10 Ways To Destroy Your Relationship

When love is new and fresh... it's so exciting that we often overlook problems or flaws in the other person.

But give it a year or two and familiarity breeds contempt. If you're with someone all the time, you can't help but get annoyed with each other from time to time. It's easy to start saying and doing things that we shouldn't.

Holly Jean's Top 10 Ways to Destroy a Relationship

10. Use Your Bionic Memory During Arguments
Instead of using your bionic memory to remember birthdays and anniversaries... use it during arguments instead.

Everytime your partner brings up something you did wrong, instead of apologising, counter it by rehashing your version of something they did wrong a few months, or even years ago.

9. Rub It In

Whenever you're right and they are wrong, rub their nose in it, repeatedly.

8. Stay Exactly The Same

Even as you grow older and your relationship develops, just stay stagnant. Claim that you’re allowed to go drinking every night because that’s what you did when the two of you started dating. You don't have to grow up, ever.

7. Tell Them To Calm Down

Whenever they are upset about something, tell them to calm down. This will trivialise the issue that was big enough to upset them.

6. Criticise The Sex

Forget about positive reinforcement or subtlety. Just shout " Damn it! Your fat elbow is digging into my ribs all the time!"

.

5. Compare Your Partner

Compare your partner with your ex Gf, or your mother, your best friend's wife, your next door neighbour... anyone at all... just to make them feel inadequate, or second best, especially in the eyes of the one they love.

4. Use Logic Sparingly

When in an argument, (especially when you are in the wrong) don't use logic. Save it for more useful things, like... shopping.

3. Be Smart

Maintain that you know your partner's motives better than he or she does.

2. Let Things Brew
When something upsets you, do express any displeasure or hurt, but only let it out when it reaches the point of absolute seething anger.

1. Neglect

Have other priorities in your life, and demand that your partner be understanding and blind to the fact that the grass is greener on the other side.
