Fighting
Have You Ever Gotten Into a Brawl With Another Woman?
First, a rumored bar fight involving Mischa Barton, and now Miss England? Whatever happened to sweet and demure?
Rachel Christie, the reigning Miss England, has to give up her crown and withdraw from the Miss World competition which will be held in South Africa next month because of an alleged bar brawl earlier in the week with another beauty queen, one Sara Beverley Jones (Miss Manchester).
Do You Fight Fair?
Every couple faces that moment when the fairy dust of romance settles, they're in a relationship — and a conflict triggers their first fight. How a couple fights (or if they fight at all) can determine whether or not they will have a healthy and enduring relationship.
The word "fight" has such negative connotations, but in every relationship, disagreements will come up that need to be negotiated and resolved.
You Asked: How Can I Change?
Dear Sugar,
Me and my boyfriend got into a couple of bad fights last month. Actually it was more like me yelling like a crazy person and him trying to walk away. He says he does that so he won't say something he'll regret, but I take it as him not listening or not caring.
Relationship Protocol: Are You Fighting About Money?
I wasn't all that surprised when I read in the April issue of Glamour magazine that 43 percent of couples fight about money. When you're having to learn to love the simple life again and cut back on your frivolous spending, it's easy to be on edge — especially if your money woes are ruining your sex life!
Of course this recession is affecting everyone differently so tell me, is money a topic of conversation that lends itself to an argument these days?
Dear Poll: Have You Ever Fought With Your Significant Other in Public?
Yesterday I gave you the dos and don'ts of fighting and one of my suggestions was to fight in private. Not only is it important for the quarreling couple to be disturbance free, but fighting in public is sure to make everyone in the vicinity feel incredibly uncomfortable. Now I know that it's easy to let our emotions get the best of us, but tell me, have you ever gotten into a knockdown, drag-out fight with your significant other in a public place?

You Asked: Is My Lack of Spirituality Going to Tear Us Apart?
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I got sober together and have been dating, clean and off drugs, for over a year now. He uses a 12-step program to maintain his sobriety and is a highly spiritual person. I do not use a 12-step program, nor am I religious or spiritual.
Have You Ever Had a Valentine's Day Go Awry?
There's a lot of pressure that surrounds Valentine's Day, and for those that crack under such pressure, it could make for a tricky holiday. Often times when you put so much emphasis on making one specific day perfect, things can easily go haywire. I've heard your favorite Valentine's Day memories, but tell me, have you ever had a Valentine's Day go awry?
You Asked: Is It Too Late to Mend Our Friendship?
Dear Sugar,
Last year I went to visit one of my best friends in Chicago. Before I had arrived, she mentioned that she cut her hair really short. A few years ago when I did the same thing, she would tease me about it, so the night I arrived, in joking, I said something about her new "boy" do.
Relationship Protocol: After a Fight, Who Apologizes First?
I've definitely been in a few relationships where it felt like I was always the one apologizing after an argument — even when I knew it wasn't actually me who was in the wrong. Let's face it: Some people just can't say, "I'm sorry" first, regardless of the circumstance. So how is it in your relationship?
