Not Happily Ever After

Dear Miss U,

My current husband and I were in a LDR for a year and a half, during which time I went to live abroad. We got married last year and he came to live in my country. When I met him I told him that I would be moving soon and he expressed a wish to start an LDR and move to the new country too. We closed the distance two months after getting married and he came. This is where all the problems started. He has been really homesick and has had trouble adjusting to the new country because he doesn’t speak the language yet. I have been trying to be supportive, but the thing is, he takes out his anger on me…. [read more]

The Course Of The Future

I am a rising college senior who attends school in the southern United States. I studied abroad last semester in France and spent one week in London after my classes ended. There, I met an amazing girl who I spent the night with. I thought it would end there, but we ended up keeping in touch…. [read more]

Quickies

Dear Miss U,
My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 years now. He lives 10 hours away from me. I am working but at the moment he currently has no job. I was going to visit him and pay for the majority of the trip but when I brought it up to my boyfriend about visiting him, he did not seem excited or interested in me visiting him. He said he wants to wait for me to visit him until he has a job and can afford to take me places when I visit… [read more]

When Hurtful Words Are Said

Dear Miss U,
This may seem really dumb, but, here goes. I know not to are about other people’s opinions when it comes to my decisions, but ever since I finally started admitting to strangers that I’m in an LDR, they’ve been way more judgmental than I thought. I’ve had multiple people tell me “You don’t need to be talking to someone who isn’t here,” and I had someone flat out reply to me saying I was in an LDR with “That’s bad… [read more]

When Harry Killed Bella

Dear Miss U,
I love the communication I have in my LDR. He is very considerate in always checking on me when we go hours without speaking because he is either working or out with friends or family. Or when he’s going to sleep for a long time he will tell me he will text me when he wakes. However, as much as our communication is strong sometimes I become very sad when I can’t be there to celebrate a holiday with him or his birthday and I feel useless and pushed aside… [read more]

Insecurity Rising

Dear Miss U,
Me and my SO met through a mutual friend, 4 years back. We have been madly in love since then. He is an amazing guy, and he loves me with all the flaws (he keeps telling me that he even loves the things he hates about me). But recently, I graduated from college and shifted home. With no friends around and nothing to do but study, I am kind of going crazy… [read more]

Of Mountains & Mole-Hills

Dear Miss U,
I met my boyfriend when he was in a relationship with another girl, we were friends for a long time and when they broke up I was there for him, few months later he asked me out and we have been together since then. But few days back, he told me that in the beginning of our relationship he met his ex once and he had a momentary feeling that he still loved her, he thought about it and chose to be with me instead. But the thought that he had such feelings makes me feel betrayed… [read more]

There’s Nothing Wrong With LDRs

Dear Miss U,
I’ve been in my LDR with my GF for 4 months and half let’ say. We never met yet and we plan to meet this summer. Lately she is acting weirdly in my opinion, she talks less and the moments when she talks with me she always says she is bored and so on and of course I insist proposing something to do but she always refuses and gives me the fault and other stuffs for doing nothing and so on… [read more]

A Man’s Decision

Dear Miss U
I will be glad if you will help me with my situation. I have a girlfriend from Germany she loved me so much but there was a time I couldn’t give her attention. She suffered very much. I just found out she’s now cheating but she told me she did because I wasn’t there for here when she needed me much. Her current boyfriend was there for her when I was busy for some few months. I told her to quit the relationship but she said she can’t because the guy was there when I wasn’t there for her… [read more]

Talking Plans

Dear Miss U,
Both my boyfriend and I are in the process of finishing up our college degrees. Me my Bachelor’s and he his PhD. We thought that we would be finishing at the same time but now it seems that he will be needing to take a year longer than expected to graduate. While not detrimental, it does mean that once I finish my degree next spring I will be moving across the country to TN to be with him while he finishes up his degree before we decide on our next step… [read more]
