How to Lose Your Guy In 8 Simple Steps (4 of 5)

6. Constantly to Communicate With Him in Sarcasmese

There’s nothing quite like a, “Yeah, sure” or “Boy, if only the world was populated with more dullards like you.” The more sarcastic, the better. Turn it into a ridiculous game where you can never be sincere or real with him about anything. He’ll start to realize that a lot of things have changed in the relationship, and not the helpful kind of change.

7. Put Him Down… Especially In Front Of Others

Pointing out his inadequacies behind closed doors is a highly effective way to take his esteem down a peg or three. However, if you really want him to run for the hills, make sure to insult him in the company of mutual friends or even random strangers. When he accidentally knocks over a glass of water at a restaurant, ask the waiter to bring your big, klutzy baby a bib. When he makes a minor grammar mistake, it’s a good time to remind everybody that he rode the short bus back in elementary school.
