Long Distance Relationship Articles & Events

Dear Miss U,

My boyfriend and I met when he was studying as an exchange student. We dated for 3 months and a half before he had to leave to his home country. He lives 12 hours away by flight. It has been 3 months since he left. We have a good and happy relationship. We Skype every day for the last 3 months he is away. However, I can feel that I am longing for intimacy more and more; and last night when I was out with my girlfriends to a night club, I kissed another man who I was dancing with but it didn't go further than that. It felt good to be kissed, hold and 'closeness', but ...

Dear Miss U,

I know this relationship is worth it. We wait 6 months or more at a time to spend 2 days together. But the thing is our parents are in control of us. We can only see each other when our parents want to. We live 3 hours apart so our relationship is being dictated by them. When and how we see each other.

And it hurts most now because I saw him last weekend and I feel as though the pain will never go. It hurts the most now, than it has ever had before.

I feel like I want to give up, so the pain will go. But giving up means losing him and that ...

Dear Miss U,

Hi, I've been in an LDR for 3 months. We have an age difference, but we get along so well. We haven’t met in person yet, but hopefully we will this month. The thing is when we met online he was all over me (Facebook, messenger, and text... always read my Facebook posts) and was the most sweet and romantic guy in this world. I didn’t plan to fall for him, and at the beginning I also told him every time he said he loved me I told him I was not real. But we fell in love and we were so happy, until he broke his phone. He sent me a message on Facebook anytime he could, ...

Dear Miss U,

My girlfriend and I met about two years ago over Facebook, we've been on and off since then but the thing is, we never met. We Skype every day, talk on the phone every night, send each other gifts and other sentimental items in the mail, and do whatever we can to keep our relationship alive. We get a lot of hateful comments from people such as, "What 'relationship?' you're dating online? Get a life." We don't consider our relationship to be an online thing. Yes, that's where we met. But that's not where it revolves. Phone calls, texts, letters, anything other ...

Dear Miss U,

How to open up on the phone when he says I'm not expressing my feelings?

From Suzie

Dear Suzie,

Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest. The first things to consider are: Are you expressing your feelings? Do you feel like you are holding back? At the end of the conversation are there things you wish you’d been able to say? Or do you think he’s looking for something that just isn’t there?

Some people just aren’t emotionally gushy people. Sometimes feelings are plain and simple, they aren’t these big mysterious ...
