<v Speaker 1>Wait, like you're you're comfortable? No, how do you feel comfort?

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut.

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>This is our Ask Uncut episode where we answer your deep,

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:37.160
<v Speaker 1>dark and burning questions. This episode, you can truly ask

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.639
<v Speaker 1>us anything. It could be about your shitty boyfriend who

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>never writes back when he's out in a boys' night.

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>It could be how to spell jalapino, whatever your heart

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>ever asks out, and no, don't ask us that, do

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>google it. It could be where that Brittany and I

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>have any rogue facial hairs? Do you, Brittany have any

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>rogue facial hairs? I can, hands down say I have

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>never had a rope. Shut up. I don't believe you

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>for one second. I am unhari is person. Even my

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>body hair, I don't have hair. I could literally shave

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.479
<v Speaker 1>my face. Really, I have never I barely even pluck

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>my eyebrows. I've never waxed the lip. I've never done anything.

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>I've got some true Italian jeans in my family. I

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.559
<v Speaker 1>have this one rogue chin hair that always comes back

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 1>and every soft and it's like every six weeks or so,

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Matt will be like, oh, my friend's back and then

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>he'll pat it. When I was in labor. When I

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>was in labor, I hadn't noticed that it had grown back.

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>And it's not what you want to be told when

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>you're laying in a bed and you don't have tweezers

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>on you, and you're trying to give birth and someone

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 1>you have a baby poking out of your vagina, and

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>someone says to you, hey, babe, your chin hair's back.

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>Anyway that I hope that made some women feel better

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>about themselves. My sister's got a wicked one on a chin. Sorry, Sy,

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>it's just like this one little moled always grows a

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>really long hair. I think it's one of those things

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>that every like so many. I would say ninety nine

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>percent of women have a rogue facial hair that just grows,

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>so no one ever talks about it. Statistic and I

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>don't it. Yeah, Look, I've done my research. I want

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>to destigmatize these things to make everyone feel inclusive and

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>connected totally. Let's start with the questions. I want to

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>tell you something funny actually that my friend wrote to me.

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.639
<v Speaker 1>She wrote into us as just a funny story that

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>had happened to her. Literally, she goes guys this just

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>happened to be ten minutes ago, and of course I

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>was going to tell you first. She has quite a

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>big following and she's someone in the public and I

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>won't name her, but she recently had a baby. This

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>is what she wrote to me today. I'm now going

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>to try and decipher who this is. And it wasn't me, guys,

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>she goes, guys, this is almost real time. This literally

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 1>just happened. My partner is doing an online course and

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.639
<v Speaker 1>thought he'd spend this really rainy day finishing it off.

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.239
<v Speaker 1>I've just put bubb down for sleep, and I thought,

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>you know what, it's been a while. I might spice

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>things up. I might set his study a light. So

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I ran into the room, lifting up my shirt, completely

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>naked and shoved my boobs in his face. Here I

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>was hitting him in the face with my bibs, and

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was hilarious until he told me his

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>webcam was on and his teacher was watching the whole thing.

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>But also, if you've just had a baby, you're more

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>than likely, after a few smacks around, to start lactating

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 1>as well. I think it's so funny, but also imagine

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>if you were just going like come on, babe woom.

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>And then the Professor's like, excuse me, Oh, no, stuff

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>gets so weird after you have a kid, It just

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>gets weird. Do you know what Larlie did to me today? Oh?

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't. I don't even know where to start. Was

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 1>a mania. So I was sitting there on the couch

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and she'd just been eating chocolate. So she went on

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>asking me for more coconut rough chocolate and I was like,

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 1>you're not having any more. You've had three pieces. And

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 1>then she comes up with what I thought was chocolate

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>on her hand and goes yacky yaki. And at the

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 1>same time I could smell human shit, and I was like,

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's chocolate, but I think that's coconut

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>roll would think that we're talking about the same thing.

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I grabbed her hand and I smelt it, and I

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>was like, yes, you have just shoved your hand down

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the back of your pants into your own pooh and

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>you think that's yucky. I was like, my child is

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>a genius. She knows this is yucky. Look at all

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the words she's learned. You know what this is how

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>they work it out. Yeah, I know that the pooh

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>is yucky until they've put it on their hand, they've

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>smelt it, they realize it doesn't feel good. This is

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>how they're learning. Call it education. It's organic education. I

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>told you she's a genius. She put two and two together.

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I think I think genius is a stretch at this point.

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>It's a stretch, but we'll give her. She's a learning anyway. Guys,

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.479
<v Speaker 1>thank you to every single person who's written in a

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>question for today's episode. We love these episodes. It is

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>when we answer all the tricky stuff that is happening

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.719
<v Speaker 1>in your lives. Some of it's not that tricky, some

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 1>of it's pretty entertaining, and you know what, we hash

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>it out. We've got no experience. We don't know what

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about, but we've got profit, we've got unbridled

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.039
<v Speaker 1>enthusiasm and you can't beat that. And we have a

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of life experience as well. So Brittany, who has

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>chosen all the questions for today because she's the only

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>one who has some free time, please give me question

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.160
<v Speaker 1>number one. Question number one is the reason I chose this.

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 1>I love that I'm giving you a background like it's

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.159
<v Speaker 1>like an essay. I'm presenting, Guys, the reason I chose

0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>this topic today, But seriously, the reason they chose this

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>top today was it is something I think is very relevant.

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 1>It's something I have had this exact conversation quite recently,

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:07.720
<v Speaker 1>not quite to this extent. I think a lot of

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 1>people have this question, so I'm going to get into it.

