R.I.P: Your Relationship

Posted on February 12, 2008 Under Life

With February 14th fast approaching and Hallmark preparing to reap the benefits, a good number of us have begun to ponder loves’ labors lost. While our coupled friends prepare the perfect evening complete with a romantic dinner and fireside lovemaking session, some of us will sit at home gorging on candy hearts [see also: hard alcohol] remembering when our soulmate made us a mix to remind us just how much they cared. Rather than sit around and wonder what went wrong, we think it's time you put that sweetheart to bed; thanks to Relationship Obituaries, you can finally let that coupleship that just plain ain't coming back, rest in peace. The site, the brainchild of Kathleen Horan, who thought of the idea after breaking up with her boyfriend and losing her father in a brief time span, allows users to list the harrowing details from their hairy relationships and breakups so they can finally cleanse their souls and start to put together the pieces of their broken yet resilient hearts. To officially launch the site, Horan is throwing a Wake for Love at the Brecht Forum in the Manhattan's West Village on February 13th. Bring a date!
