Furthermore, he has a life insurance policy where she is still the beneficiary.

"I have only talked to my ex five or six times since we broke up and he always seems fine. He has a wonderful wife and family and is doing well."

... it has been so long since we discussed doing this, and not sure if there is interest anymore

Is there a way to communicate that I want to see and talk to him in person without adding pressure to the situation?

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.

My confidence has improved over the years, but I still carry this feeling of being a failure.

How long should one give to see if love is there?

Even though I like him and really see potential with him, I told him that I was not going to be waiting for him to come back.

Hi Meredith, I know what I want in a partner, despite being only 22. This is not to say I have a list or need certain physical traits, but over the course of growing up I've been in close proximity…

Thanks to the global pandemic, there is almost no chance of meeting love naturally "in the wild." Like many 20-somethings in the world, I turned to online dating. According to the internet, there was a 50 percent increase in downloads…

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?

I'm 37 and he's 30.

Hey, I saw your Instagram story about contacting exes after someone put it in their story (someone related to my ex). I split up with my ex pre-corona. Ten years of our lives together. Formative ones, as well (25-35). We…

While I know that I have to live my own life and be with the person who makes me so happy, I also feel like I am always missing moments.

I told him I didn’t want him talking to her and that if she reaches out to him again I want to see the texts.

He said and did all the right things to make me think we were on the same page.

Dear Meredith, I have been dating a guy for just about six months. I can't even put into words how amazing the relationship is. We started our dating relationship during the height of COVID, so we built a strong connection…

I can let go of the feeling of how incredible things were between us.

He also met up with at least two women while he was home in December and I suspect a few others when he went a few months before (after asking me to be exclusive).

A few days later, we had our third date, and she stayed over. We saw each other again the next night.

Can I come back from being halfway out the door?

This is especially hard for me, because I'm a person who needs a lot of freedom.

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

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.

The guy in romantic comedies that everyone wants to get the girl.
