Try some high-tech healing at the two-day-old Relationshipobit.com.

The Associated Press reports:
Relationshipobit.com is the brainchild of Kathleen Horan, a 38-year-old reporter for WNYC public radio. She recalled that after a two-year relationship fizzled she found it “oddly comforting” to write her father’s obituary. It made her think that if she wrote an obituary for her relationship, it might help her.

“It made it feel real so I could finally cremate the thing and move on,” she said.

She said the response to the Web site was much bigger than she expected.

In a video entry on the site, a woman describes how her relationship ended when she caught her boyfriend cheating at Monopoly.

“My philosophy is, if you’re going to cheat in Monopoly so blatantly, what hope do we have really?” she wrote.
