Miss You Issues: Direct Communication
Dear Miss U, So this guy and I aren't officially dating, but he calls me his internet girlfriend and always jokes about us being together. We used to talk all day every day for a couple months. It has died down to maybe once a week or less. (I'm on a 2 month vacation) He still always says he misses me and tells me I'm amazing when I'm down. He still always brings up coming to see me, but the lack of communication this past month and a half has really dwindled my trust and feelings for him. I ... -
Miss You Issues: Words Are Wind
Dear Miss U, I'm currently in Texas and I moved from California. I have been talking to a guy from California for about 6 months now. We are happy, we both like each other and care for one another. He has gotten out of a 3 year relationship 2 months before we started talking. Recently I brought up the relationship topic and making it official, and he used to always just say he's still hurt and afraid of being hurt again and needs time. For the first time he brought up distance to me. He says... -
Miss You Issues: Limited Solutions
Dear Miss U, My partner and I are about 10 hours travel from each other, and only get to see each other once every two months, for 1-2 weeks. I'm finding the relationship increasingly challenging due to the controlling nature of his mom. He lives at home with his parents and younger brothers, and has never moved out, whilst I've lived independently at college for 3 years. The trouble is, she complains when he spends money to come visit me - and even wouldn't allow me to buy a ticket for him one... -
Miss You Issues: Cautious Love
Dear Miss U, Me and my bf have been dating for 4 months. I've known him for 5 months. We met through my nephew who's also in the navy. We met after talking for 1 month. I've only met him one time. He came down for a weekend and we decided to become official. I knew he was something special from the moment we started talking. When we started talking he was stationed in Charleston, SC and now he's in Groton, CT. The distance is putting a strain on us but I know he's worth it. My parents don't reall... -
Miss You Issues: Your Partner's Social Life
Hi, I'm "Monster" and I am 21. I am from a Southeast Asian country while "Apple" is from the Scandinavian region. We were very happy with each other when we were okay but we had this on-off relationship 3 times already (at the moment, we were not yet back together). Just this day (01 June), she said that a guy who likes her makes her feel hurt and she does not wanna tell me why. She is a very pretty lady and I know that she could attract lots of men online and even if we were not back together,... -
Miss You Issues: Actions Speak Louder
Dear Miss U, My boyfriend and I have known each other for a long time and we have been really close friends for most of this time. We started dating a little while ago, and he moved again shortly after. So far we have been visiting each other, texting, calls, etc. But he wants me to move in with him (3 hrs away). I have always wanted to get out of this city but I haven't been very impulsive in my life...I have a work contract keeping me here till November... After that I'm moving up with him... -
Miss You Issues: Fairness
Dear Miss U, I had a crush on a guy I was friends with when I was 16, we were both to chicken to act on it, because both of us didn't know how the other felt. When we did finally admit out feelings for each other he had relocated to Australia... We have been speaking over the phone for the past to years and I have fallen deeply in love with this man, I don't think I could ever find someone who accepts me quite like he does. And let me emphasize on how difficult I can be, but yet he embraces my... -

We've spent the majority of our relationship apart except for 1 year when he came here and lived with me..

Miss You Issues: Wanting More
Dear Miss U, The woman I am speaking with has already mentioned in a group video chat with a group of our friends that she has no problem with a LDR, however she lives very far away, emphasis on the very. She is great though, in many ways, I mean sure there are faults, but who doesn't have faults. She has a great personality, she is funny, beautiful eyes, brown hair, fun to hang out with, and to be honest she is a bit of a tomboy. She usually goes for blonds, (I am a brunette), and tends to go... -
Miss You Issues: A Touch Of Romance
Dear Miss U. Me and my girlfriend have been dating for over a year. She lives about 250 miles away (we dated 6 months before she moved). I don't mind the distance as much because we always talk on the phone and text but she does. She just can't handle being away from me for so long. We both still love each other deeply, but she can't take the stress and is thinking about breaking up. We both don't want to, but she feels like she has to because she can't take it. I was wondering if there is an...

Dear Miss U, I have been having a tough time going through the distance. I love my boyfriend with all my heart, and I want nothing to come between us, but that is very difficult with my parents. My parents are very strict, I can't make any decisions in my life, and when I try to make a decision, I am usually yelled at and hit. Making me more and more depressed. The worst that has ever happened is that I have been choked by my own father by a decision I tried to make. Me and my loved one talk on...

Dear Miss U,
I recently realized I had to move away from my boyfriend of 3 months, I want to know if there's anything I need to know about starting a long distance relationship? My boyfriend knows and really wants it to work as well.
Zelda Dear Zelda, I feel the only thing people need to know about starting a long distance relationship is that you need to treat the relationship and your partner the same, regardless of proximity. That means making time for ea...-

Dear Miss U, Me and my boyfriend have only ever met once and he proposed to me to be my girlfriend through phone calls. He's currently out of town because of his thesis and his work, and we haven't seen each other for half a year. We are both Cancers and very affectionate and I know he loves me, but sometimes he does this thing every month where he says that he is tired of our conversations everyday that seemed too monotone for him. He wants me to contribute more to the conversation and I swear...

Dear Miss U, Recently you gave me advice on how to deal with the pain caused by such a large distance. It was fantastic advice and worked well but unfortunately I find myself in need of your advice again. I have been paying for a trip to India through an organization called world challenge and they are offering a once in a lifetime opportunity that could even help me get jobs etc. in the future, although it costs a lot of money and keeping up with payments can be stressful. I've also been lookin...

Dear Miss U, My partner and I both want to move in together since we have both had our fair shares of long distance relationships. He is trying to find a job here with no luck (he hates his job). I might have found one for myself in his town, and his family is way more supportive than mine. I am going to a tour around that prospective job in his town but I am dreading it. My current bosses are so nice to me. They even got my partner an interview here. My biggest concern is they just fin...

Dear Miss U, The distance just makes things hard to fix. It seems I'm being a crappy girlfriend. I haven't been the best lately. I feel it's because I have resentment held. We've discussed it & it just hasn't gotten any better feeling for me. He has issues with my sexual style compared to his, but it's mostly about what's wrong with me. The other night over Skype, I was telling him about my chiropractor appointments to help my chronic muscle tension. Since the beginning, we've disc...
