Be careful about giving out advice for couples.
BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (AP) -- A lesbian couple who entered into the nation's first same-sex civil union are splitting up amid allegations of violent behavior.
Carolyn Conrad, 35, asked a court in October to end her relationship with Kathleen Peterson, 46.
Conrad also obtained a restraining order Wednesday against her partner, saying Peterson punched a hole in the wall during an argument and threatened to harm a friend.
"All I want to say is that the civil union was a big source of pride for me, and now it's not," Peterson said.
The two had been together for five years when they were legally joined in Brattleboro minutes after Vermont's civil-union law took effect on July 1, 2000. Two years ago, the couple were offering relationship advice on the gay-rights Web site.
Hard to believe, web site operators giving advice.
Next thing you know, they'll be talking politics.
