A good love relationship isn’t really that important. In fact, it uses up a lot of time you could spend thinking about yourself . . . and doing things all alone or with your drunken, loser friends. That’s why Ben Stein has written How to Ruin Your Love Life. Following up on the wild success of his pioneering "do-the-opposite-of-what-I-say" self-help book, How to Ruin Your Life, he now brings you, in 44 easy-to-follow-steps, ways to definitively and absolutely . . . ruin your love life. The essays in this bitingly humorous book include such master strokes "Talk about Yourself Exclusively," "Make Fun of Your Lover’s Family," "Demand Expensive Gifts from Your Lover," and "Compare Your Lover with Lovers You’ve Dated in the Past." And then there’s the most important one of "If You’re Dating Someone Who Has a Lot of Problems, Is Generally a Mess, and All of Your Friends Dislike Him or Her, Get Married Anyway – Marriage Will Solve All of Your Problems." This work will not only make you laugh out loud, it will allow you to honestly assess how many of these relationship-killers you (and your lover) are currently engaging in. Learn from this book, and for heaven’s sake, do the opposite right now!
