Dear Miss U,
I’ve known my girlfriend for well over a year, but through bumps, bruises, a falling out when I moved to a full-time job and then a re-kindled connection, we became attached at the hip. She’s in California and I’m in Melbourne, Australia – quite the distance… [read more]

Dear Miss U,
My SO and I have been in an official relationship for a little over 6 months now, but have known each other pretty well as friends since the beginning of high school. He recently just moved away to pursue his dream job and our friends and family keep asking me how he and I are going to make our relationship work. I’m worried that my answer is almost always “I don’t know.” [read more]

Dear Miss U,
After 6 months in a LDR, why does she refuse to send even ONE photo ? Her name is Linda, we have known each other since 2003. I live in Oregon, she lives in southern California. Linda dated my younger brother until their breakup in 2009. I went through a divorce in 2009 .We kept in touch and occasionally would text each other purely in a platonic way… [read more]

Dear Miss U,
My boyfriend and I met via social media so we have never actually lived in the same place. He’s currently in USA whilst I’m still here in England. We fly out to see each other every couple of months and as his mum is English, he will be coming here for the summer. I am completely in love with him… [read more]

Dear Miss U,
My name is Dominic, and I’m a freshman college student. My boyfriend, Christian, goes to law school roughly four hours from my college. We dated relatively short distance (40 minute drive) for the first six months of our relationship before I began college and Christian law school. Due to these circumstances, we see each other about once a month, typically for a few days at a time. I recently saw him for about a week, and am about to return to school… [read more]

Dear Miss U,
I never thought I’d be writing to you as up until this point my relationship has been great, we’ve done good with the distance with of course a few bumps here and there. My reasoning for writing is because after talking to a friend I’m questioning my boyfriend’s commitment to this relationship.

Dear Miss U,
My best friend asked me the other day; “how do you feel that you’re in a relationship with your boyfriend if you never see him?” (I see him 3-4 times a year for about one week each time). I told her that it’s like having a boy best friend but a little more intimate. She responded that basically we only have a “status” and not a real relationship. Is she right? I mean, am I really in a long distance relationship or am I only best friend with this guy?

Dear Miss U,
I am having a few small issues. My LDGF of several years is nervous of meeting, part of her wishes it for the most, but part of her is terrified. She lives in England and I live in the US but I am studying abroad in England starting this September. This May, we planned a visit to see each other before hand, and now I am also visiting to scope out universities. The thing is she’s still scared, I hoped as we got closer she’d overwhelmingly be more excited over being more nervous.

Dear Miss U,
I met my girlfriend online about three months ago and we fell for each other pretty quickly. We live about four hours apart by car if it’s at all helpful or important. But basically she and I really want to see each other and our parents both know about our relationship, however her step-dad doesn’t know about me and her mom said that we can’t see each other until she tells him.

Dear Miss U,
Do you ever feel like you’ve forgotten your partner after you’ve been apart for a few months? My boyfriend lives in CA, USA while I live in England, so we see each other when we can but there’s often long breaks in between. During these breaks I can become quite depressed, but we get through it as a team.
