1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 2: I want to talk about being single. Not me, not me,

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: but I but whether.

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: No, congratulations, he's gone again? Calling again? Is that quick?

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: You know? This has another one. This has nothing to

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 2: do with me, but I was very keen to have

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: a read about the fact that apparently you will be

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: happier and generally you are happier if you are single. Now,

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: over the years, research has said that being part of it,

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: you know, unity, being part of a marriage, having a partner,

11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: will make you happier and live longer in all of

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: those things. But when you deep dive into that, no,

13
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: when you deep dive into the into the research, hang on,

14
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: listen to look at this with an eye on the

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: miss now the ad read shows that such claims often

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: misrepresent or exaggerate the results of the research.

17
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: How many people do you think are married and happy?

18
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: Give me a percentage? Hang on a minute, I'm going

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: to add another factor in how many people are married

20
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: and happy but have been married for ten years?

21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: Also, do you mean you are happily married early on?

22
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: And then that just.

23
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: Runs out, starts with a honeymoon, and that's the peak,

24
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: isn't it?

25
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 2: Well, some people aren't even happy then, but some people

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: are like, why am I doing this?

27
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: Well, I am, I'm happy. If you're looking at me

28
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: questioning whether I am, I'm definitely happy.

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: I'm not questioning anyone here. But what I'm also saying

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: is that if you've woken up this morning, it was

31
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: a big weekend. Maybe the breakup happened over the weekend.

32
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: Don't be discouraged. This could be about to you know,

33
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: this could be the happiest chapter of your life that

34
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: you're about to embark on. Yes, scientists examine the physical

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: and also physical and mental health of single people, and

36
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: it's much better than if you have ever said I do.

37
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think the setup of single people, like if

38
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: you have kids and then you divorce, the idea of going, well,

39
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: you have this.

40
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: Weekend, Oh, I think this weekend?

41
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: On? You have this weekend? Are you no? You take

42
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: them here? Okay, so I've got Saturday afternoon tomors. Well,

43
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: to myself.

44
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: You sound like a married person with three children and

45
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: a wife at home and everything that looks lovely. Yeah,

46
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: and that you don't quite understand the complications of co

47
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: or parallel parenting.

48
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: Parallel parenting is that the term now.

49
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: Well, it can be tricky. Can I know that when

50
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: I have had to do that at times, some of

51
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: the times that I have not had my daughter. You

52
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: it's the it's absolutely it's awful.

53
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: So you're telling me they're not coming back till seven

54
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: o'clock on sun.

55
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: You're looking at it. Look, let me let me say

56
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: sometimes it is nice to go and have your nails

57
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: up on your own if.

58
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: You want to pay the back by yourself.