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>A girl reading to us and said, Hey, guys, I

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 1>recently got sent this message. The message reads, Hey, Francesca, Honestly,

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you are beautiful, funny, and I really would have liked

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>to see this workout, but I don't think I'm up

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 1>to it anymore. I guess there's just too many red

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 1>flags for me. You've never been a girl that commits

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>to one guy, and I don't think anyone wants to

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>hear that you have a roster on the side, or

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>that you're literally the opposite of a fuck boy. You're

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 1>a fuck girl. I love that you're honest and you

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>say that whatever is on your mind. But I think

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>if you actually want to have a special relationship and

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>have someone special in your life, they probably shouldn't hear

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.360
<v Speaker 1>so much about your past experiences. And I've heard too

0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 1>many about yours. I am really sorry, and I do

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 1>hope you find what you're looking for a bit. Unfortunately

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>it's not me. I love that He's like, I love

0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 1>that you're honest, but actually stop being so fucking honest,

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 1>because I don't like it. What the backhanded compliment that was? Yeah,

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>in a nutshell, she's met this guy, and she's been

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 1>really open about her past experiences, and they are the

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.839
<v Speaker 1>fact that she doesn't really commit easily. She's hooked up

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 1>with heaps of people, she's slept with heaps of people,

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>she has people on the side, she has fuck boys,

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.160
<v Speaker 1>she's got friends with benefits, and she's been open about

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 1>that with him, and he has turned around and said

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.840
<v Speaker 1>in all honesty, and I don't think he's been rude,

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.160
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think he'd said it in a very

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 1>good way, and I don't think he needed to go

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.040
<v Speaker 1>into that detail. But essentially he's saying, look, I don't

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>want to know so much about your past, and now

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I know it. I don't want to

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 1>go there. She finishes it by saying, look, I do

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:37.920
<v Speaker 1>think this is a great conversation, and I have been

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 1>having this conversation with my friends. Essentially, should you be

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>sharing your past with someone new that you're dating, and

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 1>if so, how much should you be sharing? So I

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>actually think that this is a really great question. Firstly,

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.719
<v Speaker 1>I just want to say it is relevant how many

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:53.840
<v Speaker 1>people you've slept with, Like, you know, no one can

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>slut shame you, or no one should slut shame you.

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:57.920
<v Speaker 1>You can sleep with as many people as you want.

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.919
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't define you, It does not impact you as

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.600
<v Speaker 1>a person, It doesn't impact anyone else. It doesn't impact

0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 1>anybody else. Should you divulge all the information about yourself

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 1>in a first date and your history? No, I don't

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>think so. And I think that you know, you need

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 1>to kind of be aware about how much of your

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>past you share because you haven't spent enough time with

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>someone for them to understand who you are as a

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 1>person now and the things that you like and whether

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.760
<v Speaker 1>you have a great connection. And I think that there's

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>so many other things that you can focus on before

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 1>telling this person, Hey, I've got this many people who

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I've slept with. You know, I'm not really looking for

0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>anything serious right now, because you just don't know what

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 1>it could grow into. So I think be very very

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>careful about jumping straight into talking about all of your

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>exes and all of your past relationships, and it's not

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>because you should be ashamed of them, and it's not

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 1>because you should feel guilt for having them, but it's

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 1>just because that doesn't need to be the first conversation

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 1>you're having on a first, second, third, fourth date. And

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>where Brick came and we started talking about this question

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>and we started unpacking it a little bit, because, like

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, we usually we usually try and get on

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the same page before we start recording this podcast. I

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 1>just usually want to know each other where we sit,

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>what side of the fence we sit on. So I

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 1>know a lot about Matt's past relationships and he knows

0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>loads about my past relationships. Because I think it's really

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 1>important to talk about your past for your current partner

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>to get a really good understanding of who you are

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 1>as a person. I think that there is context there,

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and I think that that's an important part of what

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 1>makes you you. However, I have no idea how many

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>people Matt's had sex with. I don't fucking care. I

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 1>don't want to know. I don't want to know because

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it would make me jealous. But it's

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 1>just irrelevant, and I think that it's such an unnecessary

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:40.360
<v Speaker 1>topic to have because it can cause some hurt, it

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 1>can cause some jealousy, and it can also make someone

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>feel a little bit insignificant if they're a bit immature.

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 1>And I say this because when I was really a

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 1>lot younger than I am now, a lot more insecure

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:52.719
<v Speaker 1>than what I am now, I didn't have a very

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.600
<v Speaker 1>big sexual experience. I mean, I think I only slept

0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:57.320
<v Speaker 1>with a handful of people at the time. And I

0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.199
<v Speaker 1>met this guy who I really really liked, and I

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 1>did end up being with him for a long time,

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>but he told me that he'd slept with over one

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 1>hundred people and I'd only slept with two people at

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.600
<v Speaker 1>the time. So hearing that he had slept with one

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.200
<v Speaker 1>hundred people and I had only slept with two people

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 1>made me think that I was so insignificant, And of

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 1>course that's my shit to deal with, that's my baggage.

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 1>But it was just a conversation that I wish we

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 1>had never had, and I wish I had never asked,

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 1>because it made me feel a way that I didn't

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 1>need to feel, and you know what, like he hadn't

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 1>done anything wrong, and that's all on me, but still

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I felt that way and those feelings were still valid.

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't just will them away. So I think just

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 1>be careful early. When you meet someone and you like them,

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't need to tell them about every single thing

0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 1>that's going in your life. You don't owe them that

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 1>yet either, I think the same thing, and I think

0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 1>that everyone's entitled to talk about their past, and everyone's

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 1>entitled to know your partner's past to an extent. But

0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I really do think and I've learned this from experience.

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:56.839
<v Speaker 1>I have dealt with it in my current relationship with

0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Jordan now, But I do think it is the way

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you deliver it, and it's the level of detail you

0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 1>go into. The fact of the matter is you don't

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 1>need to go into detail. And maybe instead of telling

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.320
<v Speaker 1>your current partner that, like I slept with him, slept

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.560
<v Speaker 1>with him, hooked up with him, here's my friends with benefits,

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you need to go into that detail.

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it can be like, oh, yeah, like we

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 1>had something in the past. It could be literally the

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 1>language that you choose to use because whether we like

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:22.719
<v Speaker 1>it or not, whether it's right or not. And I've

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 1>had a really hard time getting my head around this.

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.199
<v Speaker 1>Most men in my life that I've spoken to and

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking. I asked friends, I asked relatives, male relatives.

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I asked Jordan, my boyfriend, I asked his friends. I've

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 1>asked a lot of people. I even just asked Matt.

