You Asked: Thinking About Being Intimate Again Since My Husband's Death
Dear Sugar,

You Asked: Do I Need to Get Over Myself?
Dear Sugar--
I have been in a relationship for a year and a half, and my boyfriend just recently moved away for grad school. I live in Colorado and he lives in New York, so it's quite a distance.

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.

Together, these can make long distance relationships difficult, which is probably why they get such a bad reputation.
Intimacy Device Helps Long-Distance Couples See the Love
No, not that kind of intimacy device; this one has glimmers of science fiction.

A new invention, dubbed Mutsugoto, allows couples to "communicate intimacy" by drawing with lights on each other's bodies.
Dear Poll: Have You Been in a Long-Distance Relationship?
Long-distance relationships, or LDRs, seem to come up a lot around here. If you’ve been in one before, are currently in one now, or would never even consider one, it seems like everyone has some very specific feelings on the matter. I for one think long-distance relationships are very feasible, at least temporarily, but always challenging, too.
You Asked: Long Distance Is Hard!
Dear Sugar,
I feel like just when I have finally found a strong and stable relationship, it's all about to crumble. My boyfriend and I have been dating for six months, none of which have been easy.
