Miss You Issues: Sex & Trust
Dear Miss U, I have been with my fiancé for 3 and a half yrs. He for a yr he has been living in another country and it has been extremely strenuous on our relationship. Financially it's hard for me to visit him. I have trust issues with him. Every time I call him he always finds an excuse to get off the phone. Where he is at he's having a lot of problems, mostly financially. (He lives in a 3rd world country) my biggest fear is him cheating so I accuse him a lot. He says he never did but if he m... -
Miss You Issues: Sex & The Future
Dear Miss U, My name is Brittany and I'm from Pennsylvania. I have a "friend" who is from Florida. His name is Michael. We have known each other for 8 1/2 years. We met online when I was 14 and I had such a crush on him. Then we never really stopped talking just kind of grew apart and met other people. We started talking again a while ago. I went to visit him June 4th, 2014 - June 6, 2014. And I visited him again September 14, 2014 - September 21, 2014. I wasn't so sure if I wanted a relations... -
Miss You Issues: Critique
Dear Miss U, I have been with my SO for a long time now. We love each other dearly, we voice chat with each other 10+ hours every day, and have done for the duration of our relationship (Barring internet issues). I love her, and believe that she is who she says she is, but she has severe anxiety and self-confidence issues. I will never force her to do something she doesn't want to, but at the same time, I'd like to just once see her face live. She's sent me pictures of herself and we voice... -
Miss You Issues: Try This.
Dear Miss U, My boyfriend and I have been dating for nearly a year and a half. He is now a college freshman about an hour and 45 minutes away. I realize it's not nearly as bad as a typical LDR, but it's still distance all the same. I am a high school senior about to choose where to go to college. I have strongly been considering the college my boyfriend attends, but everyone around me disapproves. I am not choosing this school simply because he is there, but it is also an important factor. I l... -
Miss You Issues: The Long Haul
Dear Miss U, We are together it's been only 2 months. Well, I've been through a lot in this couple of months... I'm sincerely worried about my boyfriend's priorities. He says I am his priority, but honestly, sometimes I can't really feel it. Even though is trying to show, it's kinda not working. Like... Last weekend I was feeling so bad about myself, about some problems I was having with exams... And he just told me some comforting words and left with his friend. I wouldn't say anything i... -
Miss You Issues: What's Left Unsaid
Dear Miss U, That's weird, I don't even know where to start. I'm 18, and so is he. We've been together for almost two years now, and I've never been in love like this before. I know people always say that you don't know what love is when you're 18 because you're too young but I really think I know what being in love feels like, he's the only person I want by my side and when he's not I feel like I'm nothing. Three months ago, he got accepted in a really good school 1000 miles away from ou... -
Miss You Issues: Tangled Love
Dear Miss U, First, thank you for helping all of us, we need it! My girlfriend and I have been together almost 2 years now, we are 5000 miles apart and have never met. We love each other deeply. Her sister has shoved her in the middle of her LDR because of their arguments. This has caused a lot of stress. To add to matters, the BF has cancer (again) and has been given 1.5yrs to live. Very sad. Of course my GF cares for the guy, but he has been very abusive emotionally, by placing her in the ... -
Miss You Issues: Boys Behaving Badly
Dear Miss U, I honestly truly do love my girlfriend. We balance each other out really well. Everything about our bond has been natural & nice. Despite distance I feel she is totally worth it. However I admittedly felt lonely today & met with a girl I barely know and made out with her. I felt nothing but went with it because I didn't want to come off as a wimp turning down a kiss. I've only known her for a day! It wasn't worth it. I know honesty is the best policy. I wanna tell my gf but I do... -
Miss You Issues: Deeper Conversations
Dear Miss U, Me and my girlfriend met each other online, and in the beginning we didn't talk, because we were both feeling scared and maybe a bit awkward. But then we had a breakthrough and we were crying together, and we have been talking every day since then. Now, the problem is that, things (not just lately, more like a month) have been feeling VERY monotone in our conversations together... I know she loves me and I know I love her, and yes we have a plan to close the distance... But, th... -

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...
