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…

Even when we live together for weeks upon end, we get along better than a dream.

When we began long-distance, I think we both imagined it would never be more than a few years. Right now it feels like there's no end in sight.

Now he returns home in a week and I'm wondering if he will call me when he gets out. Should I answer? Is it a good idea to see him?

What am I supposed to do?! Move in with him right now? Kidding....sort of.

He doesn't want to come back; I can't just relocate.

I moved out of state during the pandemic to try and "strike gold" with a new job.

... this fantasy is not a COVID-related "should I contact my ex" thing, although maybe that is in the mix a little too.

I'm not sure what to do because most days, the limbo is OK but, other days, I wish we were in a real relationship.

I have the best time when I'm with him, but it's hard not to imagine how life would be different if we weren't together.

I have a sad question. How do you break up in quarantine together? Unfortunately there is a lot of backstory to my question. This is my perspective of our history, and I'm now realizing he has a very different understanding…

This morning he locked the cat in the bathroom for a timeout.

Hi Meredith, My fiancé and I are a couple of weeks away from eloping and I've been getting cold feet more often as we've inching closer to the big day. It's not that I'm afraid of committing to this person…

My greatest fear is that I'll have wasted my time waiting for a guy who doesn't want to marry me – that I'll be 35 and left single and devastated.

Why are we both still holding on to this dysfunctional relationship?

We just don’t understand how something so painful could be the correct answer.

He seems to drift in whenever we are closer geographically, or recently because COVID has everyone a little more bored than usual.
