Do Tell: Have You Ever Had a Pregnancy Scare?

DearSugar — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:00:00 -0700

Unless you’re currently trying for children, your sex life is probably focused on not getting pregnant as much as it is on the sex itself. Since we know all about the various methods of contraception out there, we also know that none of them are 100 percent effective. If you’re having sex, there’s always a slim possibility you could get pregnant. And if you have a regular period, missing it for even a day could send you rushing out for pregnancy tests. So ladies, in your attempts to avoid it, have you ever had a pregnancy scare?

Dear Poll: Are You Scared of Being Alone?

DearSugar — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:00:00 -0700

These days, if a woman admits to being sad about her single status or reveals that she's scared she might end up alone, she's suddenly considered needy or unempowered. Though we may not be rushing out to alert our friends of these thoughts for fear of judgment, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with feeling a tinge of trepidation at the thought of being alone — it's totally normal for both genders to want companionship! So without worries of being labeled as something you're not, answer this: Are you scared of being alone? Source

Dear Poll: Are You Scared of Being Alone?

Not at all. Life is unpredictable; take it as it comes and enjoy what you do have.

Yes, the idea of being alone makes me extremely anxious.

I know it’s not rational, but sometimes it gets to me. I just push it aside.

It doesn’t worry me now, but it might have me concerned a few decades from now if I don’t have someone in my life.

DearSugar — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 14:00:00 -0700

You and your fiancé have been planning your nuptials for nine months. You've had your bridal shower, and everything is booked with all the details in place. But recent fights with your fiancé have led you to see your relationship more clearly than ever. Suddenly you're not sure if this is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

You love your fiancé dearly, but you feel like there are things you've ignored for a while that just aren't working for you. The idea of canceling your wedding is humiliating and terrifying — both sets of parents will be devastated — but you're also scared of making a mistake, so how would you handle this?

Cheetahs, and Tigers, and Crows, Oh My!

When a wild animal is discovered running loose on the streets, peeps go batsh*t. The animal, on the other hand, remains as calm as can be. The following surveillance footage shows what happens when unsuspecting pedestrians have surprise encounters with animals typically found in the wild. Their reactions, although totally warranted, are hilarious. Most of them make a run for it. Meanwhile, a tiger with a Frisbee in his mouth is left wondering where the hell he can find a bottle of agua up in this liquor store . . .

Handle This: Followed Home

DearSugar — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 11:00:00 -0700

Walking home from a friend’s house late on a Thursday night, you notice a man hovering about a block behind you. He seems to be minding his own business, so you try not to worry and instead, focus on getting home quickly. However in just a few minutes he’s only 20 feet behind you.

Of course there’s no way to be sure that he’s following you, but your gut tells you something is wrong. You’re a minute away from your house, so how would you handle this?

Do Tell: How Do Divorce Statistics Make You Feel About Marriage?

DearSugar — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 10:00:00 -0700

Sometimes it feels like every time I turn around there’s a new statistic or study that’s related to the increasing divorce rate. While that kind of research certainly has its place, frankly, it can get pretty depressing. Fortunately, I know a lot of amazing married couples to remind me that these percentages are just numbers. But even so, it can still feel like divorce is practically inevitable. So ladies, do tell: Does talk about doomed marriages make you hesitate when it comes to taking the next step?

Scare Tactic Is a Little Too Successful

GiggleSugar — Sat, 03 May 2008 03:00:00 -0700

If it's really the thought that counts, then this dude can't be blamed for concerning himself with his aunt's safety. She never locks her front doors and her darling nephew fears the worst. So with the best of intentions, he decides to take action — using a hockey mask and a butcher knife. What a gent. Her reaction is priceless.

You Asked: He Won't Commit

DearSugar — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 17:00:00 -0800

Dear Sugar,

I've been seeing a man for over a year now, and he can't give me an affirmative answer as to how he feels for me. I have known him for over 20 years and would really love to be with him for the rest of my life. He's very stable and gives me the sense of security that has always been missing in my life.

I'll also add that he's currently seeing another woman that he has been with for over 10 years. I want so badly to be with him, but because of the lack of commitment, I don't know whether to just tell him to make up his mind or let me go. I've tried to stay away from him but I just can't. What can I do?
