Dear Miss U, We've only been dating for 3 months, roughly, and we have both told each other we love each other. We are best friends and have fallen in love faster than anything. It's a scary experience, especially since he has just started going to college in Arizona. We are both from the same area in California. We went from seeing each other every day to being on FaceTime every now and then and some phone calls here and there. There is barely any text messaging going on in between these conve...

Dear Miss U, I am in a LDR with my boyfriend for a year now. We live on 2 different continents but we have plans to move together to the same place in a year, which is not that much anymore. We meet every 3-4 months, which is probably a quite good thing for an intercontinental couple What bothers me that recently he got a female roommate, who is also his co-worker. He could not afford to stay alone financially, and he found a female roommate. We talk every day with my boyfriend, and nothi...

Dear Miss U, My specific question is should I stay with her? We were together very lovingly every day for 9 months then LDR started (military). I have seen her twice for a total of a month and a half over the last three months and I paid for the plane tickets both times she flew because she is still broke in school. She had military training herself and while gone to that she drunkenly made out with another man and then slept in his bed. I found out by seeing a conversation on her phone of her end...

Dear Miss U, I've been talking to this guy since January. I surprisingly met him on Xbox live and found out that he lives 56 miles from me but we never have time to meet up. I still haven't seen him person. He told me he loved me first and I said it back. Now He always says he loves me and he calls me baby, beautiful, hot, but then one way or another he goes into conversations about having sex and etc. We stopped talking for two months because he said he was 'busy', but I stalked around on g...

Dear Miss U, My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years and moved out together about one year ago. We enjoy cooking together, exploring the great outdoors, and sharing the best things in life. I've known for a long time that he is the one for me. The only problem is that he ships as a merchant Marine for several weeks at a time, so our time together is limited. I was able to cope with it for the past year and distract myself with friends and family, but I'm starting to feel depressed w...

Dear Miss U, I've been with my gf now for 7 months. We have been friends now for over a year. We meet when I was getting deployed to Afghanistan. When I finally made it home we started dating and really hit it off. I got a new job that requires me to travel. They sent me back to Afghanistan and I've been here for three months. Everything has been going ok until now. It seems like all we do is fight over stupid things. When I first got here she was really emotional and was having a hard time b...

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?
Liisa Dear Liisa, Moving internationally is a big thing – especially when you've only b...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...