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Most men have the same response, and it's that they

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:43.320
<v Speaker 1>don't want to know your past in that depth. They

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>don't care about it. Okay, cool. They want to know

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>that you had a relationship of two years. That's where

0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.560
<v Speaker 1>it ends. They want no more detail, and they don't

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 1>want you to speak in depth about it because they

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.080
<v Speaker 1>want to feel like they're in the moment now, they're

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 1>living with you. You're what they're thinking about. They don't

0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 1>want to think about the fact that you've slept with

0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.080
<v Speaker 1>all these other people. It's just like a mind game

0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>to them. It's fun, isn't it. Because I think, and

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>this is very gender like norms that we're kind of

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>going into, and we're being a little bit stereotypical here,

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 1>But I do think that as women, we like to

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 1>talk like, we like to talk about our feelings. What

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>are you talk about? I like to tell people everything

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 1>that's happening in my life, and I know that in

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.080
<v Speaker 1>the past, I've definitely made the mistake of talking too

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>much and saying too much, and then getting myself into

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 1>a situation where the person who is receiving the information

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving them, I e. The guy that I like,

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't want to hear it. But the fact of

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the matter is that you may get someone off side

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 1>before they get to actually know the whole picture of

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.560
<v Speaker 1>who you are as a person. And the other thing

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.320
<v Speaker 1>as well is is what you can run the risk

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.120
<v Speaker 1>of is to this guy, like this text message that's

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>come in, you have said I have a roster, or

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I have a you know, I have my side men

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 1>that I want to be with, or like, you know,

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I have my Tuesday guy or my Wednesday guy. I'm

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 1>good for you, girl, mate, I used to have a

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday guy too. I'm not going to tell someone who

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I go on a date with that I've got a

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday night guy, because especially if the date's on a

0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday night, well, no, if the date's on a Tuesday,

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm not like, hey, so tomorrow night, I got Wednesday

0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:03.560
<v Speaker 1>night guy. That's why I didn't you go home from

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the day. The reason why I think you don't have

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 1>those sorts of conversations is because you don't know if

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 1>you actually really like this person or not, and then

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>you're giving the impression that you're not after anything serious.

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.040
<v Speaker 1>And even though I had a Wednesday night guy, I

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.679
<v Speaker 1>still wanted a serious relationship. So I think you shoot

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 1>yourself in the foot and you give an impression that

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.080
<v Speaker 1>you're not after anything more than friends with benefits or

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.440
<v Speaker 1>to other fuck buddy. So I really do think there

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.559
<v Speaker 1>is a level of how much of you you need

0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.560
<v Speaker 1>to share before it's totally oversharing. Well, this is where

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.079
<v Speaker 1>my problem came in, right with Jordan. Your girl likes

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:39.959
<v Speaker 1>to talk high spirit. You girl's got a history. You

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.080
<v Speaker 1>girl likes to talk. You're like So I dated Asso Shipath.

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I once said it this guy who had a wife

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know, we had a dog and we were

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna get married. And then he gas, what the fuck

0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.560
<v Speaker 1>out of me? And the thing is for somebody like me?

0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 1>And I say somebody like me, I refer to the

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.079
<v Speaker 1>fact that I've been single for nine years, ten years,

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and I've dated a lot of people. I've been onto

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.680
<v Speaker 1>dating reality TV shows. The things for me, I have

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:03.960
<v Speaker 1>a history, and when I want to talk about my past,

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 1>it often whether it's traveling to certain places. Usually there

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.800
<v Speaker 1>are stories that are linked in with someone I might

0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 1>have been seen at the time, and so I've got

0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 1>a big history of experiences with other people. And I

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:15.840
<v Speaker 1>would never go into detail about people that I had

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:17.840
<v Speaker 1>been with or anything like that, but I would mention people.

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I'd be like, oh, you know, I ended up seeing

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>this guy in Nargentina and then we went to this place,

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and I would just throw into conversation like that, and

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.880
<v Speaker 1>eventually Jordan had to say to me, look like, I

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>I think your history is great. Everything's great, but I

0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>don't really want to know. I don't want to hear

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 1>about people you've been with. And I was like, oh,

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 1>but I haven't really gone into detail. He's like, I know,

0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and it doesn't matter. He's like, I just I don't

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.560
<v Speaker 1>want to think about that part of your life that

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.319
<v Speaker 1>you had all these experiences with other people. I just

0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:43.960
<v Speaker 1>want to make them with you. And I had to

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 1>really stop and register that because I loved to talk

0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:48.559
<v Speaker 1>like I wanted to tell him everything, and I had

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 1>to realize that, Okay, maybe it is going to affect him,

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:53.680
<v Speaker 1>and whether I think it's right or not, I couldn't

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 1>understand it at the start, I was like, but I

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 1>want to tell you about this because it was a

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 1>big part of my life. I had to come to

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.080
<v Speaker 1>the point where he said, I understand you want to

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.840
<v Speaker 1>tell me, but I need you to understand that I

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 1>don't want to hear about it. And we had to

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.959
<v Speaker 1>meet at this point where I had to say, Okay,

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I can't do that because making him uncomfortable.

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's what we need to realize, is

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 1>that everyone's going to be different. But if you go

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.080
<v Speaker 1>into a relationship or the first couple of dates and

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 1>all you're doing is talking about all these other people

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 1>that you've been with, immediately, this person's going to lose

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>interest or the only thing that they're going to have

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 1>an interest in is like maybe they're going onto your roster.

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that to be mean or to be harsh.

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying you would think the same thing if the

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 1>role was reversed. Just as an example too, as like

0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 1>a role reversal. I was on a date, like a

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.320
<v Speaker 1>long time ago obviously with this person, and I've been

0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.800
<v Speaker 1>speaking to him before we went on the date. He's

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>leading into my Instagram. We were chatting for a little

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:46.880
<v Speaker 1>bit we went on this that had an amazing day,

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Like went into the harbor, went to a really nice restaurant,

0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.400
<v Speaker 1>went to opera bar, went to another bar, and it

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.480
<v Speaker 1>was great. The band was there, the chats were there,

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:57.080
<v Speaker 1>it was really smooth. I was like, I like this guy. Now.

