Trust & Expectations

Dear Miss U,
My boyfriend and I have been together for a year. We met while I was on an exchange in his country. Since I came back to mine we are on a long distance relationship. It’s really hard some days but I think we are not doing too badly.

I Do? Maybe…?

Dear Miss U,
My boyfriend is going to bootcamp this summer, now most will claim that we are far to young to “need” each other, but our recruiter told my S.O that in order for me to be able to come with him I would need to be married to him if we wanted to live together. I am only 18 years old by almost two months, I love him but I am scared that if I marry him this early on into the relationship that we could end in divorce.

Simple Answers

Dear Miss U,
I’m in a relationship since 6 years now, and nothing has really changed… Kinda. Well, the problem is that I feel like I’m living just to wait him. Let me explain: I love him, a lot, but at the same time I’d like to find a job or something to do while he is studying at University, because I feel very frustrated being 100% every day at home without doing anything! I feel like I’m completely wasting my time…

Count Your Blessings

Dear Miss U,
My boyfriend and I live in different states over the summer but are together at University. So, we already have some LDR experience with having summers apart. We have great times when we visit in the summer, but after the 4 months being apart gets really hard and stressful, especially for me, because I get frustrated with the distance.

Say NO to Mom-guilt.

Dear Miss U,
I have been in a long distance relationship which took a 1 year break between the 4-5 year currently was/is going to be 6 years. He is in P.R and I am in NYC. I knew he was leaving and had plans to become a cop in P.R so for me it was a summer fling. He was persistent and won me over through emails webcams texts phone calls.

Now And In The Future

Dear Miss U,
Are we too young to keep a LDR? Please don’t ignore me because of my age. I need to know because I love him and my parents don’t know. I try to hint it to them but they don’t understand.

Confidence in Thyself

Dear Miss U,
I now can articulate that I moved across the country from my partner due to feeling fearful of blending families and marrying again under circumstances I felt uncomfortable with. There were so many overwhelming changes and I didn’t want to rush and make another mistake (e.g. 1st marriage).

Sowing Wild Oats

Dear Miss U,
My boyfriend and I started dating 2 years ago during our freshmen year of college. Things have been great. Unfortunately, he must take a semester off due to family reasons and the following semester I will be studying abroad. So it looks like we won’t be together for at least a year and even then I don’t know what the plan is when I return from abroad.

Mt. Visamore

Dear Miss U,
My s/o and I have been together for 4 years and we recently started a LDR. It is not ideal for us and it’s the first LDR for both of us.
I love to be shown love in the way of those “little things” I get giddy and it makes me extremely happy. It’s also one of my favorite things to do for my s/o. Since we are apart, (I’m in CT, he’s in GA) I want to make sure we still show each other that we are thinking of one another.

Into The Blue

Dear Miss U,
My mom has depression and I never had any problems with being depressed growing up. But every time my SO leaves I feel very depressed. I’m not sure if I should talk to my doctor about this or if this is just a normal, temporary thing.
