Dear Miss U,
…Recently, he has been struggling financially so I offered to help him out by sending money through a money transfer service where he can go pick it up, but he suggested I PayPal him money at around 4 am his time, then apparently PayPal didn’t support the card he was using so he texted his friend who is a girl. She gave him her details so I could send her the money, I’m confused why she would give him her PayPal details without question, it seems odd and why she was also conveniently up at that hour… [read more]
How to Decide If Being a Military Spouse Is Right for You
Dear Miss U,
…a month ago he told me he is 100% wanting to join the Marines as the Marines are a big part of his family’s history. Our relationship drastically changed after he told me. We bickered and argued over practically nothing over text, but then as soon as we saw each other on the weekends we would get on perfectly and there wouldn’t be a single problem. I don’t know how to make text just as positive as it is in person? [read more]
Cheaters Gonna Cheat
Dear Miss U,
Our relationship went downhill when she started her master degree in Sydney in March of 2018. She started to hang out with her neighbor, Kurt, like 4 times a week at least. She went clubbing and drinking every weekend. I tried to tell her my feelings and insecurity about her behavior, but she still ignored it and continued dating him. I sort of had a feeling something was wrong with her, but felt helpless because I can’t do anything… [read more]
When You Feel Like You’re A Burden
Dear Miss U,
My SO and I used to always talk, but lately I’ve been getting jealous because they are always laughing and hanging with their friends they used to answer within 1-5 minutes now it’s taking 20 minutes or more and I miss the conversations with them. Do they think I’m annoying? [read more]
Guilty Little Feelings
Dear Miss U,
Last night, a friend told me that I made out with a male friend at a party around two months ago. She thought I knew – I had absolutely no recollection and didn’t even realize I’d been drunk enough to lose memory that night (she also said I was falling over, etc). I immediately told my boyfriend who immediately placed the blame on the guy, who knew I had a boyfriend and, in my boyfriend’s eyes, took advantage of me. My boyfriend isn’t upset with me at all. Part of me thinks he’s right because there’s no way I would ever have done this sober, but I’m also completely wrought with guilt and don’t know how to handle it… [Read more]
Going Off Grid
Dear Miss U,
I’ve been in a long distance relationship with an amazing man for 9 months. I live in Utah and he lives in California. I’ve been having this extremely overwhelming anxiety about cheating. Not that he would cheat on me, but that I would cheat on him. I have no idea why, because I would never do it, but it has been consuming my thoughts and causing me a lot of stress… [read more]
Are You Too Clingy?
Dear Miss U,
I’ve been together with my LDR boyfriend for almost 9 months now and these past few weeks, he’s always not in the ‘mood to call.’ He used to take every opportunity to try and talk to me, call me, or spend time with me, but nowadays he just spends time with his games and friends. Yes, I know they’re important to him but we barely talk to each other now and whenever I ask if we can call, he would sometimes get pissed and say that I’m too clingy and that we can’t call every day. It really makes me feel lonely as he doesn’t make time for me anymore… [read more]
How to Stop Fighting
Dear Miss U,
My boyfriend and I started dating when we were juniors in high school. We were an hour apart when college started for both of us. This past June, he moved 5 hours away for school, and communication, trust, and everything seems to be breaking at the seams. We get so mad at each other and we don’t talk for days till the other apologizes… [read more]
Mystery Girl
Dear Miss U,
My sweetheart, (we’ll call “B”), after 6 months and one canceled meeting, by her, still won’t tell me her last name, her address, or her workplace. She knows mine. I’ve never given her a reason to believe I would stalk her or bother her. We have emailed, chatted, and used video chat. Except she won’t provide an image. Says she has no camera. She has a phone. Also, she never answers her phone when I call…[read more]
Talking Less
Dear Miss You,
…He said that if I had intercourse with someone else he would be ok with it until I start falling in love with that person. He also said if he did it, he didn’t mean it, and it would be a one-time thing because we are apart and he misses the physical stuff. I have told him I’m not ok with that because I understand distance is a barrier, and we are still together, but he said he wouldn’t be mad at me for doing it and I shouldn’t be either… [read more]
