The new guy your best friend is seeing has rubbed you the wrong way from day one. You’ve always been nice to him, but you get a very sketchy and somewhat controlling vibe from him.
Most recently you witnessed some strange scenes between him and your friend where it seems he’s intentionally putting her down in a condescending manner.

Dear Sugar,
I'm a 23-year-old, recent college graduate living with my mom and her new husband. My mother and I have had issues with our relationship for years. I've always been her scapegoat whenever she needs to vent, which is almost every day.

Dear Sugar,
I met this guy over a year and a half ago. We fell for each other instantly, intensely, and passionately. However three or four months in, it was clear (from our constant clashing) that we differed in personalities, likes and dislikes, opinions, communication styles, you name it.

Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I spend wonderful times together, but always after a great weekend or outing he goes into work mode and gets completely busy and distracted. I on the other hand have an idle mind, and I end up thinking a lot about our relationship — how I think it should be. I want to be able to see him every single day.

Dear Sugar--
You would think I would know these things by now but I'm very confused. Maybe this is the way relationships are supposed to be. But I don't think so. 
Let me say this out loud - Mental Abuse is STILL Abuse. A person does not have to hit you or hurt you physically in order for it to constitute as abuse.
Someone who is emotionally abusive often feels worthless themselves, and uses their relationships to create a feeling of personal power and control over someone else. 
I just found out this unfortunate statistic: in America, at least 1 in every 3 women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime. Abuse is NEVER okay - period. No one should ever be subjected to an abusive relationship, but unfortunately it's a reality and sometimes figuring out how to get out is hard to deal with alone.
Dear Sugar--
I'm having a problem with my neighbors. They just got a puppy, and from what I see (and hear) they aren't taking very good care of it. For the past 2 weeks, I can hear it every morning at 4 or 5 in the morning, whining and crying because they just leave the poor thing tied up outside. 
DearSugar --
My boyfriend gets intensely jealous at times over guys I've liked (not dated) previously. Before dating him, I had been a virgin, and now, about a year afterwards, he claims that I've lied to him. I've asked him to talk to my closest girl friends and told them to tell him EVERYTHING they know about my past, in addition to telling him myself.
