<v Speaker 2>Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land. This episode was

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:23.439
<v Speaker 2>recorded on Cameragle Land. Hi guys, and welcome back to

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:24.760
<v Speaker 2>another episode of Life Uncut.

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm Laura, I'm Brittany, and this is therapy Thursday. Ask

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 1>gun Cut, were you writing your deepest, darkest burning questions?

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.839
<v Speaker 2>We answer, we do our best. I need some therapy

0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 2>after last night.

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 1>There it be full stop, not just after last night,

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I do.

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what? We advocate for therapy a lot

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 3>on here.

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 2>We're always talking about how it's so good for people,

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 2>but then we don't go and get there like we should.

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I should go to a regular therapist.

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I was for quite a while post breakup with you

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>know who.

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:53.480
<v Speaker 3>The man who.

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>No, actually that makes it sound like he was bad Jordan,

0:00:58.120 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>my ex, you all know him. I went to therapy

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>after that because I needed therapy after you. It's a

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>rough time.

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 3>You really did need therapy after that.

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>But I haven't been in ages and it's wrong because

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>you don't or shouldn't just go to therapy when like

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>something happens and you need it. Although that's how I

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>took that situation, but there are so many people that

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>experts that say, you know, your brain is also a

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>muscle that you need to look after and exercise, whether

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>it's at its high or at it's low. So people

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>should be going to like constant, weekly or monthly therapy

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:31.680
<v Speaker 1>just for like maintenance.

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Look, I don't actually need therapy because of what happened

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 2>to me last night. Please don't come for me for

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 2>using therapy as a joke. And I shouldn't joke about it,

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 2>but I last night. So at the moment, I don't

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 2>know if you've heard this in the news, brut and

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 2>I know that you're very abreast of what's happening in

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 2>the news. There is a plague of gastro that's going around,

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Like gastro is like the worst it's ever been in Australia.

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 3>At the moment, gastro at an all time high. Have

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 3>you heard this?

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Sorry, I was waiting for you to tell me. Well,

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>is that it? You just wanted to give me the

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>news headline on gastow.

0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't need to I don't need to read the

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 2>news about the gastro. And you want to know why

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 2>because she because the burn Johnson household is riddled with gastro. No,

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 2>the adults don't have it, just the kids. So it

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>absolutely railed Lola. And now Marley has gastro.

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought that you guys got gastro all time. No,

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>in my head, when someone plays a word association game,

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>they go Laura, I go gastro.

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 3>Hold on.

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 2>This does feel very familiar. No, okay, this is what

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 2>happened to me. So Lola has been sick for about

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 2>four days now. She's in pretty good spirits for a

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 2>kid who's like, you know, shooting out of both ends.

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 2>But every so often she'll just be like playing around

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 2>and then she goes, oh, my tummy hurts, vomb Oh my

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.959
<v Speaker 2>tummy hurts, like explosive diarrhea.

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Like no warning, no time to get anywhere.

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 3>It's just like it's there.

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 2>No warning for the vomits, but plenty of warning for

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 2>the diary. All right, good, plenty of warning. She's three,

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 2>so she's like pretty well and truly toilet trained.

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 3>Do you toilet?

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Is it potty trained? Toilet trained? That kind of feels

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 2>very like animal association, like she uses a toilet, she

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 2>uses a toilet, she's trained to use a toilet. At nighttime,

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 2>she still wears a nappy because, like you know, and

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 2>the drinks at nighttime.

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Things still happens.

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, it was the middle of the night last night,

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 2>and every night she still gets into our bed, like

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 2>every single night without fail. So about two o'clock, I

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 2>either hear her crying in her room and she wants

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>me to come physically pick her up and carry her

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 2>to my room, or she'll like make her way to

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>the side of the bed and then kind of winge

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.239
<v Speaker 2>until I pick her up and pull her into bed.

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.119
<v Speaker 2>So she comes into the room and she's like, she's

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 2>kind of half crying, and I was like, baby, come here,

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 2>and I picked her up. And as I picked her

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 2>up and pulled her into the bed and pulled her

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.359
<v Speaker 2>into my sheets and my blanket.

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>She goes, mummy, I wet myself.

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh, sweetheart, it's okay.

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 2>And then as she was saying mummy, I wet myself,

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 2>I realized that in fact, she did not wet herself.

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>She was a human burrito of shit.

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, when you get Guzman and Gomez and then

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 2>all the sauces come out at the bottom.

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>No one listening needs the visual, like, well, let me

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>tell you the source.

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, and truly came out the bottom because I took

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 2>her into the bathroom and she had shit everywhere up

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 2>her back to her neckline, down to her ankles. It

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 2>was like she was encased and it was everywhere. It

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 2>was in my bed, it was on my sheets, it

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 2>was in her sheet.

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 3>You just give up.

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>How have you not got it when she basically bombed

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>in you in your mouth? Because sometimes they just take

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>down the kids.

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Apparently, this gastro strain that's going around Australia at the

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 2>moment is just like taking down the little kids.

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 3>And adults are being pretty scott free.

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 1>I swear to God, every time I think, oh yeah,

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I think I might want a kid, you pull me

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>back down to the ground, Laura. You you kick my

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.039
<v Speaker 1>legs out from underneath me, and then you stump on

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 1>me while I'm on the ground.

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:40.719
<v Speaker 2>To be fair, it's physically taking out the kids, but

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 2>it's emotionally taking out the parents.

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, I don't know what's worse. Shooting yourself, No,

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 1>emotions are bad. Shooting yourself constantly is worse.

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:51.479
<v Speaker 3>This is the highs and loads.

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:59.479
<v Speaker 1>You just called me brisket, pretty titty hungry brisket, hey Bridge, that's.

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>What happens when you have no sleep. I have fucking slept, guys, anyway,

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.479
<v Speaker 2>So that's where I'm at. I know I don't actually

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.280
<v Speaker 2>need therapy, but I'm on the edge of a lot

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>of things at the moment.

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm all seriousness. I'm not just saying this, but I

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 1>think you might actually like it could actually help you

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:13.720
<v Speaker 1>with ave sis stuff.

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Anyway.

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, I haven't had anything hugely event for but I

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:19.600
<v Speaker 1>have been having a bit of a laugh. So Ben

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>and I are in the very early stages of wedding planning, which.

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:25.919
<v Speaker 2>You've been in the early stages of wedding planning for

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:26.719
<v Speaker 2>twenty years.

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.479
<v Speaker 1>No, I haven't. I've never planned my wedding. I've never

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>been a person that saves wedding dresses, that thinks of

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>what they want like, I've never been that person.

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 2>How many ring photos did you have saved in your

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>in the folder of your saved images in Instagram?

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 1>A lot?

