    Miss You Issues: Talk It Out

    Dear Miss U, I currently live in California and he lives in North Carolina. I'm officially closing the distance and moving to NC at the end of this year. However, I am moving to VA with my grandma in a few days. I will only be 5 HOURS away from him! I flew out to visit him earlier this year in March and that trip was VERY expensive for me and hurt me financially. I was planning on taking a train down to see him next week, but unfortunately plans changed because my grandma isn't exactly co...

    Miss You Issues: It's Not In His Kiss

    Dear Miss U, I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years and about a year and a half ago he went into the Air Force. At first it was really hard and I didn't know if I could handle it but I got over it and everything was okay. But recently I've been having second thoughts again. I feel like its a lot more trouble than it's worth and I'm not sure I could handle it for 4 more years (that's when he'll be done). Also, I don't know if I'm as physically attracted to him as I once was. All I know is tha...

    Miss You Issues: Two Months In

    Dear Miss U, My boyfriend and I met 2 months ago, and we've been together pretty much since. We met in person but he lives 12 hours away. We've seen each other a few times since then, and I just got back from a week-long visit (July 1-9). I was supposed to move down at the end of July. Toward the end of my visit he told me he wasn't ready for me to move down yet. We discussed it and cried about it for a few days. I was devastated. He was hurt that he hurt me. It wasn't pretty. I agreed to...

    Miss You Issues: Nothing to Hide

    Dear Miss U, I meet my boyfriend about a year ago; we have never seen each other in person, but our relationship is great, we Skype almost every day and he is very understanding, sweet and warm. I have meet his friends, even his family, and I love him much, but I tend to be more reserved and cold, and I haven't talked about this to many people, just a few very close friends. He says that he understands and he loves me being like this, but he also says he would really like to meet my friends,...

    Miss You Issues: Getting Through

    Dear Miss U, My boyfriend and I are inseparable. For 2 weeks during summer, we went on 1 week long cruise with my family, then went on another week long beach trip with his family. The DAY we got back from the beach, I had to say goodbye to him because he was going to the US Merchant Marine Academy. He had to go up early because they start Indoctrination (boot camp) for the first 3 weeks of July. It's been 3 days since he has been gone and I don't know what to do with myself. They take away h...

    Miss You Issues: Let's Talk About (Phone) Sex

    Dear Miss U,

    I have been with my boyfriend for 6 months; 4 of them apart. My issues are in the sex topic. He gets stressed if I propose to have phone sex cause he can't touch me and I get stress cause I feel sometimes he doesn't want me. I try to talk about the issue twice in the worst way ending in a fight. How can I express what I feel without pressure him or what else I can do?

    Thank you,

    JR
    Dear JR, The best time to talk about anything sexual i...

    Miss You Issues: Questions of Maturity

    Dear Miss U, I have no troubles with my LDR. I met him in an online chatroom 10 years ago, and our deep friendship has helped us weather the most stressful times in the LDR. When things get too intense and we start feeling lonely, we step back and find balance again. We could not imagine our lives without each other, and I am truly blessed to know him. My problem is with my friends. It began with questions, "why are you in a LDR" and then statements "that's not healthy, don't you feel lonely...

    Miss You Issues: You Don't Need A Man

    Dear Miss U, I met my significant other in college, we began dating and experienced distance for the first time two month into our relationship when he went home to Australia and I in the states. We made it through the month long Christmas break, and now are currently enduring the biggest time apart, summer break. We have arranged for me to come visit at the end of the summer for 3 and half weeks. However, possibly instead of him coming back to school he may have to take a semester off for per...

  • 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...
