Q: Depending on how involved the relationship is, you may need to make preparations for your departure, making certain to keep yourself as safe as possible. If you have only begun the relationship, you may be able to simply walk away, but abusive marriages can be much more complicated. Form a plan and put it into effect at the soonest possible moment. Don't wait for abuse to worsen before you act. If you are in a relationship that is starting to become abusive, it is not likely that your partner will be able to change. Abuse isn't caused by the victim doing something "wrong," it's caused by the abuser. If you are going to leave, you likely need to do it while your abuser is not home.  Plan and prepare to leave at a time when your abuser will be out of the house.  Give yourself plenty of time to gather your emergency bag, essential paperwork, and get away before you can be followed.  You do not have to leave a note or an explanation for why you are leaving.  It is okay to just leave. If you do not have access to your own transportation, make arrangements to have someone pick you up.  If you fear that you are in imminent danger, you can have the police pick you up and remove you from your home. If you have your important numbers in another place, consider leaving your cell phone behind when you go.  Cell phones can be set for tracking (convenient for locating a lost or stolen phone, but not for escaping an abuser).  Leaving it behind can help you leave behind your abuser. Consider getting a prepaid cell phone and having it packed in your emergency bag.  This could allow you to make important calls related to your escape and safety without potentially leading your abuser to you. A PPO is a court-backed document that allows you legal protection from a past abuser.  To file for a PPO, take any and all evidence of abuse you have as well as a letter describing the abusive situation and the relationship between you and your abuser to your local courthouse.  They should provide you with further instructions about how to fill out the appropriate paperwork to get a legal PPO.  After you file for your PPO, if it is approved, it will need to be legally served to your abuser, and you will need to file a proof of service with the court.  Talk to the clerk at the courthouse about how to do this. Once you have a PPO, keep it with you at all times.  If your abuser violates the terms of the PPO, you may need to show the PPO to the police. Abusive exes can be incredibly malicious and dangerous after you leave. To protect yourself, you'll want to eliminate ways for your ex to intrude on your life or sabotage you in any way.  In cases of severe violence, or if you fear for your life, you may need to relocate to a new place.  You can take steps to make your new location anonymous, such as applying to an address confidentiality program or using a P.O. Box for mail, changing all of your financial account information, and having an unlisted phone number.  If you live in your own house or apartment and have ended a relationship with someone who did not live with you, you should change your locks.  Even if you don't think your ex has a key, he may have made a copy of your keys without your knowledge. If you are getting out of or you have just left an abusive relationship, change all of your passwords. Your online passwords for banking, social media, email, and even work need to be changed as soon as possible. You should take this step even if you do not think that your abuser knows your passwords. You can't change how your ex will react to your departure. You can, however, limit contact with your abuser after you have left. As soon as you're able to, block your ex on all avenues of communication. Most modern communication devices have built-in blocking features, but you may have to contact your phone company directly to block your abuser from calling you. If your abuser finds ways to harass you, change your contact information. It can be inconvenient to change all of your contact information and to ensure that only your close friends and loved ones learn your new information, but it can help keep your abuser from getting in touch with you again. If you absolutely can't seem to rid yourself of your abuser, know that you have legal options at your disposal. Chief among these is the restraining order, as well as assault charges, given the proper evidence and circumstances. Speak with the authorities and a domestic violence counselor for more information. If you can demonstrate evidence of abuse in a court of law, you may still be able to win a restraining order against your abusive ex. If your abuser comes within a certain distance of you, this is a violation of the law.
A: End the relationship as soon as possible. Choose a safe window of time for leaving. Leave your cell phone behind. Get a Personal Protection Order (PPO). Change your locks and passwords. Keep your online information safe. Block the abuser on your phone, email, and social media. Consider filing formal charges.

Q: Always keep your overall aesthetic in mind when grooming your chest. If you wear a long, scruffy beard, a clean-shaven chest looks out of place. Similarly, shorter chest hair looks better on men with short or no facial hair. Look your best by keeping your hair in proportion. You can look in a mirror to gauge this. Get your hair styled first, then trim your chest hair to match it. Your head and body should look like they belong together. Also take into account the hair on your arms and legs. Having a swimmer’s bare chest with hairy arms and legs can look strange. Wear your chest hair a little longer to match those other spots. Think about how dark and thick the hair is on those spots before trimming your chest, and use a large mirror to check your work.  Of course, you can also trim your leg and arm hair using clippers. This usually isn’t done unless you have a lot of hair in those areas. Don’t forget to proportion your chest to your stomach, too. Groom your stomach while you take care of your chest. Keep the hair the same length. Consider your overall appearance before trimming your hair short. Hair covers your body, so removing it creates the illusion of extra space. To narrow or shorten your chest, keep the hair a little longer so it fills in more space. To make your chest look better, shave off the hairs on or touching your neck. This area is noticeable to most people looking at your face. Removing these hairs shows attention to detail and makes you appear more neatly groomed as a result. Slip on your favorite shirt and take a look in the mirror. If the fabric bunches up uncomfortably around your chest, that can be a sign to cut the hair shorter. Double-check that stray hairs stay wangled under the sleeves and collar. Target those areas and trim the hair as needed to appear neatly groomed. Put on a work shirt if you have one. Stay hairs can be a faux pas in a formal environment. Many guys get the idea that body hair is wrong. You don’t have to look like the cover of a romance novel. Unless you truly want to be hairless or need to do it to stay aerodynamic while swimming laps, reign in your expectations. The people around you aren’t grossed out by body hair the way you may think. Body hair is natural and looks natural. Avoid trying to be someone you’re not. What’s important is finding out what looks and feels right for you.
A:
Balance your chest hair with your facial hair. Match your chest hair with your other body hair. Trim your hair shorter to show more of your body. Separate your chest and neck by removing upper hairs. Put on a shirt to check your hair. Go hairless for sports and aesthetic reasons.
