Dear Sugar,
I've been dating my boyfriend for almost a year and we've been friends for three years before that. We're very much in love and plan on getting married and having kids. About four years ago I found out that I have HPV which developed into genital warts — I've since had treatment and the warts are gone.

A friend you used to be really close to throughout high school and college recently reconnected with you after you'd both lost touch. You have nothing against this friend, but most of what made you friends in the first place doesn’t really exist anymore.
You have little in common, but she still pushes your friendship.

Feeling guilty about ditching your workout today? Give yourself a break!
In fact,
recent research has found that the guilt many women feel over missing a workout can lead to disordered eating and/or a reduced quality of life.

Whether you are a working mother or stay-at-home mom, sometimes there aren't enough hours in the day to bake cupcakes for preschool, read bedtime stories, run the soccer field cheering for your favorite lil player, and have intriguing conversation over a healthy dinner. At times, mamas have to let something go or take some time for themselves.
Do you feel bad when you let something slip or take a mommy trip?

I've been close with my best friend for nearly eight years. We were roommates in our freshman year of college, and have been practically inseparable ever since. About a year ago she started dating a guy whom we met through a friend of mine.

Dear Sugar,
For some time now, my instincts have been telling me to break up with my boyfriend of one year. For the most part I've been happy, but a couple of months ago it seemed like something changed. And while I'm not sure if he's become different, or if I'm just not willing to tolerate certain things anymore — he can be very harsh and unkind — I know that something in my gut is telling me it's time to get away.

My girlfriend and I are both 24 years old and have been together for nearly four years. Two years ago we were in a terrible car accident together. I was driving at the time, when an oncoming car swerved across our lane.

Last weekend I was in my best friend's
wedding. As her maid of honor, I took her wedding dress home with me for safe-keeping while she and her husband left from the reception straight to the airport for their
honeymoon. The next night, feeling slightly down and a little goofy, I got the silly idea to try on her wedding dress.

You’ve been avoiding
breaking up with your boyfriend for the past month. You care about him deeply, and you don’t want to see him hurt, but you’re simply no longer in love with him. It's taken months, but you’ve finally come to your senses and realized that avoiding the inevitable will only make things worse in the long run.

Dear Sugar,
I'm a bridesmaid this Summer in the wedding of one of my closest friends. She comes from a a very traditional Southern family, and she is having a ton of parties to celebrate her upcoming nuptials. Since I'm in her wedding party, I'm invited to all of them.
