It felt like I'd been dragged around, taken advantage of, and used as a backup plan, even though he insisted he "really valued me."

Should I ride it out? I love him so deeply, but what if I am not his one? What if he's never ready?

And the fact that we aren't is starting to take its toll on me, and making me doubt our relationship.

First time here. I am very spiritual girl and believe that some things are meant to be. A decade ago, when I was still a teenager and my friends were meeting their first boyfriends, I always refused boys because I…

He's hesitant to break up with her since it's a "perfectly fine" relationship and pursuing me feels like an equal risk.

So how soon is too soon to get back into the dating scene when you don't want to shove it in your ex's face?

I think we would be great together, but I wouldn't be able to provide for her.

I am single and 21, and I slept with this guy at a wedding – and actually had a great time.

I'm a divorced dad of two beautiful kids (young teens). I got divorced in 2010 and have shared custody with my ex-wife. In 2013, I met Beth (not her real name) a tall, caring, silly, loving, sensitive, and beautiful woman.…

I know that men operate with a different sense of time than women, particularly when they're going through a difficult time.

I continue to keep making plans with Z for our future but I am scared that I am staying with him out of obligation.

I don't think I'm good enough (financially, educationally) for the man I want to attract.

He wants me to stay as I am, and while that is very sweet, I don't think he understands the kind of beauty standards and the pressure that is put on women.

My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and a half. I knew him for a year before we got into a relationship. We've always been long-distance. At first we were in the same country but different cities,…

We dated, slept together many times (he's the best ever, FYI), and then moved to different cities.

... he can now see himself having a family.

Dear Meredith, I'm a 62-year-old upbeat, funny, athletic, younger-looking woman, who hasn't had a boyfriend, husband, or a date in 23 years. Nor have I had sex in 23 years. I was married 31 years ago, and found out that…

... he seems completely content to stay with me until death-do-us-part

Neither one of us are ready to meet the other person's family just yet; it's a big step and we are moving slowly.

My heart broke a little as I read the March Love Letter from a man who wanted a second date but didn't get one. When I got the part where the woman said, "I'm just not in the right frame…

He says it's strictly for the dog but I feel iffy at times ...

My ex and I were together for seven years. It was a relationship that began in high school, and she has always been much more mature than I am. I've had a lot of problems throughout my life that I've…

He pretended that he stopped eating meat months after we met.

I struggle to understand how I really feel about the relationship.

There's been numerous occasions where his friends will actually invite me and he'll either be quick to say "she's busy" or "she's not coming."
