A Ukrainian couple has handcuffed themselves to each other for three months in an attempt to save their on and off relationship. The couple’s rather bizarre experiment is now gaining attention on social media.

Tired of their frequent break-ups, Alexandr Kudlay 33 and Viktoria Pustovitova, 28 decided to handcuff themselves together on Valentine’s Day and started documenting their experience on social media.

From freshening up in the morning and grocery shopping to surfing the web together, the couple has been doing it all together for a month now, without having any personal space.

Though the couple admits that tension still persists between them, they say they have found a positive and productive way to sort through their issues.

“Fights between us did not disappear, we still fight,” Kudlay told Reuters. “But when we approach a dead end and there is no understanding between us, we simply stop talking instead of packing up our things and walking away.”
