Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I have been going out for four years; since I was 20. Despite working full time, he still lives at home with his mother who is very controlling, and in turn, he lets her treat him that way. The problem is he can't say no to her.

Dear Sugar,
My roommate moved to Seattle (my town) from Indiana at the end of June after I had secured a lease on an apartment. We had never met before, except online through a mutual hobby. She moved in time to go to an interview for a job she did not end up getting.

Living with someone can give you an entirely new perspective, and unluckily it’s not always for the best. The close proximity created by a living space creates many opportunities for butting heads, and so I often hear people say that it’s better to live with someone you don’t know, rather than with a friend. It’s easy to lose a bad roommate but harder to lose a good friend.

You just moved into a new apartment with another girl. The place was super clean and the girl was nice, so it seemed like the perfect fit. But after only a week living with your roommate, you’re starting to notice something funny — specifically, her smell.

Financially speaking, times are tough for you and your fiancé. He was recently laid off and your job doesn’t pay well to begin with. Unfortunately, he’s been having a difficult time getting a new job, and now that your lease is up, you guys need to downgrade in order to make ends meet.

Things have been going extremely well with your new beau. In fact, you've been spending four nights a week at his apartment, and it's been as easy as can be. The only negative is that his roommate kind of gives you a strange vibe that you just can't put your finger on.

Dear Sugar,
I broke the cardinal rule of hooking up with my roommate. We have this amazing chemistry so it was bound to happen sooner than later. I'm fairly new to the city and he's become my closest friend and confidant.

Dear Sugar,
I have been dating my boyfriend for about six months already, and for those six months, he has basically been homeless. No, no like he's not a bum, but he lives with his single dad in their garage while their house is being constructed.
His dad has gone to great lengths to build the garage himself with bedrooms in the upper floor so they can get by until the house is complete.

Dear Sugar,
I just moved into my first condo that I bought myself and I love it, but I'm having a problem with my neighbors. They seriously have sex every single night, so loudly it shakes my walls. They scream out things I shouldn't hear, and the bed creaks rhythmically.

Dear Sugar--
I'm in an awkward position at 32 years old. I took my 2 year old daughter and I out of an abusive home and we are now living with my parents until the divorce is final or until I receive enough money to buy a new home. The divorce has been going on for 2 years now and my mother has been very understanding by opening her home to me.