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.599
<v Speaker 3>It is very helpful. That's not a criticism. That was

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:43.479
<v Speaker 3>really good for me.

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:47.480
<v Speaker 1>But I genuinely, honestly am telling you this I started

0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 1>saving rings for the first time six eight months ago. Like,

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:52.599
<v Speaker 1>when I knew I was going to marry Ben, I

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.719
<v Speaker 1>wasn't one of those girls that grew up dreaming of

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the pick a fence and the Yeah, no, neither, do

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? Like, there are people that

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.279
<v Speaker 1>have had their kids day picked out since they're fifteen

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and the ring and there's nothing wrong with that. It's

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.840
<v Speaker 1>not me. I'm also not a planner, so like the

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>thought of trying to plan his wedding is a disgusting

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 1>so overwhelming for me. But anyway, I said to Ben,

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 1>let's just start the very early planning, like the big

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.040
<v Speaker 1>things like what do you want from a wedding? How

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>do you see it? So we started to have that

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 1>discussion and I was like, let's just see if we're

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 1>on the same page. You know, the things like do

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.160
<v Speaker 1>you want to sit down or do you want to

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.720
<v Speaker 1>stand up? Do you want a church inside wedding somewhere?

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Do you want an outside wedding? You know those things

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>that are like you don't need to have a planner

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:30.840
<v Speaker 1>or be booking stuff. It's just let's see we're on

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the same page.

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Also, the size, Yeah, if you want to have a

0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.039
<v Speaker 2>big after party. Do you want to be casual? Do

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 2>you want it to be formal?

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 3>I get it.

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 1>So I said to him, Ben, what do you let's

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>talk about like the big stuff. Just see if we

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>see on the same page. What are the big things,

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 1>like the most important things that you see at your wedding.

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>And there was a moment of silence and he looks

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 1>off and he thinks. And I was like, oh, he's

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 1>really thinking about this. And he looks back down and

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.719
<v Speaker 1>he goes, I just really want that stick thing that

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 1>you waddle in your hands.

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.039
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, what the share don't they do? And I was

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 3>like I was like sorry what.

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 1>He's like, yeah, this stick that you wattle. I was like,

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:06.839
<v Speaker 1>the stick that you wattle?

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 3>What are you talking about?

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 1>And I'm trying to think of the big stuff and

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm like the stick that you waddle and he's like, yeah,

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, you you wattle it around, isn't that?

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 3>And I said think that that's a cultural thing.

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>It's not. I said, do you mean a sparkler and

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>he was like yeah, I said a sparkler and he's like, yeah,

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the thing that you like, Oh my god. I was like, okay, babe,

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I can do a sparkle for you. First of all,

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 1>it's got a sparkle. It's not a stick. You wattle.

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 3>I was like, what is wattle.

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 1>He's like, oh no, I think it's an English translation.

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, no one wattles anything. But I was like, yeah, babe,

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>that's fine.

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what this means? We need a wedding

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 3>plan you? This means you organizing a wedding. That's what

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 3>I've come to realize.

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I was like, this is us trying to break down

0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>the big stuff, and the first and only thing that

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 1>you want is a sparkler.

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 3>I was like, babe, I've got you covered.

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:55.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have so many wattles there for you plas

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:56.840
<v Speaker 1>his soul. And then in my head I was like,

0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm fucked. I'm going to plan this whole wedding. So

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 1>that's about as far as we got. We got some spucks.

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 2>I always find it interesting because so many men they

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 2>plan the engagement, but then they haven't thought passed the

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.239
<v Speaker 2>engagement to a wedding at all, and so the buck

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 2>often and I don't want to be like stereotyping here

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 2>because I know it can be different nor relationships, but

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 2>often It's like I did the engagement and then kind

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 2>of they're planning preparation, handwiping happens like like just finishes

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 2>there and then the baton has passed to the woman

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 2>in heterosexual relationships to do the rest of the work,

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 2>and that kind of sucks.

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I will also be passing the baton.

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 3>To a wedding else. Please do this all right?

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, look before we get into answering your questions today,

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:41.559
<v Speaker 2>we do have our lives and our unsubscribes.

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 3>Brittany, what is yoel vibe?

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, It's a Netflix movie called The Beautiful Game, which

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 1>is basically about the Homeless World Cup football competition. So

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the movie is fictional, but it's based on a real story.

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:56.439
<v Speaker 1>And I only knew it was based on a real

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 1>story after I watched it and thought, I wonder if

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>this is real, had to.

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:00.840
<v Speaker 3>Go google it.

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.199
<v Speaker 1>So, long story short, every single year all around the

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 1>world is like fifty countries they do a Homeless World

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Cup where the only criteria is you need to be homeless,

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:14.559
<v Speaker 1>and it's really for shining a light on social marginalization

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and what people are going through all over the world,

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.440
<v Speaker 1>but trying to find them A source of happiness because

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these homeless people around the world get

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.839
<v Speaker 1>together and they play street football, you know, like even

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.199
<v Speaker 1>famous football athletes. Now you hear a lot of them

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.439
<v Speaker 1>saying they started in poverty playing on the streets and

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 1>they have amazing skills. So what happens is all around

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 1>the world every year they get a team of homeless

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>people that play football that are really good and they

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>go and compete against each other in the Homeless World Cup.

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 1>And it was just such a beautiful film that did

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 1>have a wonderful ending, Like it's sad because you know

0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 1>that these people are really homeless and they are really struggling,

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.680
<v Speaker 1>but it's really beautiful to show how happy they are

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.679
<v Speaker 1>by feeling that can they're included in something and they

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>connected and a sense of purpose and like seeing them

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 1>achieve their dreams. Because I googled it and in reality,

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 1>thousands of people go to watch these Homeless World Cups

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and they're cheering for their country and they just feel

0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 1>like they have a purpose.

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 2>It makes you a question like how and where does

0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.200
<v Speaker 2>the funding come from to allow for this, because if

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 2>people are homeless and they're unable to support themselves, then

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.199
<v Speaker 2>I would say that they're very unlikely that they're in

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.200
<v Speaker 2>a financial position where they're able to go and play

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 2>in any sort of World Cup.

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Absolutely, and most of it, you know, just for

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 1>my own curiosity how to look, but most of it

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:30.880
<v Speaker 1>is funded externally from sponsors and the FIFA Foundation put

0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.679
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of money in. But my understanding is

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.719
<v Speaker 1>the accommodation and food and things like that, and their

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.920
<v Speaker 1>entries are all covered when they're there. But my understanding

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 1>is they need to fund themselves their team to get there.

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 1>And the teams are quite small. It's not a full

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.199
<v Speaker 1>football field. It's like five or six players on a side,

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 1>so they're smaller. But it is an incredible film, Like

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I can't stress enough for you guys to watch it,

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 1>The Beautiful Game on Netflix. You will froth it.

