boston to start my program. He's still…

I'm with a woman I love dearly. We are in our 40s. We were friends for 10 years before we got involved. The details of us getting involved are complicated. She separated from her husband a year ago. We had…

I'm 22. I got along really well with a friend of mine, and eventually we liked each other as more than friends. We dated, but after a bit she got bored of the relationship and broke up with me, but…

Shortly after turning 30 in 2019, I started dating the sweetest woman of all time. Though we had different political views on certain issues and came from different religious backgrounds, we made it work. Of all the people I brought…

So I get to date ... neither of them?

Can you offer some advice on how to battle insecurity and trust issues? I have had long-term relationships that ended very badly resulting in these insecurities. I am working through them as best as I can, however, I can't seem…

I matched with a woman in July of this year on one of the popular dating sites. We had four dates in total and all appeared to be going well, but about three weeks ago her texts started to taper…

Dear Meredith, I’m 23 and have never had a serious relationship. I always focused on studying and prepping for the future as my mother wanted. But then I see couples: happy, in love, cuddling, or kissing in the hallways of…

Hi Meredith, I wanted to write because I'm at an especially low and weird point in my life after a breakup. I'm a 34-year-old guy, and I'd describe myself as someone who has a good, stable life. I take care…

I'm a 33-year-old woman who has strong feelings for an older man at work. He's 61, divorced, and no kids. We have become good work friends and get along well despite the fact that we are opposites in many ways.…
