Dear Meredith, I have been dating a guy for just about six months. I can't even put into words how amazing the relationship is. We started our dating relationship during the height of COVID, so we built a strong connection…

... do I need to forget this guy completely to have a truer relationship with my husband?

Can I come back from being halfway out the door?

I went after him because he was not gonna run away from this.

Not just sexts, but actual plans to meet up for sex that never seemed to pan out.

I don't want to lose either, but they may not be able to coexist.

I'm happy with him day-to-day, but am overcome with serious doubts whenever it comes time to make long-term future plans.

... it's like a relationship without the label of it.

I think she’s great, but we definitely still have more work to do before committing to a life together.

I do not want to come off as being so critical.

I'm asking for our relationship to be 100 percent real, and for him to be free and clear.

He often calls me "childish" and "emotional" and refuses to understand the impact his words have on me.