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.080
<v Speaker 4>My rope of the week is it's a podcast. It

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 4>is called The Rest is Entertainment. It is hosted by

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 4>two British people that are in their fifties, so it's

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 4>got a little bit of a more mature and definitely

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.480
<v Speaker 4>smarter than me essence to it.

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 3>It's just because someone's older doesn't make me smarter.

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.680
<v Speaker 4>These people are definitely smarter than me, so it's hosted

0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 4>by the author and he's also a TV producer. He's

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.199
<v Speaker 4>been in media and entertainment for a very long time.

0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:27.360
<v Speaker 4>Richard Osman, the name of the author didn't completely ring

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 4>a bell to me, but then when I saw the

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 4>cover of his books, he's that one that has the

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:32.360
<v Speaker 4>fox on his books.

0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure he's written. Oh yeah, yeah, he's like

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 3>very well.

0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Known, very established author.

0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 4>And the other host is a journalist and a columnist

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.679
<v Speaker 4>for The Guardian called Marina Hyde. It's a pop culture

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.600
<v Speaker 4>and politics based podcast, but because they're based in the UK,

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 4>it has a particular focus on British politics and this

0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 4>week the episode that they released is called which Dumped

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.320
<v Speaker 4>Tory Will Do Strictly, which is not something that a

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 4>lot of Australians would be interested in. But the first

0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 4>thing that they spoke about was Jill Biden doing the

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.680
<v Speaker 4>cover of you Vogue, and they broke down how much

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 4>of like these political kind of things that intertwine with

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 4>media and with.

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Pop culture coverage.

0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 4>You know, a lot of the first ladies of the

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 4>United States have done US Vogue and they spoke about

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 4>how that has evolved over time, like started as a

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 4>puff piece and now it's something that people are like, Oh,

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't really think you should be doing this. They

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 4>spoke about Glen Powell, Sidney Sweeney, they spoke about Sabrina Carpenter,

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 4>and then they went into the last segment that was

0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 4>all about the UK election and how they've now got

0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 4>a new prime minister. It was super, super interesting if

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 4>you're into that kind of thing. I know that some

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 4>people are into politics and others really really aren't, but

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 4>I found that I learned a lot, and I learned

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 4>about stuff that I wouldn't usually listen to, even though

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 4>they're the fields of interest of mine, if that makes sense.

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like a weird mix, like Sabrina Carpenter to Joe Biden. Yeah,

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>that's what I like.

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.439
<v Speaker 3>It's definitely politics, but make it fluffy.

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.200
<v Speaker 1>God, it's more like politics, but make it different to

0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.079
<v Speaker 1>what I'm used to listening to about politics, because it

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>sounds like they're trying trying to make it more like

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 1>snack size or more interesting to people that probably wouldn't

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 1>be interested in politics. So it's like, let's suck you

0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 1>in with some pop culture and then sprinkle our political

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:11.680
<v Speaker 1>agenda in there too.

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:13.680
<v Speaker 3>Brilliant.

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I really like it.

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 4>It's called The Rest Is Entertainment. It is a podcast

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:18.440
<v Speaker 4>that you can find anywhere.

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm going to make mine quick minus recommendation for parents.

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.840
<v Speaker 2>I feel like one of the hardest thing to find

0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 2>is to find good babysitters or if you're looking for

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 2>a nanny, a good nanny, because also not only is

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.440
<v Speaker 2>it hard, it's also like something that feels really risky

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:38.480
<v Speaker 2>because most people don't feel comfortable or confident in choosing

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 2>someone who's outside their network to take care of their kids,

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.200
<v Speaker 2>which is obviously how pretty much every parent feels. There

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 2>is an app it is called Juggle Street, and we

0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 2>were recently in the position so we have help in

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 2>the mornings with Male and Lola, simply because we start

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 2>working so early and it was just last year was

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 2>such a huge year for Matt in terms of him

0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.440
<v Speaker 2>having to carry the parenting load, and so to help us,

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 2>we hired a friend who was coming and she was

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 2>doing the mornings to help get the girls to daycare.

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 2>But she's recently just left to have a baby, So

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 2>we were in a position I was like, you already

0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 2>have to why do you need drive, why do you

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 2>need another one?

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Hurry back from Tony, you can bring your baby.

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 2>So she left us and we had to try and

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 2>find a new I mean, I wouldn't call her a nanny,

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.760
<v Speaker 2>but it's kind of more than a babysitter, and so

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 2>juggle Street was something that was recommended to us. It's

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 2>an app. You have to pay for a subscription. I

0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 2>think it's around ninety dollars. But by paying for it,

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 2>you have to verify that you're a family and then

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 2>you have access to all verified daycare workers and babysitters,

0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 2>people who have their health and safety checks, they have

0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.040
<v Speaker 2>all of their insurances, they're working.

0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.480
<v Speaker 3>With kids, certificates, all of that stuff.

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 2>A lot of them are actually daycare workers who are

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 2>looking for some extra hours of babysitting in the evenings

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 2>or whatnot. And basically you go on you post a job.

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.120
<v Speaker 2>It could be like I need a babysitter for four

0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 2>hours on Monday night, and then you can go in

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 2>and you can act send your job to people's profiles,

0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 2>specific people who you've gone and vetted yourself. So you

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 2>might pick fifty people and send the job to them

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 2>and they can say whether they do or don't want

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.360
<v Speaker 2>to do the job. And we found our new babysit

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 2>are on there who we are using. I just think

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 2>it is really hard to find quality care and at

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 2>least this gives you a little bit more control over

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 2>the process and you're not just posting on any public

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 2>forums or having to rely on asking a friend necessarily

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.120
<v Speaker 2>or stealing a friends nanny or babysitter.

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:28.600
<v Speaker 3>So it's called juggle Street.

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 2>It's an app, and I've paid the ninety five dollars

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 2>for the subscription and I would recommend it, So if

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 2>you do take that choice, I mean, I know it's expensive,

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 2>but the last thing I want to say about this

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.120
<v Speaker 2>one specifically is I have used lots of apps, Like

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I've used lots of online forums. I've done the due

0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 2>diligence around trying to find something that's like suitable and

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.360
<v Speaker 2>really not just use it friendly, but like active because

0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot of these apps, often a lot of the

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 2>profiles are old, like these are all people who have

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:53.560
<v Speaker 2>been active within the day, you know what I mean,

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.160
<v Speaker 2>So you know that they're people who are actually looking

0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 2>for work. And I just think that this is the

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.160
<v Speaker 2>best one by far that I've used. So that's my

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.240
<v Speaker 2>recommendation for any parents out there. I hope you enjoy it.

