Over the weekend, I decided to take advantage of the damp weather with a trip to the movies to see
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. I liked it and applauded it for doing something most teen comedies these days don't do: let teenagers have imperfections and real insecurities. In the story, it's revealed that Norah is unable to have an orgasm.

Dear Sugar,
I've been working at my job for a while now, and my co-workers throw quite a few parties. I haven't gone to any, but there is an upcoming surprise party I want to attend. It's being thrown by a female co-worker for her brother, who also works with us.

Whether we like it or not, body image plays a role in our life. In fact, weight problems can bring out
cattiness among friends and reveal our deepest insecurities, which is why it’s not uncommon to learn that so many women lie about their weight on their driver’s license. I guess we feel better when the real number isn’t staring us in the face.

Dear Sugar,
A while back my ex-boyfriend dumped me out of nowhere. I thought we were heading in a good direction and that we were finally getting to know each other. (In fact, less than a week before that happened we had spent our first romantic weekend together.) At the end of one date night on the way back to my place he told me that while he loved hanging out with me and that I was the best girlfriend he has ever had he just doesn't feel "it."

In the time you’ve been dating your boyfriend, you’ve inevitably learned things about
his past including a few details about his ex, like that she dumped him out of nowhere and completely broke his heart. He seems very nostalgic about their relationship, and you’ve always had a fear that he would take her back if he could.
While flipping through a magazine with him, he points out a picture of her in one of the ads; it turns out she’s a model, and she’s breathtakingly gorgeous, which he's quick to point out.

Dear Sugar,
I have been with the man that I plan to marry for a little over a year now. He is a great guy, but something recently happened that I just can't seem to get over. He was married previously, and things ended badly with his wife — she cheated on him.

Dear Sugar,
My husband and I have been married for over a year. We have a sturdy relationship except that I'm very insecure about a particular ex of his. When we first got together, they were still friends and he flirted a little with her when he saw her.

Dear Sugar,
I've been in some really terrible relationships and dealt with some tough things in my past, so now I have a very difficult time opening up to people and really showing them who I am. I met someone about year ago, and we've spent a lot of time together, and I think, grown pretty attached to each other yet I still can't get myself to let my guard down.
Our talks are starting to get more serious — we talk about the long-term picture and plans that we want to make with each other.

Dear Sugar,
I've been in a serious relationship with my boyfriend for a year now and things have been great. But a few months ago, I had a dream that he was cheating on me. Ever since I've kept getting these unfounded ideas in my head that he might be doing things that I don't approve of.

Dear Sugar,
I met this amazing guy a year and a half ago. We hit it off right away and started dating exclusively. After about a year, we had our first real fight.
