When the fire from a hot and heavy relationship completely fizzles out, it can leave you feeling sad and sorry for yourself, especially if you were hoping that she was finally "The One." If you tend to fall back on tried and true methods that have worked for you in the past, like removing every trace of your ex from your apartment or picking up a hottie for a meaningless one night stand, try a new approach post breakup; write an obituary for your relationship.
When a loved one dies, writing an obituary gives some people a sense of closure and peace. This is what 38-year-old Kathleen Horan thought when she came up with the idea of launching Relationshipobit.com, a site that offers users a chance to get all their past relationship angst off their chest. Two weeks after a heartbreaking split from her boyfriend, Horan's father passed away, giving her even more to grieve about and leaving her with the task of writing his obituary. The obituary writing process gave her closure and helped with the grieving process, so she figured why not try doing the same thing for her failed relationship.
All you have to do to write an obituary on the site is create an account. Once you're signed up, you can begin turning your grief, anger, or even relief into an obituary that can be shared with others in cyberspace. Start with a headline, add in the relationship's cause of death and how long it lived; once that's done, you can go ahead and add in all the sordid details as to why the relationship came to an end. You don't have to have an account to enjoy the site. There are tons of entertaining obits on there to check out, and, if you sign up for an account, you can even leave authors comments on their relationships gone sour.
