Latest Love Letters headlines

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.

When answering these questions, he says he doesn’t know.

I was a late bloomer – didn’t date in high school and had my first kiss at age 19 – and I feel like I’ve been playing catch-up ever since.

I enjoy spending time with him but now I am not so sure I should be.

A studious 28-year-old wants to settle down but would rather not have to swipe right.

I don’t want to let go, but I have worries that we met too early in life.

One year in, I thought we were in love.

Like, how do we just go on being friends after that? Isn’t it clear to him that I want more?

I know her first name and the neighborhood she lives in. Should I try to find her?

My question: Is there any chance of a lasting relationship between us?

I like to say that the reason I never seriously dated anyone was because I didn’t want to risk bringing the wrong man around my daughter, but I think I was more afraid of being hurt again.

He tried to kick me out of our hotel room. So why can’t I leave him?

Now single, I thought: Wow, is this finally my opportunity with him?

I always imagined myself having more time to be single, and that I’d have more relationship experience before finding someone who I’d want to marry.

I see no point in fighting with him about it because it’s already been done and he’s upset that he’s caused me more stress.

I know I ruined our relationship with my hasty decision-making, letting emotions get the best of me. I want him back.

I know this probably sounds like the beginning of a cringey, stereotypical problem, but hear me out.

I wait for my husband to go to work so I can talk to “W.” I hate holidays because my husband is always around and I don’t have the chance to talk with W.

She’s hesitant to move too quickly but she’s also afraid she could miss out.

I broke it off after the third time, literally walking out of our hotel room. I have not dated anyone since.

When he isn’t drinking, our relationship is amazing.

He says he loves me in his life, but he also loves his ex-wife, as she has done nothing wrong. (They had separated because of no physical intimacy for one year, and then he left her.)

He said yes, but since our date it’s been awkward.

I’ve regretted saying it ever since. It’s not like me to say something like that.

Now he has been asking me if I would ever consider getting back with him. I am scared because I practiced a lot of self-care in order to heal.

After my last breakup, I’ve been unable to muster the nerve to go online.

Should I send him a message or just deal with my thoughts? Because I have no idea how he would feel about me being there, or if he actually cares about it or not.

The teen is not her child. The other day, my boyfriend brings home her 2-year-old (he is not the father of the baby), who spends the whole weekend at our house.

One, she’s married! Two, she’s leaving.

During the time we were both apart emotionally and physically, I started seeing my first boyfriend again.

How do I get back the idealist I fell for?

It was confusing and pretty upsetting given that first date had gone so well. Plus, I’d already let my mind start running away with ideas of a second date.

I know there are great guys out there, and everyone keeps telling me that it’s just a matter of time, but I’m wondering if I’m trying too hard.

All I hear is “friend this, friend that.”

I’m wondering . . . was it even a good idea to re-enter each other’s lives, knowing our history?

I want to enjoy the time we have left together, but lately I feel so sad every time I’m around him.

I’ve learned that when I am upset, I have to stay quiet, take a few deep breaths, and let myself calm down before I can come back to it. He wants to work it out now!
