How to Break up with a Boyfriend

In some cases you should take care, exercise caution when breaking up with a boyfriend.

Most of the time it can be uncomfortable and a little stressful, but there is no apparent danger.


Easy breakup: 


  1. Do you mind if we take a break?

  2. I’m going through some personal issues right now.

  3. Nothing serious but I need some time to work them out.


In rare cases a boyfriend may be irreversibly attached to you. If this is the case, you will very likely know.

Some of the signs include things he may express to you during the relationship. If he repeatedly says things like

“I can’t live without you,” I can not imagine my life without you,” I would die without you,” and he says

this often, this could be a signal for a very stressful breakup if it came to such.


If a boyfriend says any of the above things only very occasionally, them it’s likely just him using

common phrases and he does not literally mean that he would die without you. If it’s true,

unbreakable love on the part of both of you, there may not be a need for concern. But if you are

young and undecided and just feeling your way around the boyfriend/girlfriend world of dating,

there could be cause for some concern.


A true break-up would mean no pressure for the ex-boyfriend. Gentle nudges towards you such as a phone call or text may not be a flag. An ex-boyfriend who shows up unannounced, who expresses that he cannot or does not want to give you up, could be a red flag and you should not escalate the situation by arguing.


At this point it might be a good idea to consult with someone who you feel will not act aggressively on your part.


You probably should not ignore a series of red flags from the ex-boyfriend, especially if it seems clear he is not giving up.


If he says things like "I can't live without you," or "You are my life, there can never be any one else," these could be signs of future escalations. If at any time you actually have thoughts that your life could be in danger, you should seek professional assistance. If it escalates to police involvement and a restraining order, you should seriously review your possible vulnerability and this could mean major changes to your life and lifestyle. In some cases these changes are the better solution than what could erupt from the perpetrator.


Please follow advice from anyone at your own risk.

How to Put on Perfume or Cologne

 There is almost nothing sadder than when someone spends $100.00 on a bottle of smell-good, only to ruin it by putting on too much. People around are robbed of the opportunity to appreciate your investment, to catch a slight, aromatic whiff of your bottled scent as you pass them in the supermarket or in a fancy restaurant, work, everywhere you go.  And if you continue to take a bath in your perfume or cologne you have for all intents and purposes wasted your $100.00, because no one can appreciate the overwhelming scent you carry, and you would be better appreciated with no perfume or cologne on at all.  Sometimes the scent of perfume or cologne is so overwhelming it immediately invades the nostrils of others, causing some to actually feel sick or get a headache.  The best way to apply perfume or cologne to your body is not to directly apply it at all. To apply perfume or cologne place yourself in a room with high ceilings if possible. If not possible still use this p...

How to Create a Natural Privacy Fence by Growing Bamboo

 Bamboo, one of the fastest growing plants in the world is misunderstood by many people when it comes to gardening. The main reason for this is because some people do not have enough knowledge about bamboo and the 1,000 species of the plant. You can successfully grow bamboo in your yard with only a little extra knowledge about the plant and caring for it. You can create a natural fence of bamboo along perimeters of your yard by doing the following: 1. Plant a version called "clumping." There are numerous clumping versions of bamboo. Just make sure you have purchased a clumping version because it forms a root ball, and the roots should not spread like evasive varieties of the plant. 2. Decide the approximate height you are seeking for your privacy fence. This is because you can control the height of the bamboo early on. If you wait too long, it may take lift equipment to reach the top of the bamboo. You can also control the depth of the bamboo on a regular basis, for example i...

How to Make Vanilla Bourbon Chicken

                                                           Photo: Herbscapes.com Yesterday a neighbor gave me a small jar of Madagascar Bourbon vanilla she has been curing for about six months. The vanilla beans stood in a brown liquid of vanilla and bourbon. For some reason I immediately thought of chicken. I will definitely infuse this liquid gold into some dessert creations, but I happened to have three chicken filets in the fridge ready to make their culinary debut. I rinsed the filets under cold water and placed in a plastic bag. It occurred to me that if I poured too much of the vanilla bourbon into the bag, it would be absorbed by the filets and overtake the flavor, knocking out the fresh German thyme I planned to top on the cooked meal. In plain English: it would be too strong. I carefully dripped about an eighth of a teaspoon into...
