My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 10 years now. We don't want to get married and that's on me, not him (I'm not sure why everyone always asks). We met during college. I graduated, he didn't. That…

We love the same music, we love going out, and we are both very easygoing and share the same humor.

We've lived in the same city as friends, as a couple, and in different cities as a couple. That's why I feel we work so well – because we've had variation.

I want to see him, but I am also afraid those strong feelings will resurface and that I'll have to start all over again.

Can I change him to start being mature? Or should we go our separate ways?

I've personally never even wanted to get married, let alone have kids.

As I write this, I realize I’m only giving you part of the story.

He moved out while I was at work one day and when I came home, he was gone.

But is it worth going through all this just to maybe be together in the future?

It's as if I'm not over it. How do you move on from a breakup when you're still in the relationship?

Dear Meredith, It all started last summer when I moved in with my current best friend and her friend "Mike." I bet you can guess where this story is going. A recent theme in your letters has been "when you…

We've been married for three years and have a two year old.

She said that I'm the only person she can see herself with, but that's because I'm all she's ever known.

We don't have any other issues, so why does he go from 0 to 60 about small issues?

I don't understand any of it. I truly don't know what happened or where things went wrong.

And the fact that we aren't is starting to take its toll on me, and making me doubt our relationship.

I have been living with my boyfriend since last fall. We moved in together two months after we officially started going out, mainly because we lived down the hall from each other and he was sleeping in my apartment every…

He wants me to stay as I am, and while that is very sweet, I don't think he understands the kind of beauty standards and the pressure that is put on women.

My ex and I were together for seven years. It was a relationship that began in high school, and she has always been much more mature than I am. I've had a lot of problems throughout my life that I've…

Everything seems so out of order and it isn't because I haven't expressed my interest in marriage.

Dear Meredith, I have been with my boyfriend for more than five years. We recently moved in together. Our relationship has had its ups and downs, but despite everything we have been through, we decided to stay together. In the…

I feel like we’re an old couple at the age of 29 with kids (kids being our puppy).

Do you think he'll ever propose or is this delay tactic?

After dating my boyfriend for a year, we moved in together four months ago. I'm 31, but this has been my first relationship. I had confidence issues in my 20s. The first month of living together was good. We had…

Recently, I've met someone who is amazing, makes me feel wonderful, and truly cares about me in every way.
