"I Hate When My Boyfriend Hugs Other Women"


Updated 04/08/12 3:10 AM · Posted by Tres Community · 3 comments

This week's confession comes from our anonymous Confession Booth group in the TrèsSugar Community. Weigh in with your advice below.

If you're with a guy and he hugs other women in front of you, would it offend you? I never complain when my guy does it, but there's just a bad feeling that I get when it happens and I can't help it. To me, hugging someone is a compassionate gesture, and when he shares it with another woman, I feel uneasy.

I try to be understanding because I hug my guy friends, but when I do, it isn't a full hug — it's like a half hug. If I sound jealous, I have a right to be. I don't want another female touching my man, period. That might sound crazy, but it's coming from a territorial perspective.

There's lots of cool stuff going on in our community — join it, check it out, share your posts or advice in the great groups, and maybe we'll feature it here on TrèsSugar!

Cast Your Vote For Political Barbies Over the Years


Updated 04/07/12 2:45 PM · Posted by · 0 comments

There's a new presidential candidate for the 2012 elections, and she's made of plastic. For the fifth time, Barbie is running for president! Mattel has just announced its "I Can Be . . . President Barbie," who dons wedges and a pink power suit designed by CFDA winner Chris Benz (who's also dressed Michelle Obama). The doll was created in partnership with nonprofit The White House Project, an organization that supports women in politics. And even though this isn't Barbie's first campaign, this year's doll is breaking new ground — as she'll be the very first Barbie in the company's 53-year history to stand upright on her own two feet! There have been several political Barbies over the years, beginning with an ambassador for world peace doll in 1986. Check some of them out plus a collector's doll of our first lady!

"Have You Ever Felt Like You Need a Friend More Than They Need You?"


Updated 04/07/12 3:10 AM · Posted by Tres Community · 3 comments

This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments!

If anyone were to ask me who my good friends are, this girl would top the list — only I know that if she were asked the same question, I'd be sixth or seventh. I think it's because she tends to keep more people around her, while I tend to prefer smaller groups. It's always been an underlying factor in our friendship, and when I tried to tell her about it once, she seemed to avoid the subject.

Maybe it's my own insecurity, but she recently found a job that she really likes and it seems like she only hangs out with her co-workers now. I could tag along, but whenever I do, hardly anyone talks to me. It's not only her work friends, either — it's her friends from home, too. I feel like I'm up against her home friends and her work friends, so I'm frustrated. We've had fun both with and without other people, but I've always secretly known that our friendship means more to me than it does to her. Lately I've found that I'm avoiding her on purpose because I feel like we've been drifting apart anyway. She graduates and leaves for home in a matter of months, so the entire friendship seems sort of moot, but I still care about her. What should I do, if anything?
