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.

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

I feel like each of them has a hold on each of my arms and they're constantly pulling me in each direction.

It has gotten to a point where other people have noticed and addressed it to me unprompted.

In fact, Man is happily living under the same roof with his wife, who is a career professional with a busy schedule.

We are basically family.

He was uncomfortable with the thought of being with someone who would be friends with any guy.

We were still talking, albeit platonically.

I'm disgusted by the thought of it.

I never got any sort of goodbye or closure.

How much should I listen to my friends? I'm in my late 30s and I've been dating a guy for almost four years. We don't live together, but we spend every weekend together. I love him and feel that he…

I traveled to another country to visit my friend who's abroad at the moment, and she introduced me to her fling. We immediately hit it off and later, when we were really drunk at a party, we started making out.…

He's not a good conversationalist and kind of awkward.

'Stop adding my friends; they're my friends not yours.'

I feel like I'll resent him forever if I miss out yet again.

I've know my boyfriend for six years and we've been dating for almost two. I'm 22 and he's 23. We were best friends throughout all of high school and into college, and then we started dating. We just decided we…

We, of course, never had the conversation about what was happening between us.

When he decided to work things out with me, he told her what he was doing and that they were over, but she won't go away.

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

He's told his friends that he has no intention of marrying her, that he doesn't take their relationship or her seriously, and that she's just easy.

To start, this friend really dislikes me.

Thing is, two weeks later I discover through the grapevine that her boyfriend broke up with her.

Hi Meredith, Last summer I started a friends-with-benefits relationship with a man I met on Bumble. We had great communication and defined the terms – that we would be friends, get physical, and go out every once in a while.…

I'm not sure if I just love him like a brother or if I actually really like him more than a friend.

I'm not sure if this is just a friendship with benefits from his point of view, or if it could develop into something more.
