Am I In the Right Relationship?

Dear Sugar,

My boyfriend and I have known each other for about 8 years now but just started dating about 3 months ago, we were school mates and haven't been in touch since we left school. He found me on Facebook and we started dating from there.

Interfaith Wedding Problems

Mr Sugar, my fiance and i have been arguing about our wedding plans. We are both of different religions and i have stated my wish to be married in a church to which is has refused. i told him even if we do a civil wedding, I would still like the pastors wedding to which he still adamantly refuses. I don't know what to do as this is causing a very big rift. Your response would be appreciated.

Why won't they be happy for me?

Dear Mr. Sugar, I'm happily engaged to be married in a few months, but my friends and family aren't happy with my choice to get married so soon, the feel that we barely know each other and can't possibly be ready to get married. We've dated for about 4 months, and we're both a 100% sure we want to be married to each other so what's the problem?

I hate my engagement ring!

Hi Mr. Sugar, my fiancé proposed recently, and I absolutely hate the ring. I know it sounds superficial, but if this is a ring I am supposed to be wearing for the rest of my life, shouldn't I at the very least LIKE the ring?

Hurt & Confused

Dear Mr. Sugar, I found out my boyfriend was in a long distance relationship with another lady while (they have been dating for much longer than we have) we were dating.

This Year? Next Year? Sometime in the Future..

Dear Mr. Sugar, My boyfriend and I (to my knowledge at least) want to get married to each other. We both are somewhat financially secure, so day to day living as a married couple shouldn't be much of a struggle. He says he wants to get married 'earliest next year December' mind you we had this conversation in March. I don't see what's going to change between now and December so I don't see why we should wait that long if nothing significant is changing between now and then and we both feel strongly about each other.

Mr and Mrs 'Head'

Hi Mr. Sugar, My boyfriend and I continually have this argument about who the 'head' of the family is. I don't think there's a 'head' per se; I feel that spouses should be partners who fulfill different roles in their relationship. With no one role being important than the next. Both parties should be able to go to each other for advice I don't like this idea of one person having the final say for the family. He on the other hand thinks this is all just 'feminist BS'. Are we heading for disaster?

Dear Mrs. Head,

'Groomzilla on my hands'

Dear Mr. Sugar,

I'm getting married in 6 months and my fiance is driving me crazy with his outlandish wedding plans. He wants to be involved in everything even down to picking my dress, he wants to wear a white suit 'shudder' he wants to pick colours, he wants to wants to pick vendors, long story short he has appointed himself the official wedding planner. I'm
