    Miss You Issues: Young Adults & Support

    Dear Miss U, My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2.5 years now, and lived together for 1.5 of those years. Last September he moved to a different country for medical school, which means over 5 years of distance. Lately, things have become more and more tricky, with him critiquing my family, and my upbringing. He also repeated tells me that I should be doing more and doing better, without also acknowledging the strides I have made (I have been struggling with serious mental health issues whic...

    Miss You Issues: Presence

    Dear Miss U, I'm having trouble getting on the same page as my boyfriend about communication. We are a dual military couple and this is the first deployment He is in Japan and I am in Washington. He can text any time and call when connected to wifi. I've asked him to communicate more, simple like a text about his day. He does it for two days then stops.

    Miss You Issues: A Matter of Honesty

    Dear Miss U, I met this guy on a game app almost a year ago and we've talked nearly every single day. We've both fallen in love and feel for each other something that neither of us has ever felt for anyone before. We've talked about everything and how we wanted to meet one day and eventually be together. A few weeks ago, I discovered that his "niece" is actually his daughter, and that he still lives with the baby's mother. I also found out he lied about his age. Anywho, I confronted him, and he...

    Miss You Issues: The Short Straw

    Dear Miss U, I have been dating my ldr for 1 year today and like every ldr its had its ups and downs. We talk about our future together and how blessed we are to have found each other.

    Miss You Issues: Talk & Text

    Dear Miss U, My husband and I haven't seen each other since January as he's in Japan, and I'm in the US. We discovered this week that I'm unable to join him there. I've been very down, while he's better able to shake things off than I am. We still think there may be a chance that he'll be able to come back here. My question is because he recently asked if I would be alright with him texting less because he feels like he doesn't always have much to say and he feels dumb just replying "yeah" to w...

    Miss You Issues: That Special Touch

    Dear Miss U, I've had this relationship for 7 months. Last summer, I went on a working holiday in Los Angeles, CA. I met my boyfriend at Starbucks. Sounds like a novel-like plot. LOL But that's really how it goes. So yeah, we fell in love. We hung out together and talked a lot. It's been like we've known each other for a long long time. Everything went well beside I would go home in a few weeks. I only stayed there for 2 months, then I went back to Taiwan. After I went back to Taiwan, my col...

    Miss You Issues: Trust & Hope

    Dear Miss U, Me and my SO have been dating for 3 months. We are more than happy, everything goes perfectly, and we made all the beautiful promises in the world. However, in the past, I've had bad experience with guys. It's hard for me to believe into this happiness, it's like too unreal, too beautiful to be true for a girl like me. I know he loves me a lot, and I trust him with my life, but there's just a little inner voice in me that tells me nothing lasts forever. In our plans, we may m...

    Dear Miss U, I have been with my partner for about 4 years and we were doing fine had our ups and downs and as for me trust issues and jealousy but we got to fix that.

    Miss You Issues: Nike's Got It

    Dear Miss U, Me and my SO have been together for 12 months. Travelling back and forth to visit each other every other month. The goal was that he will move here within 1-2 years. That keeps being pushed forward a bit, and that's ok because I don't want to rush it. I asked him if he still wanted to move here last time he was visiting. The answer was I don't know. He is worried that we won't get along in the long term. He says we haven't really experienced what daily life together over a longer pe...

    Miss You Issues: Without Fear

    Dear Miss U, I feel like I've been growing apart from my SO for a while now but am too scared to admit it because I think it might end our relationship. He lives in Wisconsin and I live in the United Kingdom and my new job and school is taking up to much of my time that I rarely get to talk to him. And when it is one of those days were we can talk for a long time. We just sit there and watch different Youtube videos. I try to make conversation and so does he but I feel that we've run out of ...

  • Miss You Issues: Write It Out
    by
    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...

  • Miss You Issues: The Dawn Of LDR
    by
    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...

  • Miss You Issues: Talking It Up
    by
    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...

  • Miss You Issues: Life Or Love?
    by
    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...

  • Miss You Issues: Decisions
    by
    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...

  • Miss You Issues: Fat Shaming, Pregnancy & U.
    by
    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...
