Where Do You Stand? Sharing the Family Dirt With Friends
It seems like along the way, every family manages to gain a few secrets or drama-filled issues. And often the family gossip can have a serious effect on your day-to-day life. As with all personal strife, it’s natural to want to talk it out with friends, but sometimes spilling family news can feel a bit disloyal.
This or That: Misinterpretation or Mixed Signals?
You and your best guy friend have known each other for over ten years and you’ve never been anything more than friends. You’ve both watched each other go through difficult times and failed relationships, but now things have become complicated. He’s finally settled down with a girlfriend, and you’ve found yourself pining away for his closest male friend.
You Asked: He Doesn't Have Boundaries
.larger.jpg)
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend of three years supervises around 25 women. About eight months ago, we were out of town and he received a text message, which I picked up since he wasn't around. It was a very sexual joke from one of his employees, whom I already have issues with since she's constantly telling my boyfriend how she wants to leave her husband, which I find totally inappropriate.
This or That: A Violation of Your Privacy or of Your Relationship?
After losing your practically perfect roommate of a year — she moved away for grad school — you were stuck looking for someone to sublet the extra room in your apartment. Perhaps out of desperation you made a choice too quickly, and now you're stuck with your current roommate who gets on your nerves. What's worse, she has zero boundaries, which you realize when you come home early from work and catch her in the midst of some unacceptable behavior.
A Case of Too Much Information
Do you have a friend, or worse, a coworker who just doesn’t know when to stop sharing information about her personal life? When people end up leaving everyone around them slightly uncomfortable, they've divulged TMI, or too much information. Things that fall under that category might be your mom’s sex life, your boss’s bathroom habits, your neighbor’s foot fetish, or even your own personal fantasies.
Dear Poll: How Are Your Boundaries?
Boundaries. Boundaries. Boundaries.
You Asked: Can He Quit His Crush and Be a Friend?
DearSugar --
I have a male friend who I have been friends with for awhile now. About six years ago, I wasn't dating anyone and messed around with this friend. It was a bad idea and I wished it had never happened because I knew he had strong feelings for me.
You Asked: I Don't Know How to Talk Dirty
DearSugar --
I have been with my boyfriend for 4 months, and he is always trying to get me to have phone sex with him. I always try to avoid the conversation as much as possible. The problem is, I don't know how to.

Have You Ever Dated a Mama's Boy?
In a way, that's a trick question.
Although "mama's boy" has negative connotations (he was smothered or spoiled by mom), a man who was raised with love and affection by a mother with boundaries often grows up to be what the author of Raising Boys Without Men calls a "head and heart" person.
This positive version of a mama's boy, says Peggy Drexler, is in touch with his and others' emotions and knows how to communicate.
