Handle This: He Wants to Try Anal Sex
On occasion, your boyfriend has mentioned that he’s really enjoyed anal sex in the past and would like to try it with you. You've always felt hesitant about the idea, and naturally brushed off his requests. Lately, however, you’ve started feeling as if he’s pressuring you into it.
Do Tell: Where Does the Pressure in Your Life Come From?
I’ve found that pressure either makes people work 10 times harder, or it stresses them out to the point where they can’t do anything at all. In either case, substantial pressure can be overwhelming and hard to avoid.
To make matters worse, pressure has no boundaries; it can enter your personal life just as easily as your professional one, and often comes from the people closest to you.
You Asked: Are We Compatible?
Dear Sugar,
I have been with my boyfriend for two and a half years. We now live together and both work full-time jobs, do well financially, love to travel together, plan the future (marriage, home, kids) and according to our friends, we are a great couple. I'm 24 and he is 26 and we are happy, however I've been feeling more frustrated lately about certain things.
You Asked: Why Can't I Get a Date?
Dear Sugar,
I haven't had a relationship in over seven years and I am wondering what is wrong with me. It seems that everyone around me is either engaged or setting a date to be married, and I don't even have a boyfriend! I have dated a few guys, but I'm always the one left wondering what went wrong.
You Asked: I Don't Want to Get Married
Dear Sugar,
I have been with my boyfriend for four years, and we currently live together. In more ways than not, we're like a married couple, although we don't have a joint bank account. Everyone is pushing me to get married, but I don't want to!
Group Therapy: What Should My Response Be?
I am 28 and single. I have been in a serious relationship for a little over two years with a man that is 31. We plan on getting married in about a year, when he is finished with law school.
Dear Poll: Does Your Work Life Interfere With Your Personal Life?
Although I’m sure Savvy would advise against it, sometimes it seems nearly impossible to separate professional life from personal life. I know in the past when I’ve had a terrible day at work, I’ve ended up having an equally terrible night at home. Somehow my bad mood leaves me irritable and short with my loved ones no matter how hard I try to leave my work baggage at the office.
You Asked: His Pressure Is Going to Tear Us Apart
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I have been together for five months now but we've know each other for two years. We are very much in love, and have talked about getting married one day. We are both still young, and while I have graduated college and have a stable, well-paying job, he does not.
Dear Poll: Would You Let the Pressure Get to You?
So Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey haven't been together all that long, but the swirling pressure for them to get engaged is even felt by total strangers. I don't know if it's the media's perception that she's ready for him to get down on bended knee or if she's actually come right out and said it, but engagement pressure of any kind sure can put a serious strain on even the best relationship. No matter if the pestering is done in a supportive way — "You look so happy, it must be happening soon!"
Group Therapy: How Do I Break the News?
A while ago I met this really nice guy. We went on several dates and got along great. Things were going really well and it felt like soon things would lead to a relationship.
