Couple handcuffed together for 123 days immediately break up

[DiipuSurotu]

After being handcuffed together for a staggering 123 days — using the bathroom in front of one another and taking turns showering mere inches apart — troubled Ukrainian lovers Alexandr Kudlay and Viktoria Pustovitova have taken their shackles off and are moving on from one another.

Pustovitova, an eyelash technician from the eastern city of Kharkiv, proposed that she and Kudlay, a car salesman, handcuff themselves together on Valentine's Day as a last-ditch effort to save their rocky romance.

"I decided it will be an interesting experience for me," Pustovitova told Reuters at the onset of her and Kudlay's love lockdown in February.

In addition to taking care of their personal hygiene in front of each another, Pustovitova and Kudlay went grocery shopping together, took side-by-side cigarette breaks and even accompanied one another to work.

But Pustovitova ultimately had to quit her job as a beautician because clients weren't comfortable with Kudlay standing over them as she manicured their eyelashes.

A handcuff cutting ceremony, supervised by Ukrainian records chief Vitaly Zorin, was held in front of the country's Unity monument in Kyiv, and broadcast on national television.

Zorin, according to the Mirror, plans to introduce himself to the newly single Pustovitova.

Pustovitova and Kudlay are now leading separate lives in distant regions of Ukraine.

However, they plan to jointly sell the handcuffs in an online auction and donate part of the money to charity, per Reuters.

Lock if old

 

[j7vikes]

Damn. I really figured that would work. Oh well hopefully some other couples will try.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

taking turns showering? doomed from the start.

 

[Trouble]

Pretty sure handcuffing the happiest couple on earth for 123 days ends the same way.

[Wrexis]

I kind of respect them for trying it.

 

[Marcus Aurelius]

Not surprising in the slightest. Humans need their own space one in awhile, even apart from the people they love.

[GulAtiCa]

Was coming into this article thinking they did this for some kind of competition or money reward... Does not seem worth it..

 

[LGHT_TRSN]

Ah yes, what better way to save a failing relationship than physically restraining them together 24/7.

Big brain energy here...they should have made a post here before going with that idea

 

[El_TigroX]

By the headline, I figured this was some type of radio show promotion, or a contest or something! Doing this willingly without a time-based payoff? GTFO.

Yep. If you're not willing to shower together when handcuffed, you're not willing to work things out.

[C.Mongler]

Oh they did this as an attempt to save their already shitty relationship?


Yeah no shit that didn't work.

 

[Slayven]

I assume this would be the case for almost anybody. Even in the most solid relationship you want time to yourself.

Everything about this seems suspicious.

Are we sure this isn't just a setup or a troll or something? None of it makes sense logically.

 

[Lari]

Oh the straights.

 

[Deleted member 13798]

Their romance was already rocky…this was dead in the water beforehand. Seems more like publicity.

Zorin wasting no time.

In an industry that includes an anal bleaching technician, her job is pretty mundane.

Lmao, imagine being a customer there. Like wtf is this?

She cut his hair with her one free hand, didn't she?

So they both to sleep on their backs for 3 months? How dreadful.

 

[Walter White Walker]

I wouldn't have lasted a day. But I think they're not telling the truth about this stunt.

Imagine quitting your job because of something as stupid as this
