The Benefits of Long Distance
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. Feeling like a major facet of your relationship is out of your control can be very frustrating, and missing someone is always a struggle. Together, these can make long distance relationships difficult, which is probably why they get such a bad reputation.

You Asked: My Friend With Benefits Doesn't Make an Effort
Dear Sugar,
I had a horrible breakup not too long ago, and so I'm not currently dating right now. I'm OK with being single, but the one thing that I am not a fan of is the lack of sex. I started up a sex-buddy relationship with an ex of mine that I'm still really good friends with because we're both unattached, but I never see him!

You Asked: Friends With Benefits
Dear Sugar,
I have been in a "friends with benefits" relationship with this guy for a year now, but lately he's been acting differently and I think he may be sleeping with other women. I asked him about it and he said he has slept with other women but it hasn't been recent.
I don't believe him, because recently I've found evidence of other women being at his place (another woman's hair on the bathroom floor, another woman's business card on his living room floor, and a condom wrapper in the trashcan, which he claims was used by his cousin who came to visit him).

Group Therapy: Do Friends With Benefits Really Work?
I recently hooked up with a friend, and pretty much knew that he wasn't interested in starting a relationship with anyone because he recently just got out of one. But of course, like you would imagine, my feelings for him afterward grew. It took me a few weeks to actually get over it, but it was a pretty amazing night.
Do Tell: What Are Your Rules For Casual Sex?
I never noticed the similarities between a friends with benefits relationship and a temp job, until I watched this adorable little vid explaining how to have casual sex. It presents a pretty solid set of rules that can be applied to both temp jobs and FWB arrangements, including "don't leave anything there" and "don't expect special treatment on your birthday." Hilarious, but also great advice.
