Dear Miss U,
I have been dating this girl for 3 months now. I live in Illinois because of college. I just graduated last spring. My parents live in Michigan in the sane town as her. I actually met her at my graduation party because my parents are friends with her parents. We started talking and texting even after I came back to Illinois since I live here with my godparents because they live so close to the college I was attending. I am currently searching for a job with my degree and she is about to start college in Michigan… [read more]

Dear Miss U,
My boyfriend and I met on a cruise last year, we spent the entire week together and on the last day decided we would find a way to make it work. We both graduated high school and I decided to stay home and attend a community college while he went off to boot camp. I HATE my college experience, I definitely didn’t choose the right college. Once he graduates boot camp and AIT he will be attending college in his hometown, Kansas City. We will once again be 700+ miles away from each other. He is constantly hinting at wanting me to transfer next year, however, he wants me to do whatever makes me happy… [read more]

Dear Miss U,
I just found out my sweetie has been in the hospital, and will start a treatment session for several weeks. I want to go see him and spend time with him. Traveling to see him involves crossing a border, plane fare, hotel, and pausing my job search (15+ months out of work). However the last two times I went to visit, he would not speak to me nor acknowledge my presence in his city… [read more]

Dear Miss U,
I have been in a relationship for a year and half the first half was not long distance, however, the rest of it has been. We are both in the navy and are schedules conflict each other. We live on two sides of the world east coast and west because of our occupation we can’t just up and leave and move to each other’s states. Therefore we have to wait up to two years until we will be able to live with one other… [read more]

Dear Miss U,
About 7 months ago, I became involved with a co-worker that lives halfway around the world (Taiwan). Long story short, 3 of my fellow co-workers from the company’s Taipei office were sent here for training, one of which I found to be particularly attractive, so I started talking to her. I had recently begun dating after a 3+ year stint of being completely single, no girlfriend, no “hookups”, no nothing. We hung out a little bit while she was here, didn’t go too far, but once she returned to Taiwan we remained in contact, pretty much on a daily basis. Eventually, it got to the point where I ended up flying out there to see her… [read more]

Dear Miss U,
I love my partner and I know he loves me more but the absence has changed our conversations to arguments. How can we get past this bitter moment? I can’t physically be with him every day but we talk on the phone and write letters regularly. How do I fill the void of me not being there or him not being here? [read more]

Dear Miss U,
My name is Cleo. I am 17 years of age and in 2015, I met the love of my life. It was a significant day in May where a guy friend of mine created a group with me and other people I didn’t know. The idea of the group chat was to meet new people. I met Sam. We spent weeks talking and we enjoyed each other, he asked me out and we have been dating since then. We have never met, never touched or even kissed but the past year and a half, it has been feeling good. He has told his mom and family about me and I am still scared to tell my mom but he is willing to wait… [read more]

Dear Miss U,
My boyfriend broke up with me because his depression was bigger than any problem he and I could ever encounter. It’s been 4 days since we broke up and two since we last spoke. I reached out, yes I know bad idea, but it was to clarify that I am still here for him and that I love him. This is an entirely devastating situation/circumstance to be surpassing, but I want to be able to hold my head up high and move past this. I believed in him and I. I ultimately believed he and I were going to be together forever and that I would be here for him and he would be there for me when I needed him. We’ve known each other for almost three years and finally decided to date almost a year ago, last thanksgiving. Please help me… [read more]

Dear Miss U,
I have been in a Long Distance Relationship since last year… We talk every day, and as much as possible. Even if one of us attends class, we still text each other. I enjoy talking with him and when we don’t talk I don’t feel comfortable. However, sometimes he has to leave me alone when he has something else to do, and in those moments I get angry at him even if it is not his fault. What should I do to avoid that? One more thing, sometimes we miss conversations, is that normal? [read more]

Dear Miss U,
I have been with my boyfriend for almost two years. We hit a rough patch a few months ago and spent some time apart. During that time, he moved across the country and I began the process of purchasing a house in my area. We’ve since reconnected and decided to see where things go. Some days I have a hard time not feeling abandoned. Is that something that I can speak to him about or am I best off keeping it to myself since we have decided to give this a second chance?