0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why he did what he did next,

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:00.920
<v Speaker 1>but we started to talk about like the last person

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.280
<v Speaker 1>we're with in terms of a relationship, and then he

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 1>told me I've slept with three hundred people. That's what

0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:07.920
<v Speaker 1>he said. He goes, oh, I've slept with about three

0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and twenty people or something. He's like, I

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 1>don't really count. And I was gobsmacked. And the way

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 1>he said it to me was as if this was

0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.200
<v Speaker 1>going to guarantee him getting laid with me, because it

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 1>was almost like he was like, this is how experienced

0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I am, This is how good I am. In all honesty,

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 1>it was the exact moment he said it, everything my

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 1>body switched and I was like, I want nothing to

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.920
<v Speaker 1>do with him. It just completely And I'm not saying

0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.800
<v Speaker 1>that's right, but I'm trying to explain that whether we

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 1>want it or not, we can't control the way we

0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 1>feel and that is that ignited something in me that

0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.200
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh cool, that's great for you. But now

0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like I'm in another notch on your

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.440
<v Speaker 1>belt and I lost interest. I think because it makes

0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.640
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you're not special and other notch. Yeah,

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and when you're with someone and you really like them,

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 1>you want them to make you feel special. You don't

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.800
<v Speaker 1>want them to tell you that you're one of X

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 1>amount of people. You know. You want to feel like

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.520
<v Speaker 1>you're an individual and they see you as an individual.

0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.000
<v Speaker 1>So I think, you know, regardless of how many people

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 1>you've had in sexual partners, that's totally beside the point.

0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 1>And like we've said all throughout this, like you could

0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 1>have three hundred partners, you could have a thousand, you

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.600
<v Speaker 1>could have two. It's fucking irrelevant, to be perfectly honest.

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.880
<v Speaker 1>But if you want to have a serious relationship with

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.720
<v Speaker 1>someone and you do think that you're interested in them,

0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.560
<v Speaker 1>then do try and make them feel special and do

0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.320
<v Speaker 1>prioritize their feelings, and maybe there might be a little

0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>bit in them that feels put off by hearing about

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.480
<v Speaker 1>your exes, because we all have that little bit of

0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.280
<v Speaker 1>jealousy that's inside us obviously, Like I said, I spoke

0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.320
<v Speaker 1>to Matt knows a lot about my history and my relationships.

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I only started telling him about my history and my

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.440
<v Speaker 1>relationships once we were in a committed relationship, and he

0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 1>asked because he wanted more context about who I am

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.240
<v Speaker 1>as a person. Also, when you knew you had him, Yeah,

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I one you in a reality TV show. I'm going

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 1>to tell you all my fucking crazy stories because I

0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 1>think we have wrapped that question and answered it, probably

0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 1>answered it too much, but anyway, keep some of this,

0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.080
<v Speaker 1>keep some of your past to yourself, all right. Question

0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:07.560
<v Speaker 1>number two? All right, this is controversial. Okay, guys, I

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 1>got quite the doozy for you, and I'm in a

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 1>sticky situation. So it's kind of a long story. But essentially,

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.879
<v Speaker 1>my boss has been having a secret affair with one

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:19.000
<v Speaker 1>of my coworkers, a dirty dog, dirty dog. Almost everyone

0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.240
<v Speaker 1>in the office knows about it because the coworker that

0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.320
<v Speaker 1>he's sleeping with has actually told us. It's very obviously

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 1>true as well, and it's starting to become a problem

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.119
<v Speaker 1>in the workplace because it's interfering with our ability to

0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 1>do our jobs. Not only is this an inappropriate work situation,

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.240
<v Speaker 1>but also what a fucking dog cheating on his partner

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 1>for a year. It's hard because I really like him

0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.760
<v Speaker 1>as a boss, but I get really annoyed when I

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.879
<v Speaker 1>see them together acting flirty and making jokes about their affair,

0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 1>thinking that the rest of us don't understand. I don't

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 1>feel as though I am in a senior enough position

0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 1>to say anything, but no one else is saying anything

0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>despite us all wanting it to be over. What the

0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.600
<v Speaker 1>heck should I do? Should I tell a board member

0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.040
<v Speaker 1>or should I leave an anonymous letter to my boss

0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>telling him that everyone knows and to sort his shit

0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.880
<v Speaker 1>out and keep it out of the workplace. I'm really

0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.359
<v Speaker 1>confused about what to do because the whole situation is

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:10.359
<v Speaker 1>wrong that I don't feel or know if it's my

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 1>place to say anything. Help. Okay, I think this is

0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:19.640
<v Speaker 1>very controversial because what are they doing when you say flirty?

0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.000
<v Speaker 1>What is it that's flirty about their behavior? And what

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:26.359
<v Speaker 1>are they doing that is stopping you from being able

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to do your job? Like, if it is just that

0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:30.879
<v Speaker 1>they're joke here and they have banter, you're going to

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.560
<v Speaker 1>have a really hard time saying that whatever it is

0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:38.960
<v Speaker 1>that's going on is a problem, because just because you

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.560
<v Speaker 1>morally see this as being an issue, which of course

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.200
<v Speaker 1>it is. Like, well, I mean, he's cheating, and it's

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.600
<v Speaker 1>fucked right, But him being a dickhead and him cheating

0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.639
<v Speaker 1>on his wife is not your personal problem. Just because

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 1>it's morally wrong doesn't mean that you should take on

0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:56.440
<v Speaker 1>somebody else's bad shit that they're doing and take ownership

0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 1>from it and get yourself involved. That said, if it's

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:03.160
<v Speaker 1>obviously happening in the workplace, if those actions are impeding

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:06.000
<v Speaker 1>your ability to do your job, if he is preferencing

0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.800
<v Speaker 1>her or prioritizing her, just say that you guys are

0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 1>in the same position and she's being given preferential treatment

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.639
<v Speaker 1>by him. If any of that sort of stuff's happening,

0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:17.919
<v Speaker 1>then you absolutely have a reason to say something. And

0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.080
<v Speaker 1>in that case, you should take this to HR and

0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you should have a conversation because you know it's already

0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:28.200
<v Speaker 1>such inappropriate workplace conduct. But if they're not physically doing

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 1>anything or not necessarily I don't mean physical is in

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:32.280
<v Speaker 1>life they have to be fucking in a boardroom, Like

0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:34.120
<v Speaker 1>that's not what I'm saying, but like, if they're not

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.679
<v Speaker 1>doing anything that actually kind of crosses a line of

0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:38.880
<v Speaker 1>being flirtatious in a way that it stops you from

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:41.439
<v Speaker 1>doing your job. Then I think you're going to have

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.320
<v Speaker 1>a really hard time with this because if it's just

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:47.679
<v Speaker 1>the moral implications that she's told you, and it hurts

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.719
<v Speaker 1>your soul that he is cheating on his wife, and

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.240
<v Speaker 1>you want to do like the vigil anti right thing,

0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:56.080
<v Speaker 1>which I think most of us would really struggle with,

0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and most of us would want to be like, you

0:19:57.600 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 1>know what, No, screw you, You should suffer for this.

