My Ex-pired Relationship

When a relationship dies, if moaning to anyone who will listen is not your style, or it was and there is simply no one left to moan to, visit Relationship Obituaries to lay out the facts about the recently deceased union. How was it born, cause of death, and who are the survivors?

Here is a taste:

LC and MB - known for their not-so-subtle differences in age, religion, race, regional accents and networth - died after drinking a toxic dose of sanity. They were 2 and a half years old. The relationship started with feelings of dreamy bliss - despite a horrible backdrop involving the suicide of a best friend. LC found MB's humor, touch, and eccentricity a great distraction, and they became close - quickly. The bliss eventually devolved into lies, boundary crossings, and a visit by the Watertown police. They met at an art auction, hosted by a good friend of LC's date. A shared interest in artificial intelligence led to the introduction of MB and LC's date, and of course, LC. LC will be remembered for the Christmas gift of all time and for being a needed Doubting Thomas in MB's life. MB will be remembered for his persistent optimism and genuine desire to do good in the world. LC & MB are survived by a stock options trial.
