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.

All I hear is "friend this, friend that."

But as each day passes, it becomes harder and harder to pretend like these feelings for him aren't there

Now we don't talk as much as we used to, and I'm lucky if he opens my messages, let alone responds.

I pushed him away and said no because it's a bad idea, but then he kissed me again and I kissed back.

They joke my wife's friend is her "real wife."

Those friends are more independent and can easily go without seeing him for weeks on end, but he seems lost without them.

I am not judging her for how many people she has slept with ...

The problem is that the year ended with us two still friends, and then we both changed schools.

I was keeping these feelings to myself and drove myself batty thinking about it, so I am relieved that I finally said something.

The dream reminded me of everything that was good about us.

His best friend and her best friend are getting married soon, and he's in the wedding.
