Group Therapy: I Need a Confidence Boost
How do you develop better self-esteem, self-confidence, and the ability to stand up for yourself? I have struggled with this all my life. I am horrible at saying no to people, and am really bad at sticking up for myself.
This or That: His Mom's a Diva or a Control Freak?
You knew your fiancé’s mom had issues, but since you’ve started wedding planning, you’ve really been able to see her true colors. Now you’re in direct contact with her multiple times a week without your fiancé as a buffer. Would it be worse if .
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.
Relationship Protocol: Sharing the Road
Relationships are all about sharing, from feelings to responsibilities. But some things are not as easily shared as others, like driving. I’ve found that many individuals in relationships consider themselves a better driver than their counterpart so much so that they either demand to be the driver or won’t allow their significant other to drive their car.
You Asked: She's Ruined Our Friendship
Dear Sugar,
Over the years, I've gotten to know my husband's best friend and really come to think of him as a good friend of mine. He started dating his current girlfriend about two years ago, and they have been off and on since. From day one, she has been rude, condescending, and spiteful towards me.
Dear Poll: Are You a Control Freak?
For me, the feeling of being out of control is one of the worst feelings in the world. I wouldn't call myself a control freak per se; I just don't like surprises! Unfortunately, some people view control freaks in a negative light— calling them power trippers and know-it-alls — but I don't consider it a personality flaw in the slightest.
Group Therapy: My Friend Chose Her Controlling Boyfriend Over Me
My best friend recently met a guy through an online dating site. I've met him just once; I invited her to a concert, and she invited him along without telling me. They were upset with each other that night, and I offered to cut the night short, since it was uncomfortable to sit through a concert while they were both so angry.
The BAFTA Awards: The Winners
There were smiles all round on Sunday night, as the British Academy of Film and Television award winners were announced in London. Jonathan Ross presented the award ceremony, in place of the familiar Stephen Fry, and the gongs were split fairly evenly over the best films of last year. Out of its massive haul of fourteen nominations, Atonement picked up only two awards – although one of those was the top award of Best Film, and La Vie En Rose picked up four awards.
You Asked: How Can I Help My Girlfriend?
Dear Sugar,
My girlfriend visits your site constantly, so I figured this might be a way to reach out to her. We recently moved in together after dating for four years, and I soon noticed how out of whack her eating and exercising habits are. I never said anything before because I figured she had been this way behind closed doors for a while, and while I knew she was health conscious she's taken it to a whole other level.
Fit Tip: Shhh . . . Work Out Quietly
One thing I have learned from Pilates and yoga is that moving slowly with precision and finesse is a lot more work than heedlessly throwing your body around. One way to work on your control (one of the fundamentals of Pilates) is to listen to yourself. If you are running on a treadmill and stomping all kinds of crazy, you are not working your control or your core.
