Dear Meredith, I am a mid-40s single mother. I run my own business, so like many who are self-employed, my salary is inconsistent. I have been divorced for 10 years. Two years ago, I met my boyfriend. He was extremely…

Hi Meredith, I am currently in a relationship with this charming and handsome guy. We have been together for six months now. Our relationship is smooth so far; not much call for compromise. The issue is my mother. She's a…

He is 100 percent sure he doesn't want kids and I'm about 80 percent sure that I don't want children.

Hi Meredith! I have been a single mom for almost five years now. The split with my ex was pretty traumatizing and the co-parenting relationship between us hasn't been any better. I have been completely on my own since then,…

My siblings have a "trial phase" that all boyfriends/girlfriends have to go through.

Hello Meredith, My boyfriend and I have been dating for six months and we moved in together two months ago. He said he's telling his parents that we moved in together. He had the holidays to tell them but has…

He's never going to put his foot down with his family.

Meredith, I am in college. When I was 16, I met the love of my life. Unfortunately, for many reasons, my family despised him, and eventually he got banned from my house. My sister and I stopped talking for about…

All I wanted was to try one particular restaurant and to share a kiss on New Year's Eve.

They make him meals, check up on him to see if he has packed a lunch for work, make his bed, and clean his room.

I immediately objected to the surprise meal, insulted that he assumed I would take on this task without even asking me.

The inability to move from the house has me feeling trapped and gives me anxiety.

Is this relationship over?

My heart just can't quit.

I just don't know if he is the one for me and I refuse to marry again (he would like to) unless I feel like it is 100 percent right.

Years ago, when he introduced us, she made it clear that she was the primary woman in his life.

My family and my best friends love him. Soon, we will live in the same place again.

In the future, should I go with my family and let him host alone?

How do I stop myself from feeling anxiety about them doing things together?

She's great to me, my kids, my family, and everyone loves her. I have yet to express love to her though.

In contrast, my lifestyle involves a lot of family and friends.

I want to stick around but I feel there's no point.

Dear Meredith, I have been dating a wonderful man for almost two years, and we love each other deeply. However, he has two children with his ex-wife, and they don't know I exist. I can't continue much longer in the…

Over the past several months, I have expressed frustration with my spouse about what I perceive as a lack of sexual activity.

I'm having a hard time deciding if I should make an executive decision to let him go and experience the world on his own.
