After hearing stories from my married friends about their husbands, I realize how many men are stuck in their mother's ways! It may be endearing for a guy to be a mama's boy, but it can seem a little childish to demand that something be done a particular way for no reason other than, "that's how my mom did it." Does your significant other act this way?

With the exception of pushovers, I'm sure most of us can be a little stubborn sometimes, especially about the things that matter to us most. But there's a difference between holding onto your opinions and just being plain old difficult. In all aspects of life, knowing when to compromise is definitely an important skill.

Are you the kind of person who takes a stand and then won't back down? Are you set in your ways and resistant to change? Do you refuse to admit that you're wrong, or have a hard time compromising if it means you won't get your way?

Rosie O'Donnell has certainly made a name for herself over the past year with her strong opinions about the war in Iraq, her personal views on Donald Trump and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and her views on gays in America.

Dear Sugar,
I've been with my boyfriend for almost two years and we love each other very much. I recently moved overseas to be with him and things have been going great, with the exception of his sister — she has never accepted me and always treats me like I'm not wanted. In the almost two years that he and I have been together, she has never once called me to make plans or even just to say hi, and she has made her feelings about me very clear to him and his parents.

Dear Sugar,
I have a somewhat unique problem. While I love my boyfriend with all my heart, and know that he loves me in return, my parents don't approve of him. There has never been a falling out between them, and I still don't have a clear understanding as to why they dislike him; they just tell me to trust them because they "know best."

Even if you're not typically stubborn, sometimes admitting when you're wrong can be difficult. This becomes even harder if you were particularly adamant about being right — something I tend to do myself! When I'm wrong though, I'm wrong, and I usually have no problem saying so, but what about you?
