My BF and I always fight--should we work it out or break up?

I need help and fast. My boyfriend and I always fight, but we love each other a lot and don’t want to break up. What should I do to solve the problem? We fight over the dumbest things, but we always get over it. Is that good?


Dear Boyfriend Fighter,

It’s good that you always get over it—not good that you always fight. Try changing your tone of voice to break the pattern. If he wants to watch Inception on DVD but you’ve both already seen it a zillion times, say, “I know you like that movie, but what else is there?” That will go over way better than, “No way! I’m sick of that movie, and you never let me pick.” Instead of fighting like siblings who can’t stand each other, take a step back and ask yourself, “If this were our first date, what would I say?” Then say that. And, sorry, but I have to ask: Are you absolutely sure you two don’t want to break up? It takes two to make or break a relationship, and all the changing in the world on your part won’t make any difference if he’s not equally interested in getting along. The thought of ending it might seem scary but, then again, don’t you think there might be a more peaceful relationship out there for you—one with lots of talking and laughing, and not so much arguing and fighting?

My BGF is my best friend, but he creeps my other friends out. I'm not sure why, but he does. I tell them to give him a chance, but they always say "He's creepy! Why are you friends with him?"
HELP!




Hey girlie,

It's actually not weird at all to have more than one group of friends! There's never a guarantee that one bestie will totally love your other bestie, so don't stress too much about this. Just try to spend time separately with each group (devote some time to your BGF, and other time to your other friends) so you can keep up your friendships without causing any tension Smile You can't force people to like each other - but you like them, which is all that matters! <3

Hey girl,

This did work when you posted it before - it just takes our mods some time to answer because we get busy! Try to be patient and only post once! <3

Hi! I'm going to NYC really soon, and i was wondering what kind of clothes and other stuff I should pack. I'm going for ten days.
Thanks!




Hey girlie,

I live in NYC, so first off let me prepare you - it has been H-O-T this summer! Whew! Definitely pack some comfy denim shorts, tank tops, and tee shirts for walking around. Sunscreen and sunglasses are a must too! A pair of cute sneaks like Keds will be perf for walking in style, while long pajama pants and a tee shirt will be great for nighttime. Pack plenty of undies and the essentials like deodorant, a toothbrush, and lipgloss. And don't forget the fun stuff - a camera, a book or magazines, and a perfume or some fun jewelry to make you feel fab!
