I want to get married and have kids.

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…

I'm a 26-year-old woman and have never been in a relationship. I mostly hang out with friends. I have known a man for more than a decade. We met online and he had a girlfriend. A couple of years later,…

We are not at the point yet where I am having to drive him around but I guarantee if that ever happens, I will become resentful.

I'm a woman in my late 30s. I've had some serious and not-so-serious relationships in the past. I'm currently single and looking for something real. I'm not interested in FWB or a hookup at this point. I'm not necessarily looking…

Sometimes he offers to help. but I am very independent and I always say no.

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

Dear Meredith, In short, I tend to overcomplicate things. I don't have a problem meeting people and going on dates. I think dating is fun. But I've been taking a break from it for a few months after a run…

But is it worth going through all this just to maybe be together in the future?

He told me that he got attention from her (on top of being hammered) and took advantage of a situation, immediately regretting it.

I'm a liberal democrat and he's a more conservative republican.

His best friend and her best friend are getting married soon, and he's in the wedding.

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…

... when we're not in front of each other, he goes cold.

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 help my friends with their love lives and get excited for them, but I haven't been in a relationship since fifth grade.

I wasn't in the mood to hear it. Because he prioritized his "me time" too much.

But he doesn't want to lose his sister or father in the process, nor does he want his mother's irrational tirades to ruin our future together.

I don't know whether I should cut things off now to protect myself.

I have not integrated my boyfriend into our lives, though they have met him a few times.

I am rather confused about this situation and would appreciate to hear your thoughts.

Finally there is someone who is interesting; he’s new to my company, single, and I have a crush.

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?
