A young Ukrainian couple, who were looking to break their destructive on-again off-again relationship cycle, made a bizarre decision on Valentine's Day to handcuff themselves together. Now, 123 days later, the cuffs have come off. Is there hope for them now that they are unshackled?

Ukrainian lovers Alexandr Kudlay and Viktoria Pustovitova shouted "hooray" and "I am finally free" as their handcuffs were severed with giant bolt cutters recently, putting an end to their bizarre experiment.
During the four months of being cuffed together the couple did everything together, including going to the bathroom and even accompanying each other to work.