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 2>I know it's expensive, but I do think it is

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 2>worth it. Let's get into your questions.

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Question number one. I've moved back to the town I

0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:14.040
<v Speaker 1>grew up in and had a situation where I recognized

0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 1>a trade that came to our property. I had slept

0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 1>with him. I didn't mention it to my husband, but

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:21.800
<v Speaker 1>then I had a thought that maybe I should have

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.240
<v Speaker 1>told him. I would never lie if he asked me

0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.080
<v Speaker 1>out right, But now I don't know if I need

0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.200
<v Speaker 1>to divulge this information voluntarily.

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Also, imagine your husband, out of nowhere, zero contact, being

0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 2>like trade, Did you fuck the plumber?

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.560
<v Speaker 3>Like back in the like did you fuck that plumber

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 3>a decade ago?

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Did you like? He's never gonna ask if you fucked.

0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.120
<v Speaker 3>Of course you're not gonna lie to him, but he's

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 3>not gonna ask. Just to add, I.

0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Didn't speak to him at all, He didn't see me

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.280
<v Speaker 1>at all, and he won't be returning. It was purely

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.880
<v Speaker 1>a short fling, and it was so long ago. Who

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 1>knows if he even recognizes me. What are your thoughts?

0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 3>You don't need to tell him, you don't.

0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:56.800
<v Speaker 2>You don't need to tell I mean like you can

0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.440
<v Speaker 2>if some people have different relationships with their partners, right,

0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Like some partners are more jealous, or you know, they

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 2>have more insecurities around ex boyfriends, whatever, which is I mean,

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:08.960
<v Speaker 2>that's a whole weird thing in and of itself. But

0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.639
<v Speaker 2>some people do feel like that they're easily more insecure.

0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Other people, for example, just find it funny and find

0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.840
<v Speaker 2>it interesting to know, like who their now husband or

0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 2>partner has been with in the past. Like if Matt

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:21.640
<v Speaker 2>said that to me, if we had someone come over

0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.919
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know, service the pool once and he

0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.000
<v Speaker 2>was like, baby, you're never gonna believe this. I actually

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.359
<v Speaker 2>hooked up with her seven years ago. That would be

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.439
<v Speaker 2>an overlap nine years ago. If he hooked up with

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.200
<v Speaker 2>her seven years ago, I'd have an issue with it,

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.600
<v Speaker 2>But say, like before us, I wouldn't care, And I

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:37.639
<v Speaker 2>would kind of appreciate that he told me because I

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.040
<v Speaker 2>would feel like you but I wouldn't care, do you

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:40.480
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean?

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:41.720
<v Speaker 3>Like I would why would you want it?

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Like you're not gonna sit back and like the baby

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:48.200
<v Speaker 1>see that Bricky fucked him? Like what, okay, thanks bab,

0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 1>thanks for blame. Good eye buy it.

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I think look, if he was going to

0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 2>come to the house again.

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 1>If this was like an ongoing maintenance job.

0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.560
<v Speaker 2>If he was like your regular pool boy that was

0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 2>coming every Thursday, like.

0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 1>It maintained me ten years ago, you don't have to

0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:04.600
<v Speaker 1>come back and maintained.

0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, then I would say, Okay, he's probably worth mentioning

0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.720
<v Speaker 2>it to your husband and also maybe employing someone else.

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:11.800
<v Speaker 2>But the fact that he came to your house once

0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 2>you didn't speak to him, and he's gone and he's

0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:19.399
<v Speaker 2>never coming back. No, it is okay in relationships to

0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.760
<v Speaker 2>have some secrets, so long as they don't hurt the

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:23.439
<v Speaker 2>other person.

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's not.

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.560
<v Speaker 1>It's not a secret you're hooked up with him before

0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 1>your bartner like so many years ago. If he was,

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:31.640
<v Speaker 1>don't tell him.

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 3>No, kid yourself.

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Nothing good can come from you telling him now except

0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.680
<v Speaker 1>planting a thought inside your partner's head about you being

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.680
<v Speaker 1>with someone else unnecessarily. If he was frequenting the house,

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:43.520
<v Speaker 1>If this was a REHNTO that was going to take

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.080
<v Speaker 1>a year, and someone you had been with was going

0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:48.960
<v Speaker 1>to be inside your house after he was inside you,

0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 1>then yeah, you would probably have to say something.

0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.040
<v Speaker 3>But I mean, this happened to me the other day.

0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Actually, not this situation. But Ben was telling me that

0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:00.760
<v Speaker 1>he likes this musician this and he was playing the

0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.280
<v Speaker 1>song and he was like, I really like this guy.

0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:06.159
<v Speaker 1>It's such a vibe. And I didn't have to, but

0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:07.919
<v Speaker 1>I did. And I was like, oh, I hooked up

0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:10.280
<v Speaker 1>with him, but you didn't have to do that one.

0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.240
<v Speaker 1>That's my point. I didn't have to, but I was like, oh, well,

0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 1>now I know better. And I was like, oh, I

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.919
<v Speaker 1>hooked up with him so long ago, Like funny, you

0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.359
<v Speaker 1>ruined the music for him. Now then he unfollowed him

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and he won't listen to the music, and I was like, Ben,

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.240
<v Speaker 1>it was so long before. He's like out in my

0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.480
<v Speaker 1>head now and I was like, fair, I shouldn't have

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:29.640
<v Speaker 1>said that, And that I think is this situation right now,

0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Like this is the builder situation. He's never coming back

0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and if you need another reno, employ someone else.

0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.439
<v Speaker 2>This has similarities to me, and it's reminded me of

0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.760
<v Speaker 2>the time that I bought the sunscreen, so like I

0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:44.440
<v Speaker 2>used to use invisible zinc. I don't use invisible zinc anymore,

0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.000
<v Speaker 2>but I used to use invisible zinc and I bought

0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:48.119
<v Speaker 2>it and it was sitting.

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:48.919
<v Speaker 3>There in the bathroom.

0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 2>And then I found out that the model on the

0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:55.159
<v Speaker 2>bottle was the girl that Matt was dating prior to

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.200
<v Speaker 2>dating me. Yeah, and I don't know how I found

0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:58.679
<v Speaker 2>that out, but she was just sitting there in my

0:19:58.680 --> 0:19:59.840
<v Speaker 2>bathroom cabinet, and I was like.

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:01.639
<v Speaker 3>Ah, she's really beautiful.

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.840
<v Speaker 2>She's so beautiful that she's on the advertisement for how

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:05.840
<v Speaker 2>to protect your skin.

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:06.959
<v Speaker 3>That's how beautiful she is.

0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:08.280
<v Speaker 1>And I don't need to look at her in my

0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:09.159
<v Speaker 1>bathroom and SOA.

