Dear Aside
You Asked: Can I Save Our Christmas?
Dear Sugar,
My husband and I are hosting Christmas dinner this year, but I'm feeling very uncomfortable for the following reason. This past year, the relationship between my six siblings and mother has become very fractured for a number of reasons, but mostly because my mom and eldest sister create too much toxic drama. Some of the siblings are fed up, and don't want to come to Christmas unless I can 100 percent guarantee that my mom and sister won't be there.
You Asked: How Can I Afford Christmas This Year?
Dear Sugar,
I'm the oldest of four children and am currently living at home with my parents to save money, get out of debt and get back on my feet. I'm on a budget and suggested a spending limit on sibling gifts this year. It's not that I'm trying to be a Scrooge, but there is only so much I can realistically spend on each person on my list without going into more debt.
You Asked: My Boyfriend Thinks I'm Fat
Dear Sugar,
I entered a relationship with my current boyfriend while I was recovering from a long-term eating disorder. I never really went into detail with him, but I did tell him I was gaining weight to be healthier. I went from 80 pounds at five feet, one inch at the very beginning of our relationship to 92 pounds now.
Ask E. Jean For DearSugar: I'm Happy, But Not Sexually Pleased
Dear E. Jean,
I’m 25 and have been with my boyfriend, a perfect gentleman, two years. In the beginning everything seemed wonderful; and things are still great except for the sex.
You Asked: My Boyfriend Doesn't Believe in Himself
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend just graduated from college last Spring and is taking some time off. Right now he's taking community college classes and deciding what direction he wants to go with his life (grad school, career, etc). His parents are more than fine with supporting him — he's worked really hard, and deserves a break — so he can avoid jumping into something he hates.
You Asked: I'm Getting Depressed About Being Unemployed
Dear Sugar,
I just finished my master's in May and I still can't find a job. I am in the education field and I live on Long Island, where jobs are hard to find. My boyfriend and I have an apartment together, and he is working a lot to keep us afloat.
You Asked: His Roommate Is Affecting Our Relationship
Dear Sugar,
Last Summer my boyfriend moved in with one of his friends. We are both very busy and usually see each other on the weekends. Most of the time I sleep at his place but things have been strange lately; it seems like my boyfriend's friend is jealous of the relationship we have.
You Asked: How Can I Know if He's Cheating?
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I have been together for two years and two months. He's a wonderful man, but I've been noticing some strange things that lead me to believe that he might be cheating on me. For example, he doesn't want me to see his phone, and before he used to have a picture of me on his phone wallpaper, but suddenly he has a picture of himself instead.
You Asked: Am I Overreacting Here?
Dear Sugar,
One of my oldest friends lives in another city. He recently came down to visit me and it was a great reunion with one small problem: he’s turned into a major pothead. He’s always enjoyed his weed, and although I don’t smoke pot, I don’t mind if he does on his own time.
You Asked: Should I Try to Fall in Love With Him Again?
Dear Sugar,
I have been with my current boyfriend for about four years. We have lived together for three, and until recently things have been great. He works full time and goes to school full time.
