I will not deny this relationship has had a myriad of problems over its multiple attempts.

I will admit that I ignored several warning signs.

Every time he thought I was going to leave, he'd ask me to stay longer. And he seemed to be everything I wanted.

Dear Meredith, I was recently in a relationship with a guy in the military. We had been dating for a little over five years and started dating in high school. I was with him through everything, including when he went…

I think we are both going to recover, but as of now I am sure she feels that I am moving on much faster than she is.

I don't think I'm in love with him right now but I would love nothing more than to be in love and in a relationship with him again in the future.

How do I deal with the hurt and loss when I was the one who did the dumping?

He couldn't give me a reason except that he just didn't want to be in a relationship anymore.

I can't imagine not having him in my life, no matter how much grief or heartache he has caused.

Completely heartbroken by his response, I fought back tears on the phone and told him that he could be the one to make the effort to talk to me then.

Meredith, I need another perspective on this. I'm a single woman and admit I jump into relationships too quickly sometimes. I've had long-term relationships and one marriage (I'm 46). I met a guy online and fell in love. I didn't…

Hi Meredith! Ten years ago I met my soul mate. I knew it immediately. Smart, sweet, and a beautiful co-worker who always had a similar viewpoint of ideas inside and out of the office. Within a week of our first…

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…
