A friend of mine recently got engaged but shudders at using the word "fiancé" to refer to her affianced. It feels more natural to say "boyfriend" when talking about her husband-to-be. I propose that she go with something intentionally hokey, like "my intended."

Dear Sugar,
I got engaged last November, and our wedding is set for Oct. 18. Last March, my fiancé's company was bought out by a corporation and in early April, the entire office was shut down unexpectedly.

People I know are getting engaged left and right, but the word fiance seems to be used less and less. I don't really mind it myself, but it does kind of have a snobby ring to it — the word boyfriend just sounds so much more laid-back! On the other hand, some people use the word with a lot of pride and excitement when referring to their future husband.

My fiancé and I have been engaged for the past year and were together for a year before that. We were both 20 when we met, and within the first few weeks of our relationship my fiancé confided in me that he was a virgin and intended to be until he was married. He comes from a very religious and traditional family, and his values and morals are extremely important to him — one of the many reasons why I love him.

A business associate of your fiancé is having a huge and decadent wedding this weekend. He’s also a possible investor in your fiancé’s new start up, so it’s a schmoozing event too. Of course you’ve been planning on going, but when you come down with a horrible flu, there’s just no way you can make it.

Dear Sugar and Not Into it Isabelle need your help. Is she obligated to go to this outrageously expensive destination wedding?

Almost seven months ago, my fiance's best friend killed himself. This was devastating to him, because they did everything to together and had been best friends for about six or seven years. It was a very hard time for him and for me, because I felt like I was useless, and naturally it's very hard to watch a loved one in pain.

My best friend recently got engaged to a great guy. I couldn't be happier for her, but there's a problem. She doesn't understand how to divide her time between him and me.

Dear Sugar--
My fiancé is being very secretive to me lately. He hasn't wanted me around him and is seeking extreme alone time. He has told me before he has a disgust for all things pornographic, but he is spending at least 30 to 50 minutes in the bathroom.

Dear Sugar--
I just returned from my bachelorette party and on the last night, one of my bridesmaids, who had had one too many drinks, made a comment to one of the other girls saying that she couldn't stand my fiance! Unbenounced to her, I overheard her but didn't say anything out of respect for the other girls.
Well, now that we are all back, I can't stop thinking about what she said.
