With humorous advice on ending the colossal waste of time that relationships fundamentally are, How to Ruin Your Love Life will have readers laughing out loud but also reflecting seriously on their relationships and what they can do to improve them.

To make destroying relationships effortless, How to Ruin Your Love Life is conveniently organized in 35 easy-to-follow steps. Section titles include "Always Remember That You Come First in Every Relationship," "Bear in Mind That Your Lover's Feelings Don't Matter," "Demand Expensive Gifts from Your Lover," and "Always Compare Your Lover Adversely with Your Previous Lovers." The most important advice on ruining, not only your love life, but your entire life too, appears in the essay entitled "No Matter How Many Problems Your Lover Has, Marry Him or Her Anyway-Marriage Always Solves a Lover's Personality Problems."
