You do not need to be Kate Hudson driving advertising executive Benjamin Barry crazy in How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days to succeed at driving your partner away. Try these all time favorite relationship blunders for an almost guaranteed effect and if you want to keep your relationship? Well, you know what to do. Do absolutely none of the following.

1. Don't trust your mate. Trust your mate? Heck no! Lock her up and forbid any personal space. Check her cell phone for text messages from another imaginary man. Forbid him to have nights with the boys. Monitor his phone bill and snoop through his pockets. Drive past each other’s house to see if they are home or going out or worse see they have someone else’s car in the driveway!

2. Push the relationship too hard, too soon. Some people know the moment they meet that they are meant to be together. It does not matter if they see each other every day, it just feels right. However, most relationships don’t work this way. Most relationships take time to develop, to grow in strength, and for partners to feel comfortable with one another. Push this too fast by wanting to live together or seeking commitment before the time is right, and you might scare your mate away.

3. Take your partner for granted Collapse on her sofa and stick your dirty work boots on her freshly cleaned coffee table. Tell your best friend that he will move her out of her level 17 apartment without asking him first. Chuck your dirty washing in her washing machine and leave it there for 4 days. Adopt the what is mine is mine, what is yours is mine too motto. Try just being rude to one another to see how long the other person will take it on the chin.

4. Stop talking to each other Hey, just stop talking to each other (of course, yelling or launching into personal attacks is fine). Once communication is killed, the relationship becomes terminally ill. Unless the communication is given some rapid mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, you are a goner.

5. Downgrade the priority of the relationship Here is a sure fire way to get rid of an unwanted partner. Make her compete for your attention with your car or motorbike, your boat, your dog, your mother, your friends and finally your football team. Make him compete for your attention with your cat, mother, best friend in crisis, second best friend in crisis, hairdresser, personal trainer and guy who makes the coffee at the local Starbucks.

6. Ignore your personal hygiene Nostril hair? No problem provided it reaches your chin. Picking your nose in public? Did you pick a winner? Letting the wind escape because you think it is better out than in? Shower once a week to conserve water? Washing your hair once a month? Ignoring brushing your teeth altogether because you can replace them with dentures when they all fall out? Hey, who needs any pride in their appearance to feel good about themselves?

9. Make her do all the chores She is a woman, right? They are meant to do all the chores and you are meant to sit on the sofa with a beer, surfing through the cable TV channels to locate your favorite sport. In fact, why stop there when you can create even more housework for her just in case she manages to complete her tasks. No one wants to see a woman get bored around the house, do they?

10. Be cheap. Take him out and make him pay for everything. When it is your turn, take him somewhere cheap. Despite his lavish treatment of you, make him repay his loan of $10 because you don’t want to get your expenses running away on you do you? Invite yourself over to her house and drink all her wine and leave. Then do the same over and over again. Just make sure you turn up empty handed. Of course, relationship killers don’t stop here.