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:01.560
<v Speaker 1>You need to stop doing what you're doing and do

0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:03.600
<v Speaker 1>the right thing, because what you're doing is wrong, and

0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 1>that's really noble that that's where your head's at. I

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.119
<v Speaker 1>think it's going to come back and bite you and

0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the ass being an employee, that it will bite him

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:13.879
<v Speaker 1>in the ass because they are both going to deny, deny, deny,

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.679
<v Speaker 1>and say that nothing is happening, and then what do

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you do for me? Here the issue is, and I

0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:22.840
<v Speaker 1>agree with Laura, if this is just your moral compass

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:25.639
<v Speaker 1>that literally is going haywire and doesn't know what to do,

0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:30.120
<v Speaker 1>you need to reconsider whether it's worth disrupting and causing

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.119
<v Speaker 1>a problem between everyone in the office and him and

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:34.960
<v Speaker 1>his wife. Because people are assholes. People are going to

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 1>be assholes around you. You're not responsible for somebody else's

0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:42.080
<v Speaker 1>asshole behavior. But for me, the reason I think this

0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:44.639
<v Speaker 1>is actually quite a simple answer is, and I'm very

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:47.119
<v Speaker 1>passionate about this, you say that you're not comfortable in

0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:49.880
<v Speaker 1>your workplace and then it's causing problems and you're unable

0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.199
<v Speaker 1>to do your job. And for me, that is pretty

0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:55.520
<v Speaker 1>clear cut. If no one should ever, under any circumstances,

0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:58.000
<v Speaker 1>feel uncomfortable in their place of work. Now we don't

0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 1>know what is happening to make you feel that way,

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.199
<v Speaker 1>but I when everyone's listening to know that if you're uncomfortable,

0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:05.800
<v Speaker 1>you one hundred percent can take that further because this

0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:07.840
<v Speaker 1>should be a safe place. And I mean with everything

0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:10.040
<v Speaker 1>happening in the world right now and everything happening in Parliament,

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that I can't drive this point home enough. Now,

0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:15.760
<v Speaker 1>how you go about that? You can either go to

0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 1>HR or obviously and you can have the discussion and

0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:21.480
<v Speaker 1>you can leave it to them, or because you did

0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:23.320
<v Speaker 1>make a point where you said, look, I quite like

0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:26.159
<v Speaker 1>him as a boss normally and you don't know what

0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:28.439
<v Speaker 1>to do. I do think that you could leave an

0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:31.480
<v Speaker 1>anonymous note if you really wanted to. That's not passive aggressive,

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:33.960
<v Speaker 1>that's not nasty, that's not malicious. I think you could

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:37.399
<v Speaker 1>even know saying exactly what you just said to us. Hey, look,

0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 1>we all know what's going on, and we don't feel

0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:43.720
<v Speaker 1>comfortable with it. If you could leave your extracurricular activities

0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:47.120
<v Speaker 1>outside of the workplace, that would be the best thing

0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:50.800
<v Speaker 1>for everyone. I personally think that's okay. If you're torn

0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:52.760
<v Speaker 1>between whether to go and throw this person under the

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 1>bus or to just say, hey, give him a nudge

0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:59.159
<v Speaker 1>in the right direction, that would be my advice in

0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:01.639
<v Speaker 1>what to do. But ultimately only you're going to know

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:03.320
<v Speaker 1>what to do. I just don't think you need to

0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:05.639
<v Speaker 1>go to work every single day if you're uncomfortable in

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:08.280
<v Speaker 1>that environment. I would one hundred percent agree with everything

0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:10.960
<v Speaker 1>you said, and I guess the like where I came

0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:13.680
<v Speaker 1>from in my perspective of this is if they are

0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:16.800
<v Speaker 1>bringing this to work, then you need to say something.

0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:21.000
<v Speaker 1>But if they are leaving their extracurricular activities at the door,

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:24.199
<v Speaker 1>and they are exactly that extracurricular and you only know

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:27.320
<v Speaker 1>about this because your friend told you, and it's the

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:30.119
<v Speaker 1>moral side of it that you're grappling with, then I

0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:32.960
<v Speaker 1>think that's when you don't want to get involved. But

0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:36.159
<v Speaker 1>if they are physically doing stuff at work, if there

0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:39.119
<v Speaker 1>is anything that makes you feel uncomfortable from their behavior

0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:42.159
<v Speaker 1>that is impeding your ability to do your job, that

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:45.880
<v Speaker 1>is sexual misconduct. That is absolutely freaking and appropriate. And

0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:48.720
<v Speaker 1>we're definitely not sitting here advocating saying and I'm not

0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I swear that to say that you should just cop

0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:53.439
<v Speaker 1>that on the chin or look for another job. My

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:56.679
<v Speaker 1>perspective at the start is more so if nothing is

0:22:56.720 --> 0:22:59.239
<v Speaker 1>happening at work and it's on you and how you

0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 1>feel he should be behaving because of something that you've

0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:05.679
<v Speaker 1>been told, then that's where the area is gray. I think, Well,

0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:07.160
<v Speaker 1>the other thing that I want to point out too,

0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and it's interesting that it's the first thing that we

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:12.239
<v Speaker 1>think of. It takes two to ten go there are

0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:14.680
<v Speaker 1>two people in this There is your boss, the male,

0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and there is your friend who is a colleague and

0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 1>he's the female. Why do you just have to go

0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:22.240
<v Speaker 1>straight to the boss and leave a note. Why can't

0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:24.159
<v Speaker 1>you talk to your friend and call her out, and