0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Then, look, I used to really love invisible zinc. I

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:13.399
<v Speaker 2>used to love how it makes you so glowy and

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:15.399
<v Speaker 2>also looks a little bit like you've got foundation on

0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:17.840
<v Speaker 2>when you're just wearing sunscreen. And now I don't wear

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:18.360
<v Speaker 2>it anymore.

0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:18.959
<v Speaker 1>It's funny.

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:19.760
<v Speaker 3>She ruined it.

0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:21.639
<v Speaker 1>She did ruin it. Yeah, but you do need to

0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:22.280
<v Speaker 1>protect your skin.

0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:23.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I use.

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Other sunscreen now, But look, I get it. I think

0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.439
<v Speaker 2>not that nothing good comes from it. I feel as

0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.359
<v Speaker 2>though Matt and I we share pretty much everything. I

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.200
<v Speaker 2>think if somebody came into my orbit in some way,

0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:36.760
<v Speaker 2>whether it was the pool guy or the plumber, I

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:39.280
<v Speaker 2>would probably tell Matt. But that's because we would laugh

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:42.320
<v Speaker 2>about this, and that's our relationship. Matt has told me

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:44.199
<v Speaker 2>and pointed out people that he's slept with in the

0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 2>past that it's always it's always caveatd almost with like

0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:50.439
<v Speaker 2>reasons why he wasn't that into them, and it was

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:52.800
<v Speaker 2>so bad in bed, so bad in bed.

0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:55.560
<v Speaker 3>So I don't know. I mean, I'm not completely against it.

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:57.560
<v Speaker 2>I do think it depends on your relationship, but I

0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 2>think it's unnecessary now after we days or however long

0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.000
<v Speaker 2>it's been to be like, hey, babe, remember several weeks

0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:05.719
<v Speaker 2>ago when that guy came to our house.

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:06.840
<v Speaker 3>Ps, I fucked him.

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 1>The only way no more, hang on. The only way

0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:15.800
<v Speaker 1>that this can end badly is if your husband or

0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:18.159
<v Speaker 1>partner loved the work that he did and then in

0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the future wanted to hire him back for work. Then

0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 1>you would have to tell him, and then it could

0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.240
<v Speaker 1>turn himTo something where I was like, why didn't you

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:25.960
<v Speaker 1>tell me that at the time. That's the only way

0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I can see this ending badly. But otherwise you seem

0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:30.719
<v Speaker 1>to be losing sleep about it. I would be sleeping

0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:33.200
<v Speaker 1>just fine. Okay, I have a question, A new one

0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:34.400
<v Speaker 1>question two.

0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:38.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm thirty five and in the dreaded dating scene fuck

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:40.600
<v Speaker 2>I hear it's rough now. I mean it was rough

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:41.000
<v Speaker 2>when I.

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:42.880
<v Speaker 3>Was dating, but I go, yeah, there's rough.

0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I've been ghosted suddenly after a few great dates

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 2>and what felt like a really good connection for me.

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:53.439
<v Speaker 2>How do I stop obsessing over what I may have

0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:55.919
<v Speaker 2>done wrong and what could have been I feel like

0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 2>this will make my dating anxiety even worse than it

0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:01.800
<v Speaker 2>already is, Like I'm losing all hope that I'll ever

0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 2>meet someone that actually likes me back.

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:08.680
<v Speaker 1>This breaks my heart, but this is something that everyone

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:12.080
<v Speaker 1>feels like, everyone at some point goes through something and

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:12.960
<v Speaker 1>it's funny to look back.

0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:14.720
<v Speaker 3>But I remember saying on this podcast, what's.

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Wrong with me? Like I'm the common denominator because I've

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:20.360
<v Speaker 1>been dating for however many years, however many dates, and

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:22.800
<v Speaker 1>it's always me, you know, like it doesn't work out,

0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:24.760
<v Speaker 1>so it's me. They go on and the next person,

0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:26.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I always said I was the one before

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:28.159
<v Speaker 1>the one. The next person they date they fall in

0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 1>love with, which makes it worse because you're like, it's

0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:34.800
<v Speaker 1>not that you weren't ready, it's just that, yeah, you lied,

0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:38.080
<v Speaker 1>you fucking well, you are ready because you're married, But

0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:42.080
<v Speaker 1>that hurts because you're getting to this really deep, very

0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:45.000
<v Speaker 1>unhealthy cycle of thinking that it's you. There's not a

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:48.119
<v Speaker 1>lot of advice around this other than you have to

0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:52.040
<v Speaker 1>tell yourself how many people there are in the world,

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the odds of you waking up, walking out, going on

0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:58.080
<v Speaker 1>a date for the first time to him being the

0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:01.080
<v Speaker 1>person marrying for forty five years. Like some people do

0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:04.000
<v Speaker 1>that and they meet their soulmates really really young, but

0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:07.320
<v Speaker 1>majority of people don't. And I think the only thing

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:09.920
<v Speaker 1>that you can tell yourself is that you don't want

0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:12.720
<v Speaker 1>to settle, you know what you're looking for, and then

0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 1>reually try and break down within yourself. Are you upset

0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:18.119
<v Speaker 1>because you thought that person was the one and they

0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:20.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't feel back, or are you just upset because you

0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:23.240
<v Speaker 1>just feel a little bit rejected and rejection hurt. No.

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:25.440
<v Speaker 2>I think also it's the feeling of misreading, Like when

0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:27.880
<v Speaker 2>you're invested in someone, you've gone on several dates with them,

0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 2>you think it's heading in a great trajectory, and then

0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:32.720
<v Speaker 2>they just all of a sudden fucking ghost you like, yeah,

0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:34.800
<v Speaker 2>of course, it's going to leave you with questions that

0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:37.359
<v Speaker 2>are unanswered and feeling as though you have done something.

0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:40.240
<v Speaker 2>I firstly want to validate what you're saying, because anyone

0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:43.159
<v Speaker 2>would feel as though they had done something wrong to

0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:46.399
<v Speaker 2>turn that person off. But I really really want to

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:50.440
<v Speaker 2>emphasize the fact and I strongly believe this someone ghosting

0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:53.680
<v Speaker 2>you says way more about them and where they probably

0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:56.000
<v Speaker 2>are in their life, Like he might have other girls

0:23:56.040 --> 0:23:58.600
<v Speaker 2>on the go, he might have other things happening that

0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:01.360
<v Speaker 2>have meant that you know, he couldn't be as invested

0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 2>in you as what you thought he was, And that's

0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:07.880
<v Speaker 2>not because you have misinterpreted it. So many people are

0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:10.639
<v Speaker 2>incredible at showing up when they're on a date and

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:14.120
<v Speaker 2>making you believe that they are completely invested in you,

0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:16.479
<v Speaker 2>that they're not interested in anyone else, that things are

0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:19.119
<v Speaker 2>going in such an incredible way, and then all of

0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 2>a sudden you feel like emotionally like you feel like

0:24:22.000 --> 0:24:24.480
<v Speaker 2>this emotional whiplash because all of a sudden they're not

0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:27.119
<v Speaker 2>interested in you and they're dating someone else. That is

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:30.199
<v Speaker 2>more about their personality and how they are able to

0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:32.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of switch it on and switch it off. So

0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 2>many people can do that and a lot of people can't.

