I've been through serious break ups before, but that was when both parties could see it had ended for good.

Dear Meredith, In 2010, I met a good man who lived near my father's house in New York. He was from another country – one with political turbulence – and he had worked with my father for almost eight years.…

I think that after months of feeling nothing after I broke up with him, my heartbreak is just starting to kick in.

I should just walk away from this. The problem is, I will almost certainly see her again in person soon.

He says he is done with the distance, and it's either I move there or this relationship is over.

Dear Meredith, We're in love, but we'll be 7,000 miles away from each other for a year and a half. We made our relationship "official" and exclusive right before he deployed, after only about two months of dating. His deployment…

I started noticing that he would distance himself from me whenever we were around other people ...

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

I can't help but linger on the feeling that my failures broke us.

Four months later, he came home and announced he'd quit his job, taken back his old job in his home state, and told them he'd be there in three weeks.

I don't know if I should ask him if he's actually open to something more or if that will just push him away.

Meredith, Last fall, I moved from Massachusetts to be closer to my family, where the weather is beautiful and people are a lot happier and friendlier. I'm glad I am here. Before I left, I met a woman. We had…

Thank you for accepting my rant, and I am grateful for any and all guidance.

A letter maybe? Or a cute email? Some flowers?

I don't know what to do, whether or not it's right to reopen the issue.

Should I keep trying to make this "relationship" work?

I recently met the guy I've been looking for all my life. We have been spending nearly every weekend together, getting to know each other as much as we can. He lives two and a half hours away from me.…

Hi Meredith, I'm writing to you with the hope that you can give me some objective advice. I'm a 24-year-old woman in London who's been with my French boyfriend for more than three years. We met on holiday and fell…

Dear Meredith, I'm a 41-year-old woman, married, and I've been having an affair for the past seven years. I had been traveling a lot for work, so it was easy the first six years to jet off to his city…

The saving grace is that he called me the second after it happened, crying about how sorry he was.

Three years ago, I moved halfway across the country after meeting my boyfriend at a bar.

I've planned my life around her. She is my person.

He claims it would be weird if she didn't sleep in his bed, since they have before.
