Dear Miss U,
Me and my boyfriend have been together for a year now and before summer we decided that after the summer one of us will move. Currently we are both out of school. Neither of us wants to move to each other's country (I live in Estonia, he lives in Norway). We are both scared to move but being away from each other is crushing us both.
What should we do?

Miss You Issues: Too Good To Be True?
Dear Miss U, I've lived in America for five years, so all we have ever known is long distance. We've had our problems in the past but now we are through all of that and stronger than ever. I recently came back out to America for a job after graduating from university here. My partner lives in England. We are both doing really well in our jobs and lives. I've just been offered an extension by a few years on my current visa by my work, but I don't know how much longer I can live without my other ha... -
Miss You Issues: Smitten
Hello! My question is not about long distance relationship (even though I am in one), actually is regarding semantics! My mother language is not English and I've been dating a boy from US. He always says he's smitten with me, but never said he's in love. So I'd like to know if it means that he doesn't like me that much as I don't understand if being smitten is like "one stage before being in love" or something like that... Could you please help? Thank you very much! Joanna... -
Miss You Issues: Baby, Think It Over
Dear Miss U, I met my LDR SO little over a year ago. She makes me laugh and seeing her smile turns my heart into putty. She's the most considerate person I know! Things were good. We met up in different countries. Traveled. Laughed. We'd send post cards and home-made gifts. Though this would've never been an issue at the start of a relationship, since she was my first, things began to slide downhill for me due to the lack of intimacy. I desire her a lot, yet half the times when we meet, the... -
Miss You Issues: The Teen Years
Dear Miss U, I live in Australia and he lives in the Caribbean. We know each other like the back of our hands. We have kept our relationship a secret which is an issue to me now. I am having doubts about us though. We have plans for him to come to Australia in March next year however I am finding it all too hard now. I feel like I have missed out on my teenage years in away because of this relationship but am afraid to tell him this because I don't want him to feel it is his fault when it... -
Miss You Issues: Needs and Expectations
Dear Miss U, So I've been with this guy for about 4 months, but after one month he broke up with me and I had no idea why. Two weeks of us "just being friends" goes by and he confesses that he broke it off because of guilt. He had cheated (actually had sex with another girl). And blamed it on temptation. Myself being a 15 year old virgin in another state, I was devastated. But we talked it through and decided to forget it ever happened. So now we're acting as though he never cheated and we've b... -
Miss You Issues: Do It!
Dear Miss U, Basically, I've been friends with this guy for about a year. Since the first time I met him, we really hit it off and were practically inseparable. Somewhere down the line, my feelings for him changed and I wanted to be more than friends. However, he is transferring schools. He's moving back home to Portland and I'm stuck here in Southern California. Because of the distance, I decided not to express my feelings. It was eating at me...so stupid me, decided to let him know an hour bef... -
Miss You Issues: Got Troubles
Dear Miss U, My boyfriend and I have been dating for about a year and a half, and we love each other to bits! I am in Toronto (his home town) for university, meaning that I am traveling back to the other side of the country for the four months of summer. Doesn't seem that bad, right? Wrong... I feel like I am having a hard time controlling my emotions. I get so upset/hurt when he can't answer me for long periods of time over text, or when he can't phone call. Recently, he has cancelled our sk... -
Miss You Issues: In Need
Dear Miss U, Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 3 years come the end of the month. We have been long distance most of our relationship. We are over 900 miles away from each other. He lives in with his family now, and I'm here with my family, the place I was born and raised. He is not from here. We have always been really good at dealing with being long distance but now for me it is getting harder and It's me who is having trouble with this, he is perfectly fine knowing I'm his. I ... -
Miss You Issues: Worry Less, Talk More.
Dear Miss U, Well my boyfriend has a best friend since they were two and I have a feeling she likes him. Now he’s told me he simply sees her as a friend but since she has the distance between me and him to her advantage I don't know what to do. I just wanna know my heart won’t be broken. How can I learn to trust him without ruining his friendship? I was wondering if you could please help me I’d really appreciate it. Thanks With love, Su Chaparr...

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...
