better off alone?

Happy hump day, everybody.

Not exactly enjoying marital bliss? Try visiting a shrine in Kyoto (Japan's capital), where visitors crawl into a wish tunnel, pray and make offerings -- all designed to make ditching a partner easier. Read the whole story here.

It says the 800-year-old Yasui Konpiragu Shrine, which yearly gets about 40,000 visitors from all over the globe, caters to guests trying to ditch a lousy partner. Above 70 percent of guests are women, a priest at the shrine says.

Laugh as much as you like, but I think this item highlights the perils of non-confrontation, as well as the extent to which people will go to avoid doing a relationship's dirty work themselves.

That's "dirty" in a bad way, perverts.
