Miss You Issues: Blackmail & U
Dear Miss U, I just broke up with my ex recently, after we had lots and lots of problems. We accused each other of not having actually loved the other; both of us were really hurt. We still talk every day, though, having convos that range from pretty good to angst fests where we would just fling accusations at each other. I don't want this, and I just really want to move on. However, anytime I say anything he doesn't like, he immediately brings up my pics. I've blocked him on Facebook, and th... -
Miss You Issues: Red Flags
Dear Miss U, My bf and I have been in a LDR for half a year now because I'm on an exchange program - we video call each other every day, text each other whenever we can, he's really sweet and supportive. So, the guy that I cheated with is one of the instructors. Although he's around 20 years older than me, I've fancied him since the first day we met. It's not because of his physical appearance (not extremely good looking anyway), but I was attracted to his knowledge - he's taught me a lot,... -
Miss You Issues: 6 Steps to a Better NPR (near proximity relationship)
Dear Miss U, I'm in love with someone that lives over a thousand miles away, and we won't be able to meet for 5 years. I know for a fact he is the only person that I will ever love and will ever give me the time of day to love me. Is a 5 year distance relationship...impossible? What's the longest time for a long time relationship before it becomes too long? We have no way to meet each other other than through Skype as of now. Is that enough, or will he end up moving on because of the length ... -
Miss You Issues: Unwilling to Open
Dear Miss U,
My boyfriend told me that he is worried that in the future when we are older and married he doesn't want to regret not having the chance to be "free" during his college days, but he says he does not want to have sex or any affair with other girls he just wants to be able to say he had the chance and didn't take it. I am worried and freaked out do I let him do this?
Christina Dear Christina, This sounds really bogus to me. It sounds like he's as... -
Miss You Issues: Emotional Turbulence
Dear Miss U, I have been dating my boyfriend for some time now and we both go to college. He goes to Penn State and I go to West Virginia University. I'm the only one with the car so I do all of the driving to see him. Recently I have been having anxiety and stress about our relationship because he has been pledging a gay fraternity on his campus. We love each other to death but he constantly says that I'm smothering him. I'm just stressed that he will meet someone else. Do you have any advice ... -
Miss You Issues: Experience & Absence
Dear Miss U, My bf and I started questioning our relationship, is it a bad thing to question your relationship? My bf is going to college soon and we've tried to find ways that we can be together after I finish high school. We know that's it's going to be rough for us since we're in a long distance relationship. Also my bf started questioning about him "experiencing" other girls because I am basically his first love but he also wants to be with me. We want to be together but were scared of w... -
Miss You Issues: Of Eggs & Baskets
Dear Miss U, First of all, I want to thank in advance for the replies that will come. So, this is it, it will be a bit tricky, but here it goes: I met her in 2007, but the way we met was movie material. I went to see a movie with my friend and in the whole cinema were only 5 people, us two, a guy and two girls. I saw one of them when I entered and she caught my eyes, she was really really beautiful, but I was really shy and I didn't talk to her. Later that night, god knows how, I started to... -
Miss You Issues: Waiting for the Future
Dear Miss U, So my best friend of almost 2 years recently confessed to being in love with me. We haven't been together long but he and I are VERY close. Before I go on, here's what you should know about him: -he lives 2 hours from me -he doesn't drive-yet -he's been through an incredible amount of trauma. I'm honestly surprised he hasn't debated suicide. (Horrible? Yes. True? Absolutely.) His father is on drugs and his mom doesn't want him. He's miserable there. -He's 17 and planning to mo... -
Miss You Issues: Stick It Out
Dear Miss U, My name is Jaime and I met the absolute love of my life while on vacation in East Africa. We spent one incredible month together travelling through Africa and a bond was created instantaneously. My partner is from England and I from Canada. Prior to departing back home, my English soul mate promised me he would see me again and come to visit me in Can. 4 months later he did exactly that and we spent 2 incredible weeks together. We traveled across Canada visiting the mountai... -
Miss You Issues: Be Not Afraid.
Dear Miss U, I have been dating a boy for a year and a half now. It has always been a monogamous relationship, but we've had a lot of challenges that have put up roadblocks in our relationship. We met in college my freshman year and worked together. We were essentially best friends, always platonic. We each had a long term relationship and both ended badly. Ever since last May we have been inseparable. I lived with him for a few months and he wanted to have an official relationship, but I didn'...

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...
