Hi there, My now-ex partner and I had been together for two and a half years and lived together for a little less than two. Things were great; we had such deep connection, and – being in our mid-20s –…

I am in my mid-20s and recently came to the realization that I am a queer woman. I broke up with my boyfriend of two years after sorting out my feelings. We both agreed to take some time to ourselves…

She's the most beautiful person I've ever met, and everyone I know adores her and warned against me letting her go.

Dear Meredith, Some background: I'm a 46-year-old woman, born and raised in Europe, came to the U.S. decades ago. When I was in my late 20s, I married a nice man. After seven years of what I thought was a…

He tells me he loves me all the time and I mean a lot to him, but somehow I'm not sure if I believe it or if I’m just his cash cow.

I had an affair with a man for more than five years. We had ups and downs. I got divorced at the beginning of when we met. For now he is separated, but about to start the divorce process. His…

Dear Meredith, I'm a 30-year-old man who has a female friend who used to be a fling. She's getting married in a year, and I'd like some advice about whether I should share my feelings with her before then. Backstory:…

I'm 22. I got along really well with a friend of mine, and eventually we liked each other as more than friends. We dated, but after a bit she got bored of the relationship and broke up with me, but…

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…

Furthermore, he has a life insurance policy where she is still the beneficiary.

When we were together, I didn't value her, I never posted pictures of us on social media, and would keep the relationship a secret

He was also telling her about my personal issues, regularly lending her hundreds of dollars, and downplaying our relationship.

I love him and know he loves me but I know this isn't healthy for me.

I know deep down I'll always be hoping we can reconcile.

... he doesn't want us to divide our things in our apartment yet, because he has hope for us.

I have a sad question. How do you break up in quarantine together? Unfortunately there is a lot of backstory to my question. This is my perspective of our history, and I'm now realizing he has a very different understanding…

I have known this guy for almost two years. We met online and actually dated for the first few months we knew each other. It was so nice and he was actually the first person I dated seriously. We would…
