Woman who has been chained to her partner

I hope her friends and family get her out of this relationship. Can you imagine going to the toilet like that ? It’s degrading

@JackieWeaverIsTheAuthority yes, you were saying how you invited friends round before you left. That's not an option for all abused women, it's common to isolate them from friends and family.

Unless they lied to the experimenter. Oh, but he had to assure their mental health prior to chaining them up, so he must be an expert! Mustn't he?

Not all women in an abusive relationship are allowed to have friends let alone to have friends come round to the house.
It's good that you were but that is not the case for everybody.

Youd think if it was an official experiment they would have picked a 'happy' couple. Not one where one partner keeps leaving. Unless they lied to the experimenter. Or the experimenter is actually running a different kind of experiment as to what they think. Like how long itll take for her to decide to saw her own arm off to escape him.

This is utterly grim

Ludicrous!

I really have no words.

Of course it is only her arm that has a fucking ulcer. She isn't the one jerking him around to wherever it is she wants to go!

But it is an experiment, from other articles on it, they are going 'for a record'

Vitaly Zorin, of Ukraine's national register of records, who supervised the experiment said: "The palms of the couple in love are just a couple of centimetres apart."
Zorin also had to verify the pair's mental health before starting their close encounter challenge, before they were chained together near the Unity sculpture in Kyiv, Ukraine.

However there is still a long way to go ( as there is everywhere, including the UK)

Completely. I think I would trust a medical professional in the UK to not allow me to leave with him if asked. Would that happen in many other countries? I don't know.

As part of my job I've had to insist on seeing women alone for conversations. I think I'd 'visit the loo' and call the police for advice in this case.

Russia is dreadful and I suppose Ukraine isn't far behind
There have been big positve changes in Ukraine law towards domestic violence (gender based violence) last year. They are making a great effort to tackle the issue. However there is still a long way to go ( as there is everywhere, including the UK) Unfortunately the women in the east around Donbass ( where the war is still ongoing) are not protected enough.

Its awful whatever way you look at it. The fact that in 2021 a man feels that he can put this on social media and nobody do anything about it. It is abusive behavikur and no normal parent would want their daughter to be living like this

My guess is that it's a sick spoof.

So they can only be separated by someone with special equipment to cut the chain. So she's stuck with him 24/7 and if she decides she doesnt want to do it anymore, he would let her ring for help would he? or would he stop her given that he's literally attached to her

"The couple's first test was a 325 mile drive home from the capital city in a taxi. They had to choose whether to jointly use the male or female toilets at a roadside cafe. They selected the women's toilet, providing a shock to a cleaner, as they began their lives with no personal space"

This is awful. I was also going to say that she looks like a dummy, a live doll in the photo in the car. She looks anything but relaxed. He’s holding a baton behind her head whilst she’s reading her phone, isn’t he?

Awful. Any partner who let's their partner sustain injuries like this is clearly abusive. Welded together is just horrific.

Sounds like a publicity stunt to me

Those ulcers are quite some stunt that's for sure.

🙄

Sounds like a publicity stunt to me.