0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:25.719
<v Speaker 1>not even call her out, but just go hey, Like,

0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't agree with what you're doing. I don't think

0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:30.240
<v Speaker 1>you should be doing it, you know, morally because the

0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:33.680
<v Speaker 1>guy is married. But you can't bring this work anymore,

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Like you guys need to do that outside, Like I

0:23:35.600 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 1>don't think. Of course, the boss has a responsibility and

0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not taking that off him, but I'm just saying

0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:43.719
<v Speaker 1>there are different ways you can go about this if

0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:45.560
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to go and throw yourself under a

0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:49.200
<v Speaker 1>bus to your boss. Well, I guess the thing is right,

0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:51.760
<v Speaker 1>is that there is such a gross imbalance of power,

0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:54.560
<v Speaker 1>right if you're going to be hooking up with your boss,

0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Like the issue doesn't necessarily lie with the employee. The

0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:00.199
<v Speaker 1>issue well, I mean, like, look, it's not good from

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:02.560
<v Speaker 1>any side of the coin. It's a shitty, shitty coin.

0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:06.280
<v Speaker 1>But the imbalance of power comes when somebody who is

0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:09.399
<v Speaker 1>the boss has the power in the workplace. They are

0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:11.880
<v Speaker 1>abusing that and really there should be boundaries in place.

0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean a lot of workplaces have the rule that

0:24:13.520 --> 0:24:15.359
<v Speaker 1>you can't hook up with people from work at all. No,

0:24:15.520 --> 0:24:19.520
<v Speaker 1>not my work, maybe not at your workplace. Hotels are incesstrius,

0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:21.600
<v Speaker 1>so that's the thing, right, So maybe if your workplace

0:24:21.680 --> 0:24:24.720
<v Speaker 1>has those rules in place where you can't date other employees,

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 1>or you have to have a conversation with HR before

0:24:27.080 --> 0:24:29.760
<v Speaker 1>you start dating people from within the company, then that's

0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:31.920
<v Speaker 1>a really clear cut conversation for you to be able

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 1>to have with HR. If that lines a little bit blurred,

0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:36.919
<v Speaker 1>or if it's a smaller company and they don't have

0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:39.760
<v Speaker 1>those distinctions, then then that does make that conversation a

0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:42.920
<v Speaker 1>lot harder. But I do think that even an anonymous

0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:45.840
<v Speaker 1>letter could come back to them figuring out that it's

0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:48.720
<v Speaker 1>from you. I even think that you're able to sit

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 1>down if you really want to and you have the

0:24:51.080 --> 0:24:53.560
<v Speaker 1>capacity to, you could sit down with your boss and

0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:56.480
<v Speaker 1>say this is making me feel uncomfortable, and you could

0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:58.239
<v Speaker 1>have a face to face with him. That doesn't need

0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:01.840
<v Speaker 1>to be accusatory. That it could be I've heard these things.

0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:04.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel comfortable in this situation. But that would

0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:07.000
<v Speaker 1>take a lot of courage to do that. I think

0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:09.679
<v Speaker 1>don't do that without HR. Absolutely you need to do

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 1>that with other people around as well. Absolutely, Yeah, don't

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:14.560
<v Speaker 1>have any of these conversations one on one if you're

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:16.800
<v Speaker 1>actually going to go in and I guess not. I

0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:19.200
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say accue someone, but just be very

0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 1>very aware that it's always great to have a paper trail,

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:23.359
<v Speaker 1>and it's always great to have someone else in the

0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:25.879
<v Speaker 1>room one hundred percent I stand by that from experience.

0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:29.159
<v Speaker 1>And next and last question, I am currently stuck on

0:25:29.240 --> 0:25:30.879
<v Speaker 1>what to do. I have been broken up from my

0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:34.160
<v Speaker 1>ex boyfriend for just over a year. Recently, we decided,

0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:37.159
<v Speaker 1>after much thought and individual growth, that we wanted to

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:40.639
<v Speaker 1>work towards being together again sometime in the coming months.

0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:44.639
<v Speaker 1>So we are in inverted commas dating again, but not

0:25:44.760 --> 0:25:47.440
<v Speaker 1>in a serious relationship as of yet. We're just trying

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:51.639
<v Speaker 1>to feel it out. However, recently, I've gotten to know

0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:54.480
<v Speaker 1>one of my guy friends well through regular chats, and

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel as though there is a mutual connection to

0:25:56.800 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the point where it feels like I would like to

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:03.119
<v Speaker 1>possibly explore more with him, though I'm not one hundred

0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:06.000
<v Speaker 1>percent sure this friend is feeling or thinking the same thing,

0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:09.960
<v Speaker 1>even though he appears to be interested. I'm stuck because

0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel as though I'm already into deep with my

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 1>ex because we're trying again and we're in a good place.

0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:19.400
<v Speaker 1>But the fact is I do have these new feelings too.

0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:22.879
<v Speaker 1>What do I do Do I explore the feelings with

0:26:22.920 --> 0:26:25.639
<v Speaker 1>a friend or do I continue to build a relationship

0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:28.199
<v Speaker 1>with my ex where it's just stable and I'm in

0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:30.520
<v Speaker 1>a good place because we've known each other for eight years.

0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, fuck your friend.

0:26:40.080 --> 0:26:45.719
<v Speaker 2>Fuck your friend f YF. And that's at the end

0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:46.400
<v Speaker 2>of them.

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:49.480
<v Speaker 1>So thanks guys. Listening to another episode of Life Uncut.

0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:54.240
<v Speaker 1>You know the drill. I think if you are having

0:26:54.320 --> 0:26:57.879
<v Speaker 1>these feelings and these thoughts, really really assess them, Like

0:26:57.920 --> 0:27:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, first up, we're not our feelings. There's definitely

0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:02.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be temptations that come and go throughout all

0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:04.640
<v Speaker 1>of our relationships. You know, you're going to have times

0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:06.840
<v Speaker 1>where you think, oh, maybe I'm attracted to this person.

