Do You Enjoy the Beginning of Relationships?

DearSugar — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 11:00:00 -0800

The Hills has wrapped for the season, but not to worry, we now have The City! With a new cast of characters comes a slew of new drama — the good, the bad, and I'm sure, the ugly. If you tuned in last night, you know that Whitney moved to the big apple for a new career and a new man, but it seems like her new love interest has already caused his fair share of turmoil within the group.

As we all know, the beginning of a relationship can be tough — you don't always know where you stand, and it's easy for feelings and rumors to be misconstrued. On the other hand, there's nothing as exciting as the unknown future with that person. Most of us have experienced this so tell me, do you enjoy the excitement of a blossoming relationship or could you do without the awkward stage?

You Asked: Can I Save Our Christmas?

DearSugar — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 12:30:00 -0800

Dear Sugar,

My husband and I are hosting Christmas dinner this year, but I'm feeling very uncomfortable for the following reason. This past year, the relationship between my six siblings and mother has become very fractured for a number of reasons, but mostly because my mom and eldest sister create too much toxic drama. Some of the siblings are fed up, and don't want to come to Christmas unless I can 100 percent guarantee that my mom and sister won't be there. I seem to be the only one concerned that the young children are able to see each other, so I invited everyone; it's Christmas after all!

I did an evite so that everyone could see who's coming, but no one is responding. What should I do at this point? I've been preparing for 20 guests but at this point it might just be my husband and me. What should I do? — Disappointed Dede

Has Your Boyfriend Ever Stood Up For You?

DearSugar — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 11:00:00 -0800

I didn't think Spencer had it in him to swallow his pride, admit his wrongdoings, and put someone else first. But last night on The Hills, he proved me wrong! Though he didn't get very far in trying to get Heidi her job back, I was glad to see him go to her rescue.

I'm not an advocate of confrontation, but I think it'd be pretty hot to have a boyfriend stand up for me, whatever the situation. Has a boyfriend ever come to your aid when you needed rescuing?

Do Tell: What Would Be the Name of Your Show?

DearSugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 09:00:00 -0700

As I'm sure you might know, The Hills season four is premiering tonight, and you don't need to guess where I'll be at 10 p.m.! I know the characters didn't have much of a say in the naming of their show, but The Hills just doesn't seem appropriate anymore. Since their 30 minutes of air time is filled with a plethora of drama, don't you think they deserve a more theatrical title?

For the sake of having fun on a Monday morning, do tell, if there was a camera crew following your group of friends around, capturing every piece of your personal lives, what would the title of your show be?

Do Tell: Do You Consider Yourself to Be Dramatic?

DearSugar — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 11:00:00 -0700

Life is filled with ups and downs, but do you ever feel like certain people are just constantly surrounded by drama? They're either involved in unnecessary theatrics or they have continuous bad luck. And while I understand that a small dose of occasional drama can be somewhat entertaining, I'd rather avoid it if at all possible. Taking the fact that we all have our moments into consideration, tell me, do you commonly find yourself in the throws of all the excitement (yours or someone else's), or do you shy away from it all?

Dear Poll: Do You Talk About Your Personal Life At Work?

DearSugar — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:00:00 -0700

Since we spend most of our time at work, it's inevitable that our co-workers become more than that; they become our friends, our confidants, and our sounding boards. And since having gripes about our loved ones, dealing with family drama, or even financial woes is just a part of life, it's close to impossible to leave those worries at home. I've always been the type to wear my emotions on my sleeve — I'll confide in co-workers as I would friends and family — but I know many people who are opposed to mixing business with anything personal. If you think about it, it's a good idea to draw the line somewhere, but no one way is better; so tell me, do you talk about your personal life at work or do you keep the two completely separate?

Dear Poll: Do You Talk About Your Personal Life At Work?

Yes, I'm constantly talking about my private life at work, it's impossible not to!

No, I don't like to divulge too much about my personal life to my co-workers.
