Boy, Bye: You Just Got Cut

By Valerie C. Boyce

Boy, Bye: You Just Got Cut is designed to help women get out of toxic relationships. With her personal online dating encounters, list of relationship RED FLAGS, and deal- breaker list, Boyce leaves you rope-cutting thoughts that will continue to provoke your paradigm throughout the entire book and talk you off the cliff because of a man who doesn’t deserve you anyway. This book of emotions is the ideal book for women who have found themselves stuck in relationships that are unhealthy.

You will learn early to cut relationships that are toxic and that leave you feeling undervalued and unappreciated, because the power is in your hands. This book will empower you to make changes earlier rather than later. Maybe you have put years into a relationship that became toxic over time. Maybe you did not cut the relationship because you fear being on your own, or because you love him no matter how much he abuses you, or you simply believe you are too old to find another man. Whatever your reason for remaining in a toxic relationship, remember that you only have one life to live so you should make it your best life ever. Reading this book will be revolutionary, and will awaken you to good and bad relationships. Grab your pen, your paper (or journal), and some tissue because reading this book will cause you to reflect on where you are and inspire you to make some life-changing decisions.

Valerie C. Boyce

I have been writing since 1983 with my beginnings in poetry and plays. In 2010 I wrote my first book, Free to Be Strong and Victorious. I have since written two more books: Free to Speak Life: Faith Confessions and The Drama-Free Workplace. My love for English, spelling bees and writing was my passion as a young child however I had no idea I would author books. I have been working in human resources for 10+ years and plan to focus my writing on this area of business. My goal is to continue to write non-fiction and restore confidence in all readers taking them on a journey with me as I unveil those areas that cause many of us stress and anxiety, that we indeed control.

Why I Wrote This Book

I wrote this book to help you identify what a toxic relationship is and how to know when it is time to cut it. Why are you tolerating bad behavior? I was in a number of relationships that I wish I’d had the strength to cut before they became toxic. I was miserable because I ignored red flags. I kept enabling men I thought were the one and I failed to set boundaries. Some of the relationships I was in were verbally and emotionally abusive and left a once-confident woman broken and experiencing low self-esteem.

I will share my experiences and help you cut men loose who are not good for you. I know you may feel you are good for him; but if you are not good for each other, the scale will always be unbalanced.

Later in this book I will outline the traits of a healthy relationship and the traits of a toxic relationship. I wrote this book so you can ask yourself questions like: Is he adding any value to me? Does he care about me or what he can get from me? Is our relationship based upon love or lust?

My goal in writing this book is to help you identify some red flags, share my experiences with online dating, help you stop acting desperate for a relationship, and so much more. As I often tell my family that I believe will be important to share, To every decision (good or bad), there is a consequence (good or bad). In this book you will receive some valuable tools to help you say, Boy, Bye: You Just Got Cut and make the decisions that will result in good
