It's an ongoing discussion with my best friend. Without personal history or background right now, he says that no woman ever actually wants a relationship where her guy is seeing other women. He...

After a 17 year marriage and drawn out divorce, I'm cynical enough about the legal institution of marriage to agree with the OP on this point. That said, I'll probably get married again one day.
...

This involves a couple of friends, Jack and Katie. Katie has been in a relationship for 10 years but always complains about it, her BF not committing to marry her, etc. Jack has been chasing Katie...

Having been on the other side of that and taking time to see myself clearer, I have to agree with Michelle23. In my first post-separation relationship I told - or tried to tell - little white lies...

Valixy, I think that's a very good and understanding reply. Thanks.

A few other things...

She is almost 40 and has chronic health problems, plus lost both her parents when they were fairly...

I was your age, almost 24, my first time. I'm not sure what advice I'd give. I'd had a few relationships, but brief and far between, and no confidence in myself (something I still struggle with.) ...

I'm in my mid-40s, kids - 15 and soon 12. Was in a 2 1/2 year relationship after my divorce which ended painfully last year. Dated casually all last Fall. Then one woman I started seeing...

* Resolve the previous relationship before you start a new one. I'm really bad about this, as soon as one is definitely over I am jumping into the next, or at least looking. I justify if by the...

Had to jump in on this. My mom and dad's house has 4 bathrooms but one is a tiny water closet off the kitchen, right next to the dining room. Just a toilet and sink, so narrow you can barely turn...

I think I'm clouding the issue. Here's a question for the women: if you are trying to decide whether you need to pursue your desire to have another child and have told your man you need to figure...

very good questions. she questions whether she is even still fertile, and she has a "bad" case of PCOS which makes me think it's even less likely on top of her age. I think if I said yes, and we...

I think this is one for a woman's perspective.

I met someone new last summer, though we kept our distance because I was going through a bad breakup (had nothing to do with her, the woman I was...

Since the breakup of my last LTR this year, I've been maddeningly in tune (only in my head, my singing sucks) with crappy, sappy pop breakup songs. My kids know my "no Gotye allowed" rule, and if I...

Two weeks ago I got a Facebook event invite for a party in December. I wrote the hostess back that i was looking forward to going, but didn't click that I was going because I had to see if I could...

the biggest risk IMHO is that when the relationship falls apart you will also lose her as a friend

About the woman with whom I broke things off recently and I said went "psycho" - It's true that I didn't discuss any of the red flags in my original post. I'm a little uncomfortable discussing...

I appreciate the support and the criticism. I realize I didn't provide a very coherent account, or many facts.

As to holding onto a relationship. I've been in 2 serious relationships since my...

I'm not really seeking advice, just sharing recent experiences being back in the dating game for the first time since 1991. I was seeing someone exclusively then married them, lasted 17 years, then...

I'm reluctant to admit this, but over the past few months I went through a protracted breakup of my first post-divorce relationship. I was married 17 years, then with my new GF over 2 years, fell in...

My wife and I did on the first date, and it was a blind date to boot! We ended up together for 20 years (married 17, though the last 2 we were separated) and 2 children.

I'm not sure I can...

It's over. It was probably over a few months ago; but neither of us was quite ready to give up on it (or maybe just needed to wind it down without feeling guilty.) We were communicating again for a...

Not often, but a year or more after my wife and I split I still had waking dreams about being with her. I was never really sure what to make of that, and I never told my GF.

I did, not just on a first date but on a blind date, and ended up married to her for 17 years (and 2 children. the first did not arrive until 7 years after that first date, so we didn't get married...

Thanks for the responses here. Although painful, and I'm still not sure I completely agree with it, I followed the advice most people gave and did not contact her in any fashion. Now that she has...

I intentionally gave the barest of details when I made my original post because I didn't want to complicate things, and was reluctant to post too much personal information. I'm going to backfill...