0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:10.040
<v Speaker 1>You still have your moral compass absolutely right, like you're

0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:12.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be tempted, But the fact that you've already

0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:15.440
<v Speaker 1>gone through this breakup with your partner and now you're

0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:18.240
<v Speaker 1>trying again, and yet you're still tempted by other people

0:27:18.280 --> 0:27:21.960
<v Speaker 1>and you use the word comfortable hashtags like me think

0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:28.159
<v Speaker 1>you're just doing this because it's safe, it's reliable, it's comfortable,

0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:31.160
<v Speaker 1>and you know exactly what you're going to get from

0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:35.640
<v Speaker 1>your ear long term partner, whereas the new person it's scary,

0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:39.920
<v Speaker 1>it's uncharted territory, it's not safe, it's not a guarantee,

0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 1>and you could be risking at all. It's mysterious even

0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:45.160
<v Speaker 1>I know, but that's kind of makes it fun and naughty.

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:47.240
<v Speaker 1>But I do think that there is a lot to

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:50.080
<v Speaker 1>say about having a relationship that is safe and stable

0:27:50.119 --> 0:27:52.359
<v Speaker 1>and comfortable. Like I'm not going to just rather that

0:27:52.400 --> 0:27:54.600
<v Speaker 1>off and say that those things are important, because they

0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:57.600
<v Speaker 1>are really really important, and after eight years, what you

0:27:57.600 --> 0:27:59.639
<v Speaker 1>have built with your partner is something that is very

0:27:59.680 --> 0:28:04.720
<v Speaker 1>sign However, if you do have this longing to try

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:08.000
<v Speaker 1>something new, to be with someone new, if those feelings

0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:11.679
<v Speaker 1>are overpowering what you have with your partner, especially when

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:14.639
<v Speaker 1>you've already gone through this really tumultuous time, then I

0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:16.920
<v Speaker 1>think you really need to assess whether or not you're

0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:20.080
<v Speaker 1>just playing it safe because you don't want to be alone,

0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:22.560
<v Speaker 1>because you're hatching your bets right now and going, well,

0:28:23.040 --> 0:28:24.880
<v Speaker 1>if I take this, it's a risk and I could

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:27.120
<v Speaker 1>have no one, but at the moment I've got someone.

0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Make sure that you're making that decision, because that's someone

0:28:30.160 --> 0:28:32.280
<v Speaker 1>is the person who you absolutely want to spend your

0:28:32.280 --> 0:28:34.560
<v Speaker 1>life with, who you want to you know, potentially have

0:28:34.640 --> 0:28:36.639
<v Speaker 1>kids with if that's what you want in your life,

0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and you can see yourselves together in twenty thirty forty

0:28:40.200 --> 0:28:43.320
<v Speaker 1>years time, still inspiring each other and still actually loving

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:46.600
<v Speaker 1>each other and being engaged in this relationship. Otherwise, fuck

0:28:46.640 --> 0:28:52.080
<v Speaker 1>your friend. I'm going to start by saying, we already

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 1>know what you say, Brittany, Yeah, and then I'll explain it.

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to say it's your time to shine. Fuck

0:28:57.920 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 1>your friend, not necessarily, not be so crude, hook up

0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:03.880
<v Speaker 1>with your friend. Explore that for sure. And now I'm

0:29:03.920 --> 0:29:06.640
<v Speaker 1>going to tell you why. I am a big believer

0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:09.280
<v Speaker 1>that you can definitely get back with an X and

0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:11.880
<v Speaker 1>it can be beautiful and you're forever and you're penguin.

0:29:11.960 --> 0:29:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I think that sometimes we do need a break in

0:29:14.920 --> 0:29:17.000
<v Speaker 1>long term relationships to assess where we're at and what

0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:19.240
<v Speaker 1>we want. And I think you can come full circle

0:29:19.400 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and you could very well get back with your partner

0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:25.600
<v Speaker 1>and it's your everything. The fact is, right now, you've

0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:26.840
<v Speaker 1>been broken up with him for a year. There's a

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:28.520
<v Speaker 1>reason you broke up. We don't know what it is,

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:30.560
<v Speaker 1>but there's a reason you've been broken up with him

0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:32.880
<v Speaker 1>for a year. You still have feelings for him, which

0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:36.040
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely normal. You have stated that you know it

0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:39.320
<v Speaker 1>is a stable relationship, and like Lauris said, I want

0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:42.080
<v Speaker 1>to reiterate, we want stable, but we want stable when

0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:44.760
<v Speaker 1>it's our penguin. We don't want stable because we're scared

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:47.480
<v Speaker 1>of what the other option is. The fact is you're

0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 1>not with him yet. You're still trying to work it

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:51.840
<v Speaker 1>out and decide if you want to get back with him.

0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:53.680
<v Speaker 1>But there is someone here that, whether you like it

0:29:53.760 --> 0:29:56.480
<v Speaker 1>or not, you have developed feelings for someone else and

0:29:56.520 --> 0:30:00.040
<v Speaker 1>you want to explore that. I could almost guarantee. But

0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:01.920
<v Speaker 1>if you don't explore that and you get back with

0:30:02.000 --> 0:30:04.520
<v Speaker 1>your partner, that little seed is going to be in

0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:06.640
<v Speaker 1>the back of your head for a long time and

0:30:06.680 --> 0:30:09.720
<v Speaker 1>you're going to wonder what if. And I've done that before.

0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:11.600
<v Speaker 1>We've had a lot of people write in that say

0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 1>ten years later, they're still thinking about a what if

0:30:14.560 --> 0:30:16.760
<v Speaker 1>from when they were twenty like, this is quite common.

