They denied intentionally concealing this important aspect of their life.

Neither of us ever married, and now I'm ready.

Dear Meredith, I have been dating a man 25 years older than me for about a year now. Some of the challenges we face are expected. His two children don't like me and attempted to break us up in December.…

I lost my husband about two years ago. I got on a social website and met a guy who was very interested in me. The chemistry took off immediately. We began talking every day, multiple times a day. We started…

My ex contacted me a year after our breakup. She (28) broke up with me last year after a 10-year relationship. She started developing feelings for her male best best friend. I (a 27-year-old man) worked on myself during that…

Hi Meredith, My boyfriend and I are in our mid and late 20s. He's the best person I know; he's hardworking, a family guy, smart, funny, and a gentleman. We've been together a little over half a year, but have…

... while in my hometown for Thanksgiving, I ran into my ex-boyfriend

I can't bring anything up if an ex was involved at all.

Hi Meredith. I've had a pretty turbulent two and half years. I sold my business and house, moved to a different area and set up new business, divorced my husband/business partner of 21 years after I fell deeply in love…

Dear Meredith, I just went through a miscarriage and am grieving. My boyfriend has been a big help throughout this. However, his baggage has been adding stress. That baggage isn't a new problem – it has been a consistent pattern…

My high school boyfriend and I had a passionate but toxic relationship. He would cheat on me and I would always forgive him. That began in 2012, and we were on and off again from 15 to 18. I broke…

Dear Meredith, I left my longtime partner and moved out of our house earlier this year. We haven't sold it yet, and he lives there with his (formerly our) dog. The dog is ... very high energy and a lot…

I'm really struggling.

To him, it’s a non-issue, and keeping it a secret as a favor to ex was the least he could do.

I was with my ex for seven years. We were married, had kids, and he had a lot of issues. We both did. He turned out to having a drug problem and developed a dangerous and violent drinking habit. We…

I asked him why he couldn't just block her and move on, and he said, "It isn't about moving on. I promised her I would be there for her, even after we broke up."

When we moved in together, I already had trust issues.

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

The spark was still there and there was no denying it, but it had just been so toxic we didn't want to hurt each other again.

They're now best buddies who co-parent two adults, who, in my opinion, are simply rude.

I have been working on my toxic personality and trying to change what ruined the relationship.

I know it's unhealthy to think this, but I feel like he is just with me because of my pregnancy.

Keep in mind, I liked this guy from when I was 12 to about 17.

Every time I go to my ex's social media, I tell myself, "this is going to hurt you" ... yet I do it anyway.

I'm moving past my jealousy and anxiety about it, but it really weighs me down.
