This is me and my boyfriend's first holiday season alone, without our families. Both of our families live in different states so we are pretty far away from everyone. I've felt upset this entire holiday season even though I have a wonderful boyfriend — I just really wish I could eat my mom's home cooking and see my brother and sister.

Whether it’s a matter of distance or similar personalities, sometimes it’s just natural for a couple to be more tightly knit with one person’s family over the other's.

Dear Sugar--
I've recently broke up with my fiance after a 2-year, long distance relationship. The truth is I was over him a long time ago since he was never there with me and the relationship was more like a burden to me.

Though I've mentioned the environmental concerns related to a long distance relationship, I know that being able to physically see the person you love is extremely important.

Long-distance relationships, or LDRs, seem to come up a lot around here. If you’ve been in one before, are currently in one now, or would never even consider one, it seems like everyone has some very specific feelings on the matter. I for one think long-distance relationships are very feasible, at least temporarily, but always challenging, too.