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:38.080
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's that mismatch in when you are

0:24:38.200 --> 0:24:41.159
<v Speaker 2>all in and how and what they have going on

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:42.399
<v Speaker 2>in their personal lives.

0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:46.440
<v Speaker 1>But also remember how common, unfortunately, ghosting is, Like you

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:49.440
<v Speaker 1>are not a one off being ghosted here, Like, I mean,

0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:51.719
<v Speaker 1>how many times we've been ghosted, Laura? How many times?

0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Every single week we have people writing about ghosting like

0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:57.240
<v Speaker 1>it is ferocious, And I.

0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:58.879
<v Speaker 2>Want to say, like, you know, I mean I've ghosted

0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:01.080
<v Speaker 2>people in the past, which I've talked about it before,

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:04.359
<v Speaker 2>and it's definitely not something that I would ever do again.

0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Obviously hopefully have to gos my husband.

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 2>But I understand now at my age and at this point,

0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:13.640
<v Speaker 2>and also in how many episodes we've done on relationships,

0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:17.240
<v Speaker 2>how damaging it is to the other person. But usually

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:19.800
<v Speaker 2>it comes from a place of conflict avoidance, and it

0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:22.679
<v Speaker 2>comes from a place of that person's own insecurity or

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:25.440
<v Speaker 2>not wanting to deal with the repercussions. And I would

0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 2>say in every instance where I ghosted, not that there

0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:30.320
<v Speaker 2>was many, but in a couple of times that I did,

0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:33.200
<v Speaker 2>it was always because I had other big things going

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 2>on in my life and I was like, I can't

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:37.520
<v Speaker 2>deal with that, Like I can't deal with your hurt

0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 2>and your upset, and so I would like remove my

0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:42.800
<v Speaker 2>super selfish in no way. Am I negating the behavior,

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:45.560
<v Speaker 2>but I'm kind of explaining the thought process that often

0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:48.399
<v Speaker 2>happens with someone who's conflict avoidant and then they ghost.

0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:50.960
<v Speaker 2>The only other thing I want to say is, and

0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:52.880
<v Speaker 2>I know that I've been out of the dating pool

0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:55.080
<v Speaker 2>for a really long time, and there's nothing more fucking

0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:57.760
<v Speaker 2>infuriating than hearing someone who's like in a happy marriage

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 2>be like, just keep dating, you'll meet someone one day.

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 2>And obviously, Britt now like you are also in a

0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 2>happy relationship for a very long time there, like you

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:07.840
<v Speaker 2>were the one who was like waving the dating flag.

0:26:08.720 --> 0:26:11.359
<v Speaker 2>But what I do want to say is every single

0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:14.120
<v Speaker 2>person that I have spoken to recently who was in

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:16.560
<v Speaker 2>the dating pool and in the dating world. I mean

0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 2>just recently when we were in Bali, a friend of

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:20.720
<v Speaker 2>ours is currently dating, and she's like, you know what,

0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:23.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm just having some actual time off because I am

0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:28.480
<v Speaker 2>so exhausted by how constantly disappointed I am in men.

0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:30.439
<v Speaker 3>This is a heterosexual relationship.

0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:32.840
<v Speaker 2>But I want to say that you are not alone

0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 2>in feeling dating anxiety, because the dating world is very,

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:40.040
<v Speaker 2>very hard at the moment. People are extremely disposable in

0:26:40.080 --> 0:26:43.160
<v Speaker 2>how they treat other people. We're always looking for something better.

0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:45.800
<v Speaker 2>We always have multiple people on the go, and I

0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:48.440
<v Speaker 2>think that dating now is probably the hardest that it's

0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:48.920
<v Speaker 2>ever been.

0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:51.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and unfortunately we live in a world where and

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I completely understand why your anxiety builds with every year

0:26:56.160 --> 0:26:58.879
<v Speaker 1>because you're thirty five and your anxiety comes from a

0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of external pressures and internal pressures.

0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:01.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah's so hard.

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:04.879
<v Speaker 1>We have a biological clock. We can always say, you

0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:06.840
<v Speaker 1>don't settle, you do things when you want, don't rush.

0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Women are having babies older. That is all accurate, but

0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you cannot deny the fact that women's fertility runs out

0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:17.760
<v Speaker 1>really quickly. And I understand why women feel this extra

0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:19.960
<v Speaker 1>anxiety when they get to their mid thirties and they're single,

0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:22.479
<v Speaker 1>if they don't have children yet and they want them.

0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:24.320
<v Speaker 1>It is something that it is all you're going to

0:27:24.320 --> 0:27:25.160
<v Speaker 1>think about all day.

0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:27.880
<v Speaker 2>But I also think it comes down to being once

0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:30.240
<v Speaker 2>you're in that point of dating. So like if you're

0:27:30.280 --> 0:27:33.639
<v Speaker 2>thirty five, you know you want a relationship, You know

0:27:34.119 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 2>that you want to have kids one day, like not

0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:38.320
<v Speaker 2>everyone does, but if that's something that you know, it

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:41.719
<v Speaker 2>also comes down to being intentional about dating and not

0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of because I think we can all be very

0:27:45.200 --> 0:27:48.240
<v Speaker 2>very kind and try and make someone fit. You know,

0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:50.200
<v Speaker 2>they might be telling you to your face that they're

0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 2>not meeting you where you need to be met to

0:27:52.280 --> 0:27:54.760
<v Speaker 2>have all those things in life, but you might really

0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:56.439
<v Speaker 2>like them, and so therefore you try and make the

0:27:56.480 --> 0:27:59.720
<v Speaker 2>relationship fit. I think sometimes it's trying to divide your

0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:03.600
<v Speaker 2>fear from your mind and go, Okay, can this person

0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:06.000
<v Speaker 2>as much as I'm feeling really excited about this connection

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:08.520
<v Speaker 2>and this person, will this person give me those things

0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 2>that I want in life, And trying to be a

0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:12.720
<v Speaker 2>little bit intentional about dating as well, and not just

0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:15.680
<v Speaker 2>being led by your heart, because that's really important.

0:28:15.920 --> 0:28:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I think you can do that and still be ghosted.

