... if I had given her space I don't think any of this would be an issue ...

She then told me that they were intimate two years ago but it never led to anything more.

Hi Meredith, I am a middle-aged woman. A couple of years ago, my husband died suddenly. He was it. We spent the better part of a decade traveling, enjoying life, and loving each other. The loss left me dark, broken,…

I want to believe him but I have this horrible feeling that he's lying to me.

He has actually been quite cold.

I called her, didn’t get a response, and then sent a bunch of frustrated messages.

I seriously question whether our moral foundations are too different for a more serious relationship to work.

Hi Meredith, I met a man online 10 months ago. We met in person and I fell for him quickly. We ended up going on 10 dates in two weeks, but then I found out he was in an open…

The problem is that sometimes I just want to hang out and talk about something without arguments and analysis.

I'm a planner and would like to start logistically discussing our next steps.

Dear Meredith, I have been friends with "Joe" for about eight years. We started hooking up about two years ago, a few months after I broke up with my boyfriend (a friend of his). From the beginning, he was pretty…

Why not just call it what it is?

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

Even though I think he's interested, I don't know for sure.

A few months ago, though, this male friend texted my girlfriend some explicit messages.

He told me I am overbearing and don't give him a chance to breathe.

There’s been no real talks of the future and what we have in mind.

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

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.

You see, I get pretty obsessive when I like someone.

We talked about trying an open relationship when we go back to school, but we're worried one or both of us might start having feelings for other people.

Hi Meredith, I am a 58-year-old woman who has been separated from my ex-husband for six years, and divorced for over a year. I am just now feeling confident enough to try out dating, but am not sure the best…

I know that he cheated on his last girlfriend with multiple other women.

I'm frustrated and not interested in a pen pal.

There is such thing as a "courtesy swipe" (when you swipe on someone you know just to be nice). I don't do it though.
