Q: Sometimes a partner can have a difficult time accepting that a relationship is slowing down. As a result, his or her dissatisfaction with your decision causes them to exhibit less than acceptable behavior, such as pressuring you to move things forward more quickly. When this behavior becomes more than you are comfortable dealing with, it might be best to end the relationship. If this happens, tell your partner, "I know my decision to slow things down has been hard for you. I was hoping that you would give me the time that I needed, but unfortunately you can't. I think it's best that we end things." If your decision to slow things down in your relationship has left you feeling like the two of you can't possibly move forward, then it's time to end it. If the excitement and energy in your relationship is gone now, there's a good chance that it won't return. The sooner you can end a relationship that is head in the wrong direction, the quicker the two of you can move on. You have to remain true to yourself. Accept that it's okay to slow things down. Don't allow the other person to prematurely convince you to speed things up before you're ready. It is unhealthy to second-guess yourself when it goes against your sound reasoning and judgement.
A: Avoid never-ending irritation and frustration. Recognize when you've reached a dead end. Don't second-guess yourself.

Q: While weeping willows can help wet spots in your yard, planting in standing water is not advised. Willows need dry soil from time to time, so planting in an area with good drainage and that has loose soil will allow air and water to get through. You can test your soil for good drainage before you plant. Dig a hole that is 1ft (0.30m) square. Fill the hole with water and then let it drain completely. Once it drains, refill it again, and use a ruler to measure the water's depth. Measure again after 15 minutes to see how much water has drained, and then multiple that amount by 4 to see how much water would drain in 1 hour. If the hole drains at a rate of 1in (2.5cm) to 6in (15cm) per hour, you have good draining soil. Weeping willows need at least partial sun, which means at least 2 to 4 hours of sun per day. They can also grow in up to full sun, meaning 6 to 8 hours of sun per day. Weeping willow roots can extend up to 30ft (9.1m) to 45ft (14m). The roots can get into some sewers and interrupt lines, so you should plant your willow at least 50ft (15m) away from any underground utilities, like sewers or underground power lines. You should also make sure the roots, which grow pretty close to the surface, won't extend under a patio or any sidewalk. Keep in mind that your neighbors might have underground utilities on their property. When you're choosing your place for planting, don't threaten their utilities, either. Willows like lots of water. If you plant one near a body of fresh water, like a pond or lake, the tree can get a lot of its own water. Keep in mind that the roots of the willow can grow up to 45ft (14m) out from the base of the tree. You should plant the tree so that the roots will be able to extend fully before reaching the water.
A: Select an area with good drainage. Make sure the area will get at least partial sun. Plant away from sewers or power lines. Choose an area next to fresh water if possible.

Q: If a teacher saw you looking at an answer key in the middle of an exam, you aren't going to be able to convince anyone that you weren't cheating. However, if your teacher simply has a hunch that you cheated, you may be able to successfully deny the allegations. The repercussions of cheating can be intense, such as losing financial aid, getting suspended, getting expelled, and more. Unless you were caught red-handed, you may be able to convince your teacher that you're innocent. If you aren't exactly sure what evidence your teacher has against you, plan on denying. If they didn't catch you in the moment, they may only have a suspicion. If you believe you can get away with it, go for it. The most important thing to do is to act surprised that they're questioning you in the first place. Imagine if you worked hard and completed an exam or a paper without cheating wouldn't you be shocked if you were accused of cheating? Channel that reaction. If your teacher accuses you of plagiarizing, simply tell them that you used the source in question for research. After reading the information and going directly to your paper to write it, you may have unintentionally phrased things similarly. If your score was uncharacteristically high on a test, just tell your teacher that you studied intently for it, as opposed to other times. Each accusation will be different, but unless you have a great excuse, keep it simple. Repeat that you studied hard, you did your best, and you're upset that you're being blamed. Keep it simple. If you are going to deny cheating, you don't need to come up with a winding, elaborate lie. Continuously repeat that you did not cheat, you are not a cheater, and you are saddened by the accusation. Do not tell different people different stories, and do not confess to a friend or sibling, no matter how trustworthy you think you are. Maintain one solid story, and don't budge.
A:
Evaluate the evidence against you. Tell authorities you did not cheat. Stick to one story.