0:28:17.640 --> 0:28:19.359
<v Speaker 1>Like I think that's what she's done. She said the

0:28:19.440 --> 0:28:21.800
<v Speaker 1>connection was forming, she felt it going well, and again

0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:24.160
<v Speaker 1>that's not on you, it's on them. But the last

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:26.520
<v Speaker 1>thing I want to say is it's completely up to

0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you how you take control of your life in this situation.

0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:32.800
<v Speaker 1>For me, I wasn't willing to settle, and I didn't

0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:35.639
<v Speaker 1>want to go down the track of kids alone, but

0:28:35.680 --> 0:28:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I did want to preserve the option, so that is

0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 1>why I did the egg freezing, and then I continued

0:28:41.640 --> 0:28:43.440
<v Speaker 1>in the dating world. I also took time off when

0:28:43.440 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I needed to. But I do want to say I

0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:48.800
<v Speaker 1>was thirty five when I met Ben, Like you're thirty five,

0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I was thirty five. I feel very lucky I met

0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 1>him at that age. But I wouldn't have said or

0:28:54.600 --> 0:28:56.280
<v Speaker 1>if I didn't meet him, if I didn't need to him,

0:28:56.280 --> 0:28:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I would have kept dating until I found the right person.

0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:00.800
<v Speaker 1>I do just want to say, don't let that anxiety

0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 1>get the better of you. And if your anxiety is

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:08.920
<v Speaker 1>surrounded in any capacity with children and fertility, maybe go

0:29:09.000 --> 0:29:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and have that initial fertility chat with a doctor and

0:29:11.800 --> 0:29:13.240
<v Speaker 1>see if there is anything you can do if you

0:29:13.280 --> 0:29:17.360
<v Speaker 1>haven't already done the egg freezing. Because the anxiety relief

0:29:17.680 --> 0:29:19.880
<v Speaker 1>that I felt, the weight off my shoulders when I

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:22.560
<v Speaker 1>did that, yeah, was huge. I still had a bit

0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 1>of anxiety about like am I going to be alone forever?

0:29:24.960 --> 0:29:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Like the standard thing that everyone feels, but it was

0:29:27.320 --> 0:29:29.840
<v Speaker 1>a weight off my shoulder and my anxiety was halved

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:31.880
<v Speaker 1>when I was like, cool, I've looked after myself in

0:29:31.920 --> 0:29:33.440
<v Speaker 1>that capacity. Let's just see what happens.

0:29:33.560 --> 0:29:36.440
<v Speaker 2>But also, there's nothing worse for the long term of

0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:39.720
<v Speaker 2>your life than settling in a relationship because you have

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 2>anxiety around being alone. Because imagine being fifty and waking

0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 2>up one day and going, holy fuck, I married that

0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:48.400
<v Speaker 2>hunk of shit, Like why did I do that?

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 3>And now I have not a whole life.

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like, you know, like a literal hunk of gastro

0:29:52.480 --> 0:29:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Why did I marry that person? You don't want to

0:29:54.360 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 2>be in that situation, And a lot of people do

0:29:56.880 --> 0:29:59.840
<v Speaker 2>find themselves there because they married someone who wasn't quite right.

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:01.000
<v Speaker 3>They wanted to make it fit.

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so that's yeah, that's definitely something I think we

0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:08.200
<v Speaker 1>all hang in there, hang in there, Okay.

0:30:08.320 --> 0:30:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Question number three.

0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I moved to a country to be with my partner.

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, what I feel like this is going

0:30:13.560 --> 0:30:15.040
<v Speaker 1>to be like me in the end. I moved to

0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:16.960
<v Speaker 1>a country to be with my partner. I have said

0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:19.040
<v Speaker 1>that it is really important for me to go back

0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:22.440
<v Speaker 1>home twice a year, which is a four hour international flight,

0:30:22.760 --> 0:30:26.000
<v Speaker 1>but it's also a four hour drive to the airport. Anyway,

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:28.640
<v Speaker 1>some of my friends and family mentioned that they reckon

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:31.520
<v Speaker 1>he should be contributing financially to me going home because

0:30:31.560 --> 0:30:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm the one that moved away. I've always just paid,

0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:36.560
<v Speaker 1>but it did get me thinking, and I think it

0:30:36.600 --> 0:30:39.920
<v Speaker 1>sounds reasonable that he helps me out. He makes significantly

0:30:40.000 --> 0:30:43.880
<v Speaker 1>more than me too, but he doesn't agree. Should note

0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 1>we've been together for a few years now and don't

0:30:46.360 --> 0:30:51.000
<v Speaker 1>have any shared finances. What do you guys think? I

0:30:51.000 --> 0:30:52.600
<v Speaker 1>definitely think he should be contributing.

0:30:52.760 --> 0:30:55.040
<v Speaker 2>I think flying home twice a year is a lot,

0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:58.000
<v Speaker 2>That's my honest opinion. I think two flights a year

0:30:58.200 --> 0:31:03.840
<v Speaker 2>international flights financially is a lot of money for most people.

0:31:04.920 --> 0:31:08.480
<v Speaker 2>So I would say one international flight and you both

0:31:08.520 --> 0:31:12.200
<v Speaker 2>contribute to that is totally fair. If you're wanting to

0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:14.840
<v Speaker 2>do more international flights, if you've got this like set

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:16.560
<v Speaker 2>idea that you want to do it twice a year,

0:31:16.880 --> 0:31:19.200
<v Speaker 2>then I would say personally, I'm like, okay, cool, fly

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:21.640
<v Speaker 2>as many times as you want, but maybe that second

0:31:21.680 --> 0:31:22.239
<v Speaker 2>flight is you.

0:31:22.320 --> 0:31:23.920
<v Speaker 3>But I do think you should be contributing to some

0:31:23.960 --> 0:31:24.920
<v Speaker 3>of this. Absolutely.

0:31:25.080 --> 0:31:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you guys are in a committed, long term relationship,

0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 1>You've moved overseas together. Just because you don't yet share finances,

0:31:30.680 --> 0:31:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't agree more. I do this with Ben, like

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:35.719
<v Speaker 1>when we started the relationship.

0:31:35.320 --> 0:31:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Ben and you split everything could do. Brit obviously travels

0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:40.200
<v Speaker 2>so much and you, guys, I fly.

0:31:40.520 --> 0:31:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Four to six times a year and we split it

0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:45.600
<v Speaker 1>so he'll only fly once or twice. But it doesn't

0:31:45.600 --> 0:31:49.680
<v Speaker 1>matter because it's about the relationship together. I'm flying to

0:31:49.720 --> 0:31:52.760
<v Speaker 1>see him because he doesn't have the ability to fly more.

