On occasion, your boyfriend has mentioned that he’s really enjoyed anal sex in the past and would like to try it with you. You've always felt hesitant about the idea, and naturally brushed off his requests. Lately, however, you’ve started feeling as if he’s pressuring you into it.

I’ve found that pressure either makes people work 10 times harder, or it stresses them out to the point where they can’t do anything at all. In either case, substantial pressure can be overwhelming and hard to avoid.
To make matters worse, pressure has no boundaries; it can enter your personal life just as easily as your professional one, and often comes from the people closest to you.

Dear Sugar,
I have been with my boyfriend for two and a half years. We now live together and both work full-time jobs, do well financially, love to travel together, plan the future (marriage, home, kids) and according to our friends, we are a great couple. I'm 24 and he is 26 and we are happy, however I've been feeling more frustrated lately about certain things.

Dear Sugar,
I haven't had a relationship in over seven years and I am wondering what is wrong with me. It seems that
everyone around me is either engaged or setting a date to be married, and I don't even have a boyfriend! I have dated a few guys, but I'm always the one left wondering what went wrong.

Dear Sugar,
I have been with my boyfriend for four years, and we currently live together. In more ways than not, we're like a married couple, although we don't have a joint bank account. Everyone is pushing me to get married, but I don't want to!
