Not Giving Up

Dear Miss U,
I’ve met him many times within a year from TX to NY, when I asked him to come visit, even offered to buy a ticket, his pride would be in the way or he would tell me, “That isn’t top priority.” I know he has things to deal with, and I respect that, but I feel it’s not fair that he hasn’t visited me… [read more]

R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Dear Miss U,

I live in the U.S. while he lives in the U.K. It isn’t easy and I feel as if I am the only one putting in the effort for keeping communication open. I understand we both have busy lives but every time I write him, he always responds with one-word answers. Every time I bring up my feelings about it, he gets defensive and blows it off. I feel so ignored and so lonely… [read more]

Young Struggles

Dear Miss U,

My boyfriend has recently moved to college states away. It’s only been a month in and he is saying it’s really hard. He admitted to me that he has been avoiding calling me or Facetime because he says it makes him sad (but also happy, but mostly sad) which I kind of understand. He is sort of pushing me away by doing that, and our text conversations aren’t the same; he can’t keep a conversation going… [read more]

Sad and Jealous

Dear Miss U,
I am the jealous type!!! I have tried everything to try to fight this ugly part of me. … She is going to a concert all weekend. We won’t get to talk at night until 5 am (3-hour time difference) I trust her and I love her, but I am struggling with this. I don’t know if it’s that deep down I don’t trust her or if it’s the fact that I rely so much on getting to talk to her… [read more]

This Flag is Red

Dear Miss U,
I’ve known this man for over 25 years. We met via our jobs. He worked in Florida & me in New Jersey. I was married and he was engaged when we met. There was an immediate connection from the moment we met and we became good work friends but I always wondered what it would have been like. My marriage of 21 years fell apart and I was divorced in 2004. I spent 9 years trying to get my life back together and not feel like I was a failure. I didn’t date as my confidence with men was shot and I was pretty miserable. Now, fast forward to April 2013. He emailed me out of the blue, sending me a video, and before you know it we’re talking on the phone every day since! [read more]

The Power Of Success Stories

Dear Miss U,
I’m in an LDR and it’s crazy how I met my boyfriend – on a video game!! We both love each other so much but the problem is that we miss each other so much sometimes and it hurts a lot. I don’t know what to do. We usually spend all day together texting and we still have to wait for like 2 or 3 years until we meet and that’s a very long time so I really don’t know what to do… [read more]

Someone Worth Missing

Dear Miss U,
My boyfriend been living a few hours away from me for 9 weeks now. We have been together 2 years and 2 months, but best friends for almost 3 years. I am in my final year of studying in the uni we both went to and he has started his Masters in London. I am hoping to move to London in July 2018, and then we’ll be together. I am finding it really hard being apart because I’m getting used to him not being at uni whereas he has moved somewhere completely new. I miss him all the time – but I have stopped myself from being needy. But I’ve sent him sexy snaps a few times and he doesn’t always respond to them – is this worrying? [read more]

What Comes Between Us

Dear Miss U,
Things between my boyfriend and I just aren’t the same anymore. Admittedly, it’s my fault and I want to fix things so badly but I don’t know how. I ended up having drinks with another guy. Even though nothing happened and I didn’t mean for it to happen, it really bothered my boyfriend. I’ve apologized and told him that I want to make things right and earn his trust back. [read more]

Unsure Partners

Dear Miss U,
My girlfriend and I have been dating for 5 months. I care for her so much and she cares for me just as much. She called me the other night and broke up with me. She’s telling me that the distance is too much, I got really sad and just accepted it without argument. It’s been a few days and I’m trying to get her back. I’m broken without her, I’m used to texting her every moment of my day. I’ve texted her every single day since I met her. I think I love her… [read more]

Relationship Pie-namics.

Dear Miss U,
We’ve been together for almost two years, and our primary way of communication is Skype or Facebook. It’s been pretty good, but the last months have been hard. She says she doesn’t like the awkward silences we have on Skype, that the conversation doesn’t “flow naturally.” This didn’t use to happen. I’m an introvert and always had trouble making conversations, but I think she recently got tired of the fact that she’s almost always the one that initiates them… [read more]
