You Asked: He's Taking Me Where He Took His Ex!
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I are in a long distance relationship. We broke up once or twice, but got back together each time. During the breakups, we did see other people but those relationships never lasted long.
You Asked: Is Our Anniversary Ruined?
Dear Sugar,
My fourth wedding anniversary is coming up at the end of this month. Every year, my husband and I try to take a vacation around this holiday. The problem is I plan the trip every year but have a lot going on with work right now and the stress of planning is just too overwhelming.
You Asked: I Upset Her, So Now What?
Dear Sugar,
It's been two weeks since my college friend, who became a co-worker, has been giving me the cold shoulder. I've asked her if anything was wrong or if I had offended her in some way but she just ignores me. I asked her to coffee, to lunch, and to go for a walk so we could talk, but she turns me down each time.
Dear Poll: Who Do You Turn to First?
Since life isn't always wine and roses, we all need someone to turn to when the going gets tough. Sixty percent of you still turn to your mom, like me, but I'm sure a lot of you also turn to your significant other when you need comfort, support, or even just a voice of reason. Of course, our moms are irreplaceable, but when you're in a relationship that special someone can easily become your new go-to person during a time of crisis.
Dear Poll: Do You Have a Temper?
Everyone gets angry, but some of us tend to snap more easily than others. Maybe it's a frustrating customer service representative or an irritating comment from a family member, but suddenly your anger flares up in a bout of bad temper. Fortunately, I don't get heated easily, but I'd be lying if I said that stress didn't bring out my temper.
Dear Poll: Do You Tend to Overtalk?
Perhaps it's a female trait but there's just something in me that tends to overtalk when something is bothering me. There's no worse feeling than fighting with a loved one, especially your significant other, so when I feel like there are still things left unsaid I want to talk it out until they're resolved, even if it takes all night. Of course some people are of the sleep on it mindset, but what about you?
Do Tell: How Do You Get Over Something That's Bothering You?
We’ll all encounter something difficult in our lives eventually, whether it involves a particularly challenging situation or person, but learning to let go of the frustration and negative energy that follows can seem nearly impossible. Though time may heal most wounds, I still think it’s important to try to work through something in the present, too.
When I want to get over something, I usually give myself a good few hours of sad time before calling a friend for a vent session.
You Asked: How Do I Explain My Love to My Parents?
Dear Sugar,
I have been with my boyfriend for more than two years now. We met online, and then met in person about a year ago. We've since gotten together twice this Spring and had a blast the whole time.
This or That: Whining or Gloating?
You and a friend have made a great duo for the past year while you’ve both been single. It’s been so nice to have someone to commiserate with over all the bad dates and giggle with after the great late nights. While you’re not opposed to finding a guy, you’re actually really happy with the way things have been lately.
Do Tell: Do You Get Upset Over True Accidents?
Accidents happen, there's no real way to prevent them, but sometimes even though you know something was a mishap, you're still upset and angry. For example, if a friend were to spill red wine on your brand new sofa, of course you'd be flustered, maybe even irate, but what can you do — it was an accident! I've gotten better at accepting the unintentional, but sometimes it's easier said than done.