0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:19.840
<v Speaker 1>You're doing nothing wrong if you explore it, and it

0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:22.560
<v Speaker 1>sounds like you've got nothing to lose if you explore

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:25.240
<v Speaker 1>it with this new person and it doesn't work out, well,

0:30:25.280 --> 0:30:27.239
<v Speaker 1>I disagree. I think it does sound like she has

0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot to lose. I think it sounds like she

0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:31.320
<v Speaker 1>has her now current. Even though they're not back to

0:30:31.360 --> 0:30:33.840
<v Speaker 1>being in a serious relationship, they've made commitments to work

0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:36.920
<v Speaker 1>towards that. And I think once you've made those verbal commitments,

0:30:37.680 --> 0:30:39.720
<v Speaker 1>that means you're not having sex with other people or

0:30:39.720 --> 0:30:41.440
<v Speaker 1>you're not seeing other people. So I am going to

0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:45.200
<v Speaker 1>say the one thing you shouldn't do is monkey branch

0:30:45.440 --> 0:30:47.600
<v Speaker 1>or not be transparent. I think if you're going to

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:49.640
<v Speaker 1>pursue your friend and you're going to see what that is,

0:30:49.920 --> 0:30:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I actually think you do owe it to your long

0:30:52.160 --> 0:30:54.720
<v Speaker 1>term partner to say, hey, I want to hold the

0:30:54.720 --> 0:30:57.840
<v Speaker 1>brakes on this, because if you've made a commitment that

0:30:57.880 --> 0:31:00.840
<v Speaker 1>you're not seeing anybody else, don't break that commitment. Oh,

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:02.920
<v Speaker 1>if you've made a commitment, yeah I'm not don't cheat

0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:05.120
<v Speaker 1>on him. Fuck No. I don't advocate that ever, of course,

0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:08.000
<v Speaker 1>but she said in invertise commas, we're seeing each other again,

0:31:08.080 --> 0:31:11.120
<v Speaker 1>it's not serious. You need only you're gonna know if

0:31:11.160 --> 0:31:14.120
<v Speaker 1>you're cheating. If you're doing this, he's gonna think you're cheating.

0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 1>You don't do it, and you know where that line lies.

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:17.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, you don't need us to tell you what

0:31:17.960 --> 0:31:20.400
<v Speaker 1>that is and you don't need If it's a gray area,

0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:23.680
<v Speaker 1>then it's probably wrong, you know, absolutely. But if you

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:25.640
<v Speaker 1>know that you're both in a point where you're like

0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:28.200
<v Speaker 1>just feeling it out, you're doing your own thing, you're independent,

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:30.200
<v Speaker 1>you don't talk every day. If you know that if

0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:32.560
<v Speaker 1>you hooked up with this new person that it's going

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:35.120
<v Speaker 1>to be okay, I would say explore it. Even if

0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:36.760
<v Speaker 1>you just kiss the guy, Like even if you just

0:31:36.800 --> 0:31:38.560
<v Speaker 1>get that just to see if there is a spark

0:31:38.640 --> 0:31:40.280
<v Speaker 1>or a feeling, you might kiss him and be like,

0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:42.320
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, you want my back. That was the

0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:44.800
<v Speaker 1>sloppiest thing I've ever experienced. And you are in the

0:31:44.880 --> 0:31:47.200
<v Speaker 1>friend zone, Buddy, Burdon. I kiss my friend once and

0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:48.320
<v Speaker 1>it was the worst thing ever did. It was like

0:31:48.360 --> 0:31:51.320
<v Speaker 1>kiss my brother. I was like, it was like my brother,

0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>get off me. It was discussing. But yeah, like that's

0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:56.280
<v Speaker 1>a whole other story I did. It was actually my

0:31:56.280 --> 0:31:59.200
<v Speaker 1>brother's really good friend. Sorry bro, but that's irrelevant. So

0:31:59.240 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 1>I think, like, only you're gonna know if you're doing

0:32:00.840 --> 0:32:02.360
<v Speaker 1>the wrong thing by hooking up with him. But I'm

0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:05.840
<v Speaker 1>a big advocate, like we have a whole lifetime to

0:32:05.920 --> 0:32:09.200
<v Speaker 1>be with someone, if you're unsure right now, you need

0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:11.800
<v Speaker 1>to figure it out. If kissing this guy or looking

0:32:11.800 --> 0:32:13.080
<v Speaker 1>out with this guy is going to help you figure

0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:14.600
<v Speaker 1>it out. I think that that's what you should do,

0:32:14.640 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 1>and that's just personal as long as you're not crossing

0:32:16.400 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 1>boundaries and hurting anyone's feelings and doing the wrong thing.

0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:21.920
<v Speaker 1>And the big red flag to me, the big red

0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:24.040
<v Speaker 1>flag that like I can't overcome on this and why

0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, look, you should go and pursue your friend,

0:32:26.320 --> 0:32:30.000
<v Speaker 1>is that after spending eight years with someone, having a

0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:33.040
<v Speaker 1>year apart, and then coming back together, you should be

0:32:33.080 --> 0:32:35.080
<v Speaker 1>damn certain that's the person you want to be with.

0:32:35.360 --> 0:32:37.680
<v Speaker 1>This shouldn't be ambiguous to you. You should be like,

0:32:37.720 --> 0:32:40.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what, we're getting back together because I absolutely

0:32:40.680 --> 0:32:42.120
<v Speaker 1>know that you're the person I want to be with

0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:44.400
<v Speaker 1>and I want to spend my life. And the fact

0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:47.480
<v Speaker 1>that you're still not sure makes me think that you're

0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:49.560
<v Speaker 1>playing this safe because you don't want to be alone.

0:32:50.520 --> 0:32:52.800
<v Speaker 1>That's that was harsh, all right, half club here at

0:32:52.840 --> 0:32:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Life Uncut anyway, guys, that's it for another episode of

<v Speaker 1>like patient hair, like be about how to spell halipino,

0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:15.280
<v Speaker 1>about you know what. Personally, I prefer it wasn't that.

0:33:15.360 --> 0:33:17.560
<v Speaker 1>But if that's your biggest problem of your life. Actually,

0:33:17.600 --> 0:33:19.480
<v Speaker 1>if that's the biggest problem in your life, you're doing okay.

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to hear that. Or how to spell champagne.

0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I always get it wrong to say champagny. I feel

0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:26.480
<v Speaker 1>like no one knows how to spell champagne, but we

0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:32.000

0:33:32.040 --> 0:33:33.880
<v Speaker 1>like I have. Every time I write those, I say

0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:35.920
<v Speaker 1>it in my head. I'm like Wednes's Day, February are

0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:38.840

0:33:38.880 --> 0:33:41.080
<v Speaker 1>do it, every single person goes fuck. Does everyone else

0:33:41.120 --> 0:33:42.640
<v Speaker 1>know how to spell these words? And I don't know why?

0:33:42.760 --> 0:33:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh yacht, that's a hard one to spell. No wish
