Relationship Protocol: Does Your Significant Other Show Emotion Well?

DearSugar — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 07:30:00 -0700

Not everyone wears their feelings on their sleeves, but it's important to be able to express yourself when you need a shoulder to cry on, someone to share exciting news with, or someone to vent your frustration to. And while it's a common assumption that women are more emotional than men, guys can be impassioned too. Even if he doesn't cry in front of you, tell me, does your significant other show his emotion well?

Relationship Protocol: The Aging Process

DearSugar — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 06:00:00 -0700

Women spend millions of dollars every year on anti-aging products, yet so many of us admit to feeling better in our own skin the older we get. With age comes wisdom, but it comes with a change of appearance too. It seems that men aren't as concerned with it, but tell me, what do you think about the way your significant other is aging? Do you find his growth in character and those few gray hairs extremely sexy, or are you more of a fan of his baby face?

Relationship Protocol: Are You Fighting About Money?

DearSugar — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 10:00:00 -0700

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?

Relationship Protocol: How Do You Feel About Your Man Staying Out Late?

DearSugar — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 09:00:00 -0800

I caught up on Monday night's episode of The City last night, and I have to say, Jay's late-night antics really made me doubt his trustworthiness. He's currently living with his girlfriend, Whitney, while he looks for a new apartment, and while she's home cozy in bed, he's out being the rock star that he is until the wee hours of the morning, doing who knows what!

I happen to agree with the saying "nothing good happens after midnight" - well, maybe 2 a.m.! - but how would you feel if your significant other was out on the town until, two, three, or four in the morning? Would it be a red flag that he was up to no good, or does the time he comes home have no relevance to you whatsoever?

Relationship Protocol: Do You Have a Secret Language With Your Man?

DearSugar — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 09:00:00 -0800

Hugh Jackman briefly stopped by Oprah's post-Oscar special yesterday to chat about his first time hosting the big show, and when asked about his nerves before game time, he revealed that it was a secret gesture he shared with his wife - who was sitting in the sixth row - that gave him the confidence to remain cool, calm, and collected.

He seemed pretty assured to me, so clearly their non-verbal communication worked, but their connection got me thinking so I have to ask: Do you have a secret mode of communication in your relationship? If so, tell us about it!

Relationship Protocol: What Articles of Clothing Are Off-Limits?

DearSugar — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 10:00:00 -0800

I'm pretty comfortable with nudity, including getting dressed and undressed in front of a significant other. But as we all know, there are some articles of clothing, especially undergarments, that don't highlight your features in the best light. For example, tights are one thing that I would avoid putting on in front of my special someone at all costs! I might be alone on this one so tell me, are there any articles of clothing that you put on or take off behind closed doors in an effort to maintain the mystique in your relationship?

Relationship Protocol: Has Monetary Stress Affected Your Relationship?

DearSugar — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 06:00:00 -0800

Even if the economy hasn't forced you to drastically change your lifestyle, the stress in the air is undeniable. Though 2009 is sure to be an exciting year, it'll also be one chock-full of uncertainty and apprehension. I know that money woes affect everyone differently, so tell me, has it played a role in your otherwise carefree relationship?

Relationship Protocol: Who Is More of a Planner?

DearSugar — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:15:00 -0800

I'm a planner by nature, and while I've always assumed that's more of a female trait, I know some men that prove my theory wrong. When a man takes the reins and leads the way, it shows that he's confident and assertive - a huge turn-on if you ask me - but when it comes to the roles you play in your relationship, tell me ladies, who's more of a planner?

Relationship Protocol: Do You Indulge Together?

DearSugar — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 15:00:00 -0800

Primping and being girly comes second nature to a lot of us, but I'm learning that men enjoy pampering themselves every once in a while, too! Whether it's getting massages or soaking in the tub together, tell me, do you and your significant other spoil yourselves together?

Relationship Protocol: I Love You More Than Blank

DearSugar — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 07:30:00 -0800

My friend just sent me this adorable website that I wanted to share with all of you. It's called I Love You More Than Blank, and the idea is to fill in the blank to find out the real things people are willing to put behind true love - you know, like Uggs on a cold day, chocolate chip cookies, and hitting the snooze button!

Since the international day of love is fast approaching, I thought asking you to fill in the blank would be a good precursor to Valentine's Day. So tell me, you love your significant other more than what?
