    Why didn't he/she call?

    New dating website contacts your exes to find out what went wrong: You're ratedon your kissing too

    • Audrey Melnik is trying to create a socially acceptable way to learn whathappened, improve yourself and move on.

    You went on (what you considered) a stellar date — then waited by the phone, composed and deleted dozens of text messages and compulsively checked your email, but never heard from him or her again.

    What did you do wrong? When a breakup never actually occurs, how can you move on?

    Here's where WotWentWrong, a newly-launched breakup app, comes in. You can find out, in a neutral way, what exactly did go wrong, finally getting closure on a fizzled relationship.

    No more sleepless nights! No more lingering questions! Set a blueprint for your future relationships!

    Inspired by her own vanishing date, Australian Audrey Melnik founded and developed WotWentWrong to help others get the answers they need.

    Simply fill out a few fields on the feedback form, select a request template — choose from flippant, cool, philosophical, or even historical, for relationships long past — then rate your date on kissing technique, conversation skills and more "teasers" to incentivize a response.

    Your registration is complete. Cross your fingers that your ex will be sufficiently tempted by said teasers to evoke a response, and that he or she will be honest about your shortcomings.

    Positive feedback accompanies the constructive (read: negative) feedback; WotWentWrong gives advice for improvement and suggests products (read: advertisements) that might help you solve your problem.

    No more sleepless nights! No more lingering questions! Set a blueprint for your future relationships!

    Have multiple failed relationship loose ends that need tying up? Send unlimited requests.

    Want to give unsolicited feedback for someone ​you dumped, who just needs to know about that one deal breaker? Go for it.

    Tell us: At a time when so many first impressions take place online, does rehashing everything online feel like a natural extension? Or is this type of disconnected feedback pushing the boundaries?

    Love Your Mother-In-Law

    Daughter-in-Law Diaries: New site gives you tools to deal with the other womanin your husband's life

    Long the scourge of a healthy and happy marriage, a daughter-in-law's relationship with her mother-in-law often follows the same story: Daughter-in-law becomes frustrated with nagging and bragging, mother-in-law fails to see how her interference is burdensome, son plays both sides, no one wins.

    As a new wife and a new mom, this cycle was a part of Houstonian Ali Katz's life, too. Discontented with the situation, and tired of venting to her husband, Katz took to writing a novel about the tribulations of dealing with a mother-in-law.

    Katz noticed that she didn't like the main character — her​ — who was impatient with her well-meaning mother-in-law. So she decided to do something about it.

    "It was really a cathartic experience," Katz tells CultureMap. "It made me take a big, hard look at myself."

    Katz noticed that she didn't like the main character — her​ — who was impatient with her well-meaning mother-in-law. So she decided to do something about it.

    In late January, Katz launched Daughter-in-Law Diaries, an interactive website designed to help herself and others improve upon the oft-contentious relationship.

    Daughter-in-Law Diaries offers licensed therapists to council and answer tough questions, easy recipes and entertaining ideas to impress and plenty of forum space to vent to sympathetic users — other women who face similar woes.

    As the website expands, expect to see Wedding Wisdom Profiles from event planners (Christine Hoffer from Belle of the Ball will be the first featured, and then Philadelphia-based Barbara-Jo Saler) and full menus from guest chefs (Spoiler alert! Ari Rosenson, the executive chef from CUT in Los Angeles, has already signed on, as has Skinny Ms.).

    "I am so excited about this project, because even though there are so many wonderful recipes online, these full menus will really help pull the whole meal together and ease the stress of entertaining family and friends," Katz says.

    The whole point, Katz explains, is to bring families together. Those daughters-in-law already using the website have responded with overwhelming positivity: Where before they felt isolated, they now have a place to connect and an outlet for anonymous release about the other woman in your man's life.

    And as for her own mother-in-law? "We have a wonderful relationship," Katz says.
