I don't want to ruin our precious time together by having this type of conversation, but I know we should discuss it eventually.

I recently discovered that he had been texting and visiting an ex-girlfriend.

Maybe he'd be better off with some one who inspires him to be better at being in a relationship.

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

Dear Meredith, In 2010, I met a good man who lived near my father's house in New York. He was from another country – one with political turbulence – and he had worked with my father for almost eight years.…

My biggest issue is with money. He and I both make a decent amount of money, but he's a bit cheap with it.

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…

I know I have a responsibility to myself to make sure I am living the life that I want to live.

That's when the relationship ended – when I made that suggestion.

Should I leave this man, or hope that one day he will change his mind and pursue a more financially generous career?

My wife has known her for a few years; they used to work together in a different company.

Should I just take full control of finances?

He blamed it on wintertime. He refuses to see a doctor about it.

The major drawbacks would be his social and financial status, which do not match mine.

Even when a woman offers to split the tab, I decline.

He's an amazing guy and has done nothing wrong, which makes it that much more difficult.

Why didn't I ask him about the specifics of our finances before? Because he always said we'd be fine.

When we argue, which isn't too often, out comes the "I do a lot for you" comments.
