Shortly after turning 30 in 2019, I started dating the sweetest woman of all time. Though we had different political views on certain issues and came from different religious backgrounds, we made it work. Of all the people I brought…

I am 40 and have the worst luck with men. It's probably not as bad as I see it, but I am so discouraged by the caliber of men I meet. I want a good man, not young-minded male who…

Dear Meredith, I'm still in love with my ex. I live in Florida and he lives in my hometown, Chicago. I met him online last year, so I decided to stay with my mom in Chicago to start a relationship…

I met this guy on a dating app. He was hilarious, kind, and he also seemed thoroughly interested in me. We hit it off immediately and started talking about how he's supposed to get a huge job in Ohio. Almost…

Dear Meredith, My boyfriend (25) and I (23) have been together for a little over two years. We met during my senior year of college and grew a lot closer during the pandemic because we lived close to one another.…

In 2019 I saw him for the first time in Boston (we agreed to see each other somewhere we both had never been).

I told him I want more, which is when he set boundaries. Hugs, no kisses.

All of my friends who were in different transportation areas of Boston either have moved to be closer to partners or split up.

During my time talking to her, she showed a pattern of only answering non-serious questions and not answering serious questions or only answering them if I followed up multiple times.

He told me he didn’t want to live without me and he had always imagined kids and marriage with me but right now he needs to get himself right.

At the end of the semester, he told me that he liked me but agreed that he didn't want to do long-distance or have a serious relationship at this point.

In this world, there's flights, phones, and social media. To me, it wouldn't be that hard to hang on to what we have, even if that means we have to have it in a different form.

The closer it gets, the more I don’t want to go.

I just don't think that for her happiness or my own, I can realistically remain in her life the way I hoped.

I feel like he expects me to bring in the funds even though he hasn't said that.

I know I'm young and my mind could change, but both of our views of life are pretty different.

I was so sure that I didn't want to be forced through the turkey dump, and that I wanted our relationship to end on a good note, but ...

In the moment he asked, I went on autopilot and said yes, although every bone in my body screamed no.

Dear Meredith, I need to ask ... how do I confess my true feelings to someone I know I love? With a troubling past preventing me from revealing how I truly feel, how can I overcome these heartbreaking feelings that…

He said he still wants to see me and wants me to visit. I don’t know how to proceed.

I am really excited and very much in love, but I know there will be some adjustments going from seeing each other maybe once a month to living together full-time.

... or do I try my best to forget him?

I want to hold on.

... my dream is to be out there, where I've wanted to move long before we even started dating.

I was in a very bad place in my life and then I met him. He was 10 years my senior and he lived in another state. He brought beauty, laughter, and hope with him. Needless to say, the casual…
