About eight months ago, I went through what feels like one of the hardest moments of my life. My six-year relationship – which I swore would last a lifetime – came to an abrupt end. And I say "abrupt" because…

It's been two weeks since then and I haven't seen her.

Hi Meredith, My boyfriend and I have been together for about seven years now. Last year we took a break for a few months and then decided to get back together. Ever since we have gotten back together, nothing has…

He is my first love and I am completely shattered.

He moved out while I was at work one day and when I came home, he was gone.

I just want to be in a relationship with him, even if he cant love me.

Meredith I am 36. Because of the nature of my work, I rarely meet available men. Two months after my breakup from a bad relationship, an old friend contacted me and we started seeing each other. He is my age,…

It's heartbreaking to see or hear him knowing that it's not in my best interest to engage with him.

Our feelings toward one another feel very mutual, yet he continues to stay firm at not being able to handle distance

Dear Meredith, I recently broke up with my ex. I am in my late 20s and she is in her late 30s. We had a great relationship at first. We met through swiping about two years ago. She was still…

The dream reminded me of everything that was good about us.

Dear Meredith, A few weeks ago, my boyfriend of 15 months came over to my house and broke up with me. I'm talking completely out of the blue, shocking me as if my breath got knocked out of me. His…

My boyfriend and I were dating for seven months before we almost broke up. For a long time, it felt like he wasn't trying, or at least not as much as I was. He wouldn't cheer me up, blaming it…

Hello Meredith, I recently had a breakup with a guy I was dating for about six months. It was a pretty intense relationship, and we spent almost every weekend together. We barely had any fights, and when we did have…

Even in the most fairy tale scenario – where he drives across the country, shows up with flowers at my doorstep and begs for us to work things out – I'm not sure I'd be able to forget our turbulent past.

He loves his kids very much, and whenever he misses a scheduled day with them (because of his business travel) he swaps it with “my” days by giving me notice.

I'm scared to pursue it because I could fall in love or maybe hurt her

It's as if I'm not over it. How do you move on from a breakup when you're still in the relationship?

I was really into her. I just didn't have the ability to show it yet.

Dear Meredith, I had just transferred colleges and was at orientation. "Jason" was on a sports team so he moved in early as well. I was invited to a party through a mutual friend, he and I met, hit it…

Hi Meredith, I've been out of a relationship for about a month now. My ex broke up with me over vague incompatibilities. Every since, I've been asking myself this question: What should I be looking to get out of a…

I buried my head in the sand to this reality and avoided talking about it ...

Dear Meredith, It all started last summer when I moved in with my current best friend and her friend "Mike." I bet you can guess where this story is going. A recent theme in your letters has been "when you…

I thought I was out of the woods...until I learned last week that these two had gotten married last weekend.

She said that I'm the only person she can see herself with, but that's because I'm all she's ever known.
