Latest Love Letters headlines

As we spent more time together, our lunches started feeling more like dates.

It’s been a month and I haven’t received my stuff even though she told my friend she sent it back.

The back story is that the stress had been piling up with school, work, loss of a parent, etc. That and doing long-distance. Flying to visit every few months for holidays ... it was a lot.

Dating is a source of anxiety, but she also finds her values don’t seem to mesh well with matchmaking sites.

Meanwhile, her parents don’t even know she’s dating him.

I want to tell him that I love him and I want to fight for him and be there for him.

They’re in love. But her boyfriend was keeping a secret. What should she do now?

Sparks are flying for this north-of-the-border couple, but he wants to move out of the country.

I am newly 39 and my boyfriend of nine months broke up with me on our last day of vacation, which was also the day after my birthday.

In some ways, based on interests, he is almost like the male version of me.

I feel I have to sort through their individual problems and the problems they have with each other. It’s leaving me drained, exhausted, and very much alone.

Should I be dating older women? I hear they don’t like 24-year-olds.

After breaking things off, he still wants to talk every day.

Even though I know the breakup freed both of us, he is dragging my name through the mud.

How do you know it’s forever? Or if it’s not? Listen today as Meredith Goldstein tackles these questions and more on the first two episodes of the season.

I’ve had good first dates, but then they ghost me. I had better luck in the real world. Should I go back?

We’ve been together eight months and it has seemed too good to be true in many ways.

Have you written a letter to someone you love(d) and not sent it? Composed a confessional email to an unrequited crush or drafted a dispatch to someone who let you down? Psychotherapist and “Where Should We Begin?” podcast host Esther Perel and Love Letters columnist and podcast host Meredith Goldstein explore the messages we keep to ourselves in (unsent) Love Letters.

The first unsent letter is a poem--short thoughts about wishes and dreams. It’s a seven-stanza missive to a colleague engaged to someone else.

I have wanted to get out of my comfort zone for a while now, and this is the perfect way to do so.

I think the proximity is part of what is making it hard to forget him — knowing he’s is back for the season and in my hometown.

My fear is that if I say it first and he says it back right away, I’ll forever convince myself that he only said it to be polite.

I have a list of things I value in a person and he checks off all but one.

He said he didn’t love me enough. I’ve tried to move on.

My friends all tell me I should just talk to the guy, but I’d like to do something different.

I don’t want a divorce. I just would like for things to change.

I always thought it was just puppy love and that I would just get over it or meet someone new. But every time we see each other, our relationship progresses.

Our marriage was great in the beginning. Ever since we moved together, though, things have been going downhill.

During the semester I work about 35 hours a week, have an unpaid internship for 15 hours, and take classes. Free time can be tough to find.

Even when I ask him to go to the grocery store, he says he can’t.

I know people suggest talking finances and children before considering marriage, but what do you suggest talking about before trying again and moving for love?

... should I just say “whatever” and have fun?

What do you do when a onetime date, who had pulled a vanishing act, reappears suddenly?

I used to have a big crush on her, and now that I see a window opening, I want to go for it.

Our families will be doing Christmas together this year too, which could be a good or bad thing depending on how this goes.

We’ve been friends with benefits but here’s the thing – over the past few months we’ve been closer than ever.

Am I offbase to want her to stop spending time with this guy?

I have noticed that there has been one constant thing in my life — that I haven’t really fallen out of love with that first ex-girlfriend

Is this just because I am the oldest daughter/niece? Is my family seeing something I am not?

I told her I had to be in her city for a convention, but really I just went to see her. Do I say something?

In that same conversation he started talking about how he’s not as happy in the relationship, and through tears and I love yous, we broke up.

I was heartbroken and devastated. I felt like I had been cheated on even though we never said we would be together.

Q. A month ago, I met this guy on Instagram (we have the same interest in cosplaying). Within two weeks, we confessed our feelings for each other, even though it’s really out of character for me to fall for someone in such a short time. He lives all the way in England while I’m in the US, but we still manage to find good times to communicate. We talk about how much we care for each other, and get excited whenever we discuss my going to his city to study abroad for a semester next year. He’s really funny but can also be serious and a good listener. We’re able to get on along well and can talk without feeling pressure (given the circumstances; we are behind screens).

It’s been over two years now and I am exhausted from the plane rides, the FaceTime calls, and the fact that we only ever see each other one weekend a month.

I was shocked because he told me on the date that they’d just hooked up and nothing more.

He recently told me that he reached out to her two weeks ago because he thinks it could help him to get over her if he could talk to her about their breakup.

I tried to get her back. I even wrote a hand-written letter to her, but no answer. She ghosted me and just got on with her life.

After 3 years of a long-distance relationship, I’m upset that he planned a vacation with a friend.
