Miss You Issues: With Parents
Hi Miss U, My boyfriend and I are in a committed, long-term relationship. He and I met in undergrad, which we are graduating from later this month (May). I was accepted to graduate school in Pittsburgh - and we live in NYC. We are both in the theater industry. He is staying here to pursue his acting career, which I support. I am moving to Pittsburgh for the program, which is two years, and we plan on using bus to visit each other as much as possible. I also plan on moving from Pittsburgh after gradu... -
Miss You Issues: Talk Time
Dear Miss U, My long distance boyfriend and I go four months without seeing each other while he is working across the country. Lately he has been playing video games and/or watching movies literally all night till 5-7 in the morning, and then he sleeps away the whole next day and we hardly have any time to talk. When we do talk now we seem to be fighting about his sleeping habits. Am I wrong to get mad at him for taking away from the very little time that we do get to talk? This is my first ti... -
Miss You Issues: Quick Questions
Dear Miss U, I met this amazing guy on a cruise this past February. We instantly fell for each other. We only live 5hrs apart so we try to see each other every other weekend swapping turns. We get along perfectly but I worry because we haven't spent more than 4 days together. I have recently graduated from college and have a temp job which is about to be up. I have nothing holding me down where I currently live except for my lease. I am seriously considering moving up to where he lives becau... -
Miss You Issues: On The Same Team
Dear Miss U, She is in Pa, I am in Fl...extreme circumstances prevent us from simply flying to one or the other to meet & be together, but plans are in motion to resolve this... She is going through some extreme medical issues as well as very recent family member loss after gaining said family member back into her life - her heritage calls for private family time of mourning, which I understand, but even without this sad passing, there are times when I feel like I am losing her but then she... -
Miss You Issues: Heart Matters
Dear Miss U, I am currently in a long distance relationship that is lasting and has lasted for the past 14 months. Out of the 14 months we have seen each other 3 times during the year, amounting to 3 months of physical contact. I am living in South Africa she is living in Germany. I think it’s safe to say that this relationship has purely been based on emotions. Considering we've only seen each other 3 times. These emotions come with deep love, care, fondness, appreciation, warmth everything that ... -
Miss You Issues: Be Not Afraid
Dear Miss U, My boyfriend and I have been dating for two years and all is well, but something I still haven't done is call or video chat with him. He is very patient with me but I'd really like to get over this as much as possible or just have the guts to pick up the phone and call him. I have done voice messages on an app that gives me a minute to talk but it's different on the phone. On voice message I can redo the voice message if my voice sounded weird or something but on the phone, I ca... -
Miss You Issues: Guesswork
Dear Miss U, I have been with my boyfriend for about 2 months. We were loving and sweet at the start to each other and talked quite often. But now his attention seems to always be elsewhere. For quite a while now he has been spending the entire day playing games with his friends, now I have no problem with him spending time with his friends but 4-5 days in a row of just that is getting me frustrated. I miss him a lot, I miss talking to him and Skyping like we used too. We used to Skype all t... -

Miss You Issues: Falling Out Of Love
Dear Miss U, My girlfriend and I have been in a LDR for 1 year and 7 months now. I usually fly over whenever I can to visit her and spend time with her, this happens about twice a year. The thing is, the distance doesn't bother the both of us. The real problem is we have been arguing and bickering for more than a year now, every day. Sometimes we will be happy and go on without a fight for 4 days at most. We love each other a lot, but there are times we tend to give up. Recently, I fly... -
Miss You Issues: The Possible & The Strange
Dear Miss U,
She says she wants to meet me face to face, now I don't have a problem with that but she lives in Canada were as I live in The U.S in NH. Is this possible? Its only 500 miles which is a good amount of driving. I think it's worth it but how would I convince my mother to go along with it? Should we meet in a common place halfway through? Please help.
- Jacob Dear Jacob, What is possible, and what is possible right now are two very different things...

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...
