How To Screw Up A Relationship

How to Screw Up a Relationship by Putting Others First
You didn’t mean to hurt your relationship.
You were just trying to be a good daughter. A good son. A good friend. A good employee. A good person.

But somewhere along the way, your partner stopped feeling like a priority.

In How to Screw Up a Relationship by Putting Others First, Mira Dev explores one of the most common yet rarely discussed reasons relationships slowly fall apart: constantly placing outside expectations above the emotional needs of your partner.

Whether it’s family pressure, endless obligations, work demands, social expectations, or the inability to say “no,” this book uncovers how people-pleasing quietly destroys intimacy, trust, attraction, and emotional connection.

Inside this honest and relatable book, you’ll discover:

• Why constantly prioritizing others damages romantic relationships
• The hidden resentment created by weak boundaries
• How emotional neglect happens without realizing it
• The difference between kindness and self-abandonment
• Why partners feel lonely even when the relationship “looks fine”
• The long-term effects of outside interference on love and marriage
• How to rebuild connection, respect, and emotional safety

This is not a book about blaming family, friends, or responsibilities.
It’s about recognizing when your relationship has stopped being protected.

Raw, practical, and emotionally insightful, How to Screw Up a Relationship by Putting Others First is for anyone who has struggled to balance love with outside expectations — and for anyone who wants to stop losing meaningful relationships while trying to keep everyone else happy.

Sometimes relationships don’t end because of lack of love.
They end because love was never given enough priority.
