You Asked: I Feel Guilty For Moving On
Dear Sugar,
I recently got out of an eight-year relationship with someone who was my best friend. At the end he cheated on me numerous times and we both felt that we needed a break before either of us could work on our relationship. When we were separating, I instated a policy that neither of us would date other people for the first six months, but he wanted to be more "free."
Halloween Theory: Ghosts, Goblins, and Breakups?
A bunch of my girl friends have this theory about Halloween. According to them, if you've been dating someone but aren't sure whether you want to be with them or even if it's going anywhere, then Halloween marks a pivotal time. You either have to cut it off right now or you'll be stuck with them through the entirety of Winter.
12 Steps to Falling in Love
For some, being single and dating is a lot of fun, but for others, being single can be frustrating, lonely, and just plain exhausting. I think both have their pros and cons, but if you've been feeling unlucky in love, Rabbi Shmuley's (of Oprah fame) 12 steps to falling in love might be of some help.
- Admit you can't fall in love: Since many people couple up to avoid loneliness, Shmuley feels that admitting the reason why you want to fall in love will help gain realistic expectations.
- Get help: Opening up about wanting to, but having a difficult time finding love will help alleviate some of the pressure and burden.
- Heal the love wounds: Make amends with former lovers you may have hurt in the past.
You Asked: Should I Wait For Him?
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend of a year and a half — I'm 23, and he's 21 — told me that he wants to break up because he doesn't want to be in a relationship right now. But he also says that he wants to be good friends. We met at work, so we see each other all the time.
Group Therapy: How Do You Let Go?
I am tired of my relationship with my boyfriend. He takes me for granted and clearly doesn't appreciate me and the things that I did for him while he was down and out. I believe that he's holding onto the relationship because he has no one else that will treat him like I will.
You Asked: Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Dear Sugar,
I have been with my boyfriend for a little over four years. We've made it through a lot of obstacles together, and I love him dearly. We recently hit a plateau and have broken up several times in the last few months.
Dear Poll: Have You Ever Written a Dear John Letter?

A "Dear John" letter is the quintessential breakup tool if you can’t bear to say goodbye to someone’s face, or at least it used to be back when people wrote letters. With so many outlets for communication these days, if you’re going to back out of the direct breakup, it might just be easier to get him on the phone. But letters and well-written emails can actually be a great way to say what you really want to say to someone.
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.
