Hi Meredith, I've been dating my boyfriend on and off for about 10 years – sounds like a long time, I know, but there were a few things that put a hold on our relationship. For example, we started a…

I guess I'm just afraid that it will make my heart hurt all over again.

Things feel so magical and confusing and frustrating all at once.

I just feel like I'm being pulled in so many directions.

Hello, My boyfriend and I started dating around mid-March. He's 20 and I'm 19, and it's a same-sex relationship. We met through school. It was an intense relationship that slowly grew over the spring/summer. He was so kind – I…

Here I am in Finland, and I have just been dumped (or not) via FaceTime after an eight-year relationship.

I've been dating a man – who is still married – for one year. We talk, FaceTime, and text multiple times a day. We started talking in August 2018 and began our long-distance relationship that September. During spring break of…

I know the grass isn't always greener, but I don't think that's what I'm dealing with here.

He is also 21 years old (1.5 years younger than me).

I think the proximity is part of what is making it hard to forget him, knowing he’s is back for the summer and in my hometown.

I have a list of things I value in a person and he checks off everything except one.

I always thought it was just puppy love and that I would just get over it or meet someone new.

Later, after he found out I had spent the night with someone else, he called and said he thought about me a lot and worried that he might not find someone as great as I am.

I know people suggest talking finances and children before considering marriage, but what do you suggest talking about before trying again and moving for love?

I felt like I had been cheated on, even though we never said we would be together.

He lives all the way in England while I'm in the US.

It's been over two years now and I am exhausted from the plane rides, the FaceTime calls, and the fact that we only ever see each other one weekend a month.

But despite my graduation and departure being almost eight months away, both my partner and I have felt a growing sense of impending doom when it comes to my leaving.

I'm about to leave my country for him and he is not giving me the feeling of being loved.

My friends had told me to make a grand gesture and I wanted to, but then I decided not to in the moment.

How can I talk to him about this without sounding like I want to shut down his travels all together?

Like, how do we just go on being friends after that? Isn't it clear to him that I want more?

Hi Meredith, I dated a guy for almost a year and he ended up going back home, overseas. He has plans to work in another country and eventually move back to the country where we met, albeit in a another…

I want to enjoy the time we have left together, but lately I feel so sad every time I'm around him.

Our communication ended up being random texts throughout the day whenever we could send them, but never long and meaningful conversations.
