I told him she's holding him hostage emotionally but he refuses to see it.

... which I say right back to her out of politeness.

What the hell is that? Some sort of five-year string pulley torture device?

A part of me feels like I should apologize for slapping him.

I just feel like my loneliness last year made all of this happen.

I just don't want to be left in the dark, you know?

I recently saw that he is back on dating sites, so I know his contact is not an attempt to rekindle anything.

I really want to have a more defined relationship with her, but when I have brought it up, she says she just wants to be single for a while.

Dear Meredith, I'm having trouble navigating the limbo I'm in with my former boyfriend, B. B is my first serious relationship. We really love each other, though we've certainly had problems. B and I have been together for about two years…

After eight months, she told me she had an eating disorder and that she was going for treatment.

I feel stupid even asking, but don't want to give up after eight years because I don't understand how pop-up ads work.

I met a guy on a dating site last year. We spoke for like three hours before agreeing to meet that night at a bar for dinner and drinks. We instantly hit it off and things were going great. The…

I've let a traumatic experience with an intruder haunt me for many years. I've allowed myself to live in utter chaos; my apartment is a mess, I have entirely way too many possessions, and I don't have people over. I've…

He is angry. He packed up and left.

I googled him in various creative ways (neither of us is on Facebook) to figure out what he's up to.

The two years following our break up, I was hardly sober enough to miss him.
