Miss You Issues: The Long Road
Dear Miss U, I've been dating my long distance boyfriend for a year and a half of which 1year has been long distance (I live in Portugal and he lives in the UK). We see each other every 2 months, sometimes it takes longer until we can be together. He is a great guy and I can't even express how much I love him and I know he loves me too. But the problem is that we don't talk about getting together one day in the future. Although I still have 2 more years till I'm finished with school I need to k... -
Miss You Issues: A Beautiful Unnamed Thing
Dear Miss U, Me and my crush live 1500 miles away. Well we met at school in UK, where I go almost every month for couple of days and stay at boarding school. Now it's about 1.5 year since we first met, and about 1 year when he asked me if I want to grab a cup of hot chocolate in town (we can pretend it was our first date). So since we first met 1.5 year ago, we keep in touch: chat on Facebook when we have time (every 2 weeks), Skype call (if we have special occasions like New Year) and we wrot... -
Miss You Issues: One Day at a Time
Dear Miss U, I met my amazing boyfriend online two years ago and have been flying back and forth from our own countries to see each other for 1 year now. (He lives in Yucatan, Mexico and I live in Florida.) I just spent the past half a year studying abroad where he lives, and now I'm back in the USA. The problem is, I didn't go back to my friends. I came back to a new state (Florida) because my parents moved while I was studying abroad. I got so used to being with this man for 5 months, and suddenl... -
Miss You Issues: Everybody Hurts
Hi, I love your site first of all. It's helped me and my girlfriend greatly. I am a lesbian, and I'm very happy about the relationship I have..... Except for the fact that she lives four states away and there is no chance of us being together until we're both eighteen. Her parents are extremely homophobic, but that's just another issue to add onto the ever growing list. My girlfriend has an issue with self-harm, and no matter what I do, nothing seems to help. It seems the only way I could help if... -
Miss You Issues: Being Reasonable
Dear Miss U, I meet him back in 2011 online, we became friends on Facebook. I live in Connecticut and he lives in Colorado. He means the world to me and I truly love him and we were close friends from 2011- the beginning of 2012 we didn’t talk again until the middle of June of 2013. We came to a point of trying to be together, my 18th birthday is coming up in April so for spring break I’m planning on flying out there to see him and the problem is my parents don’t accept this relationship my mom was ... -
Miss You Issues: Broken Up
Dear Miss U, I need help FAST. Please help me. I am very depressed because of this situation and I need help fast! Please get back to this question as soon as possible. Thank you. Me and my LDR boyfriend gave broken up for a couple of months now. I really want him back, but he has a girlfriend now. He always tells me that she hardly talks to him. Today he told me that she hasn't talked to him for 6 days straight, not even saying good morning, or goodnight. I want him back more than I ev... -
Miss You Issues: A Different Approach
Dear Miss U, My boyfriend and I started dating 3 weeks after we met last year. He stayed here for 3 months then had to move back to the US and we've made the LD work so far; daily texts and phone calls with occasional Skype calls. We tell each other everything the problem is it seems that whenever I share my feelings of doubt about something with him he ends up getting upset and I have to apologize and pretend like I didn't say anything. That's why I feel like I can't tell him this: I'm startin... -
Miss You Issues: Communication Matters
Dear Miss U, I am in a long distance relationship. I live in Ohio and when we met he was in Michigan. His dad made him move out to California. We really both like each other and he is the sweetest guy ever. Since he moved to California, we have not gone one day without talking. He makes me so happy and I tell him all the time. Well we met online technically. Only 3 people know that I told. And I worry about people judging me, especially my parents. How should I go about telling them?? I doubt the... -
Miss You Issues: Interfaith Futures
Dear Miss U, I've been with my girlfriend for a while now. I love her very much and she loves me back. There's no chance that we'd split up, just to clarify where we're at, we're both very integrated in each other's lives (I'm friends with all her extended family and am invited to family occasions etc). Three months ago, at the end of the summer after we had just left school I moved away to Gloucestershire, West England, from where we were both living relatively close in London, and she moved to ... -
Miss You Issues: Finding The Answers
Dear Miss U, My mom was upset the other day over something stupid . She told me to go help her with something. I was on the phone with my boyfriend. I told him I would call him when I was done. He said "I love you" and I said it back. I went to go help my mom and she was still upset that when I walked away she said "How can you love someone you don't know?" Surprisingly it got me really mad. How do I deal with stuff like this and what should I tell my mother back? Love Arianna...

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...
