You Asked: I Moved In and Now I Want to Stay
Dear Sugar,
I moved in with my boyfriend because of financial reasons and because he wanted to help me out. We both said it would be temporary, but now I'm not sure I can go backwards. I want to make a life with him because I love him so much, and I know he feels the same but I'm not sure how to bring this up.
You Asked: Can I Tell My Boyfriend to Get a Job?
Dear Sugar--
My boyfriend and I have been together for about 4 years now, and it seems like everyone around us is getting engaged, married, having kids, and moving in together. I'm not in any rush to get married, but I do want us to live together. He is currently unemployed and we don't have the money to move in together.
You Asked: He Won't Help With the Chores
Dear Sugar--
I've been with my boyfriend for two and a half years now and we've been living together for a year and a half. The things is that we always have those kinds of arguments that people have when they live together - about things he's left around the house, about the bathroom being messy, and about him not helping with the dishes, etc.
Yesterday he told me that he wanted to get his own place for a while since we're always arguing about household stuff.
Are You Anti-Marriage?
As a little girl, I always knew I'd grow up, meet someone and get married, or at least I always hoped I would. But in this day and age, with the divorce rate so high, I found that some of my friends (men and women), have made the conscious choice NOT to get married. They see marriage as the road to divorce.
You Asked: My Boyfriend Changed His Mind
Dear Sugar--
I am 18 yrs old and have been dating my boyfriend for a year and a half (he will be 21 in October). I'm very confused right now because he and I are planning on moving in together. We have been talking about this for at least six months, but now that I have finally talked to my mom and got her to accept it, he is very crabby and gets irritated when I bring it up.

Do You Believe in Living Together Before Marriage?
Sometimes I feel like my grandmother's generation is like another species. Those women were just so different when it came to their opinions about relationships. I try to welcome my mom's advice, but sometimes, it's just so "out there," that I have to end the conversation.

Sunday Confessional: My Parents Don't Know We're Living Together
Dear Sugar,
I've been dating my boyfriend for over a year and we've been living together for just over three months. The thing is, my parents are super conservative and would just die if they found out we were living together before marriage. So I've been lying to my parents, and when we see them, I make him lie too but he hates it.
