Group Therapy: I'm Feeling Bad About My Interracial Relationship
I'm currently in an interracial relationship and I'm really annoyed at the odd looks we occasionally receive while out and about. My boyfriend is white and I am Middle Eastern-looking (Turkish/German) so we do have different skin color. I am upset that this seems to matter to some people and it is starting to make me feel bad about myself, and I've always been really proud of my interesting look!
Do Tell: What Insecurity Would You Rid Yourself Of?
Insecurities — we all have them no matter how hard we try to fight them off. They can come in many different forms: a character trait, a nervous habit, or a way of life. But almost all of them have the ability to affect our daily life and routine, our relationships, our job, and our friendships.
Group Therapy: My Boyfriend Held Onto a Gift From His Ex
About a month ago I was checking out my boyfriend's bookshelf and saw a book with a very lovey-dovey inscription from an ex-girlfriend. It wasn't signed, but I'm pretty sure it was from the girl he dated about three years ago. I didn't say anything to him about it but two weeks later, we were preparing for a party in his apartment, and we moved things from his bookshelf to his closet — including this book.
How Long Did It Take to Have an Orgasm With a Partner?
Over the weekend, I decided to take advantage of the damp weather with a trip to the movies to see Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. I liked it and applauded it for doing something most teen comedies these days don't do: let teenagers have imperfections and real insecurities. In the story, it's revealed that Norah is unable to have an orgasm.
You Asked: Am I Being Unreasonable or Is He Being a Baby?
Dear Sugar,
I've been working at my job for a while now, and my co-workers throw quite a few parties. I haven't gone to any, but there is an upcoming surprise party I want to attend. It's being thrown by a female co-worker for her brother, who also works with us.
Dear Poll: Did You Lie About the Weight on Your Driver's License?
Whether we like it or not, body image plays a role in our life. In fact, weight problems can bring out cattiness among friends and reveal our deepest insecurities, which is why it’s not uncommon to learn that so many women lie about their weight on their driver’s license. I guess we feel better when the real number isn’t staring us in the face.
You Asked: I'm Tired of Being Afraid
Dear Sugar,
A while back my ex-boyfriend dumped me out of nowhere. I thought we were heading in a good direction and that we were finally getting to know each other. (In fact, less than a week before that happened we had spent our first romantic weekend together.) At the end of one date night on the way back to my place he told me that while he loved hanging out with me and that I was the best girlfriend he has ever had he just doesn't feel "it."
Handle This: His Ex Is a Model
In the time you’ve been dating your boyfriend, you’ve inevitably learned things about his past including a few details about his ex, like that she dumped him out of nowhere and completely broke his heart. He seems very nostalgic about their relationship, and you’ve always had a fear that he would take her back if he could.
While flipping through a magazine with him, he points out a picture of her in one of the ads; it turns out she’s a model, and she’s breathtakingly gorgeous, which he's quick to point out.
You Asked: Is He Over His Ex?
Dear Sugar,
I have been with the man that I plan to marry for a little over a year now. He is a great guy, but something recently happened that I just can't seem to get over. He was married previously, and things ended badly with his wife — she cheated on him.
You Asked: I'm So Paranoid
Dear Sugar,
My husband and I have been married for over a year. We have a sturdy relationship except that I'm very insecure about a particular ex of his. When we first got together, they were still friends and he flirted a little with her when he saw her.
