In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If the relationship is not worth saving, you will be able to see that when both of you are calm. Additionally, breaking up out of anger can make it very difficult to find closure. Make sure you're feeling rational and have taken some time to really think about it before you have "the talk." Agree to not see each other for a week or two, and be sure to clarify that you are still together and your relationship will remain exclusive during this time. Don't spend time together, don't talk on the phone, don't send each other messages. This trial separation might help you see how much you value the relationship...or don't. If it's difficult at first, but if you find yourself at peace without this person in your life, breaking up is probably a good idea. If you enjoy the first few days but then find yourself missing this person and feeling like your life is incomplete without them, you should probably try to repair the relationship. See more details in How to Give Each Other Space. If you've taken the time to think about whether or not you should end the relationship, then you can see if the signs of a good relationship apply to you, too. Here are some signs that you should fight to stay with the person you're with, even if it means that you have to take some drastic changes:  There is a core foundation of similar values and beliefs that you share, especially spiritual and moral values. You still trust each other; you know your partner is on your side and have faith they will work with you for the greater good of your household. Hard times have taken over suddenly without giving you time to find your center. Health problems, trauma, financial problems, addiction regressions and depression can come on in an instant and make things look really dark. Give it time, let the smoke clear, and try to be a friend to each other until it's over. You are caught in a negative response cycle where negative behavior triggers more negative behavior. Break the cycle by gaining control of your own negative reactions, call for a peace treaty, and give your partner time to get a handle on their negativity. You have a tendency to run from commitment at the first sign of trouble. Take some time to cool down and work to become friends again. Commit to friendship, remember what you used to like about your partner, and act like you care. It's good for you to see if you can stick through the problems for once, no matter how it ends up. You have drifted apart slowly and suddenly discover you are living with a stranger. This generally happens due to neglect, so work on it - talk, listen, spend time together and see if you can rediscover love.
Summary: Never break up in the heat of the moment. Try spending time apart if you need some time to think about it more. See if your relationship is worth saving after all.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Hydrangeas produce a sap that makes it hard for them to absorb water. This means that cut flowers, if left untreated, will quickly wilt. You can solve this issue by boiling away the sap. You only need enough water to cover the ends of the flowers. You can leave the boiling water in the pot while you dip the stems. Use a timer to make sure that you don’t leave them in the water too long, which could damage the ends.  Put just the bottom .5 in (1.27 cm) of the ends into the water. If you think you damaged the ends, you can cut above the damaged part and try again. The stems should immediately go into the cool water to stop the heat from continuing to affect the ends of the stems. Once they’re in the vase, you can arrange the cut flowers until you like the look. As an alternative, you can dip the freshly cut ends of the stems of your flowers into the spice alum, which helps prevent the sap from clogging the stem. Cut off the tips of the stems, then dip the ends into the spice. You can then arrange the flowers as you normally would. Fresh water will keep your flowers looking nice longer. If you leave the old water, bacteria will be able to grow, causing your flowers to wilt sooner.
Summary:
Boil a pot of water. Dip the ends of the stems in the hot water for 30 seconds. Plunge them into the cool water in the vase. Try alum to keep your flowers from wilting. Replace your water every other day.
