If this couple eventually does break up, at least they can say they tried everything . . . and I really mean EVERYTHING . . . to make things work.
The couple is from Ukraine. 28-year-old beautician named Viktoria Pustovitova and 33-year-old car salesman named Alexandr Kudlay.
They were constantly fighting and kept breaking up and getting back together, so they came up with a plan to try to fix things. On Valentine's Day, they HANDCUFFED themselves together . . . and they're staying that way for three months.
So far, Alexandr says, quote, "Fights between us did not disappear, we still fight. But when we approach a dead end . . . we simply stop talking instead of packing up our things and walking away." So I guess it's helping them? Sort of?
One more thing: To answer the first question that popped into your head, when one is on the toilet, the other one sits outside with their hand in the bathroom.
What’s funny is this reminds of the term “coyote ugly” where a guy has to gnaw off his arm to avoid waking his sleeping date from that evening who’s snuggling with him. I must add what my dad calls "double coyote ugly" where the guy gnaws off his other arm because he knows she'll be looking for a one-armed man.
