After going through a stormy period in their relationship, the two wanted to preserve their relationship by handcuffing each other.
Alexandr came up with the idea after Viktoria said she wanted to break up. Viktoria initially resisted the idea but later changed her mind.
It has been a month since Valentine’s Day, and the two of them still have no personal space, as they do everything together from buying groceries to drinking coffee, even going to the toilet or taking a shower. The two of them “strive” to maintain this handcuffing for another 2 months.
Alexandr said that with each passing day, the two of them got more and more used to this situation. Viktoria said that this was an interesting experience. The two of them coordinated very well in their activities.
The couple shared their photos on Instagram. They also appeared on a Ukrainian TV talk show.
Alexandr and Viktoria admit that there are still certain tensions that arise between them, but they know how to handle those conflicts, through dialogue instead of walking away.
The public had mixed reactions to the couple, from praise, skepticism, to simply curiosity.
One of the most asked questions is how the couple goes to the bathroom. The answer is: When one person goes to the bathroom, the other person has to wait outside, with one hand still in the bathroom./.