0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I said at the very start, because it's easier for

0:31:56.720 --> 0:31:58.280
<v Speaker 1>me to say the start. You guys are different now

0:31:58.320 --> 0:31:59.760
<v Speaker 1>because you're a couple of years in, but it should

0:31:59.800 --> 0:32:01.680
<v Speaker 1>still be as easy. But before I got into it,

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:04.720
<v Speaker 1>I said, look, I'm happy to get into this long term,

0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:06.880
<v Speaker 1>but it's very obviously I'm going to have to do

0:32:06.920 --> 0:32:08.440
<v Speaker 1>most of the heavy lifting. Are you going to be

0:32:08.440 --> 0:32:09.880
<v Speaker 1>happy to split it and help each other out? And

0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:11.520
<v Speaker 1>he's like, yeah, of course, I want you to come

0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:13.040
<v Speaker 1>and see me. I'm going to make this work.

0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:15.840
<v Speaker 2>The only thing that's different about your situation, though, Britt,

0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 2>is that you're flying to see him to spend time

0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:22.520
<v Speaker 2>together as a couple, whereas this is flying to be

0:32:22.640 --> 0:32:24.719
<v Speaker 2>away from each other to spend time as a family.

0:32:25.120 --> 0:32:27.600
<v Speaker 2>So and I understand that that is very, very important

0:32:27.600 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 2>and some people are way more family orientated than others.

0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I definitely think he should be contributing somewhat,

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:36.520
<v Speaker 2>whether or not that's two flights or not. I don't

0:32:36.560 --> 0:32:38.760
<v Speaker 2>know that's something for you guys to agree on. But

0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:42.200
<v Speaker 2>you should not be fronting all of the travel when

0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:43.880
<v Speaker 2>you have been the one that has moved your life

0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:46.280
<v Speaker 2>over there. You've been the one to make all the sacrifices,

0:32:46.680 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 2>and you're the one who's homesick and missus your friends, missus,

0:32:49.200 --> 0:32:51.200
<v Speaker 2>your family, and missus the life and the identity that you.

0:32:51.240 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Used to have. Yeah, but you've also said to him

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:55.760
<v Speaker 1>before you moved, you know, you said, I told him

0:32:55.760 --> 0:32:57.480
<v Speaker 1>it was really important for me to go home twice

0:32:57.480 --> 0:32:59.280
<v Speaker 1>a year, Like if I'm going to move overseas with you,

0:32:59.320 --> 0:33:01.680
<v Speaker 1>that's part part of it. I think absolutely he should

0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:04.800
<v Speaker 1>pay for one flight. You've moved for him so you

0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:07.280
<v Speaker 1>guys can be together. So if you didn't move to

0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:09.680
<v Speaker 1>be together, you'd probably be flying twice to see him,

0:33:09.720 --> 0:33:10.680
<v Speaker 1>and he'd be contributing.

0:33:11.240 --> 0:33:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Also, I would mean, I don't want to like make

0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:16.320
<v Speaker 2>a big mountain out of mole hill here, but it

0:33:16.360 --> 0:33:19.960
<v Speaker 2>would piss me off if my partner who I lived with,

0:33:20.320 --> 0:33:24.880
<v Speaker 2>who I raised a financial question with, responded with I'm

0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:27.280
<v Speaker 2>not paying for that, Like, I'm not helping you with that,

0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:30.640
<v Speaker 2>especially when it came to something that contributed to our

0:33:30.680 --> 0:33:33.360
<v Speaker 2>relationship and something that was important to me. Like for me,

0:33:33.560 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that sometimes we're like it's a red flag,

0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:38.479
<v Speaker 2>it's an amber flag. It would worry me and concern

0:33:38.600 --> 0:33:41.000
<v Speaker 2>me about how he views money and the way in

0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 2>which he views what's his and what's yours, even though

0:33:43.520 --> 0:33:44.840
<v Speaker 2>you're in a relationship together.

0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:47.040
<v Speaker 3>That to me is an amber flag.

0:33:47.120 --> 0:33:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I would say, and I think that there's a lot

0:33:49.160 --> 0:33:51.959
<v Speaker 2>more conversations that the two of you need to have

0:33:52.000 --> 0:33:55.600
<v Speaker 2>about money, especially when your whole life is now revolving

0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:58.480
<v Speaker 2>around being where he is. I think finances probably should

0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:00.560
<v Speaker 2>be a little bit more shared in this intance, so

0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:02.920
<v Speaker 2>that you have a little bit more safety and not

0:34:03.040 --> 0:34:04.400
<v Speaker 2>so much independence of each other.

0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, I also think the conversation just has to be that,

0:34:07.280 --> 0:34:09.399
<v Speaker 1>just a simple conversation. But I think you're really tell

0:34:09.440 --> 0:34:11.600
<v Speaker 1>him why and make him understand. So you say, I

0:34:11.680 --> 0:34:14.560
<v Speaker 1>want this relationship to work, so I'm going to live

0:34:14.560 --> 0:34:17.360
<v Speaker 1>in this other country with you, but for this relationship

0:34:17.400 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 1>to stay healthy and me to stay happy over here,

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I not resent you and not resent you for making

0:34:22.000 --> 0:34:25.240
<v Speaker 1>me move. I need to be with my family twice

0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:27.200
<v Speaker 1>a year, like I think that twice a year when

0:34:27.200 --> 0:34:29.439
<v Speaker 1>you live overseas is fine. It's a four hour flight,

0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:31.919
<v Speaker 1>so it's not a twenty four hour flight. I think

0:34:31.920 --> 0:34:33.680
<v Speaker 1>that is absolutely fine. It's not like it's a twenty

0:34:33.680 --> 0:34:35.440
<v Speaker 1>four hour flight. It's like New Zealand. I guess, you know,

0:34:35.600 --> 0:34:37.480
<v Speaker 1>like that's to be fair, I missed that part. I

0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:38.799
<v Speaker 1>know I read it, but that or you read it,

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:40.279
<v Speaker 1>but I missed that. I thought it was like, okay,

0:34:40.280 --> 0:34:42.200
<v Speaker 1>if you're flying to Europe, that's expensive if it's a

0:34:42.200 --> 0:34:44.319
<v Speaker 1>four hour flight, like, just suck it up.

0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Past.

0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, Also, he earns more than you, so I think

0:34:46.040 --> 0:34:49.600
<v Speaker 1>just explain, like for us to stay successful in this relationship,

0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I need to go home and get my fix, my

0:34:51.960 --> 0:34:54.080
<v Speaker 1>emotional fix, fill my bucket with my family and friends,

0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:57.400
<v Speaker 1>and then come back and be amazing. But I can't

0:34:57.600 --> 0:35:01.000
<v Speaker 1>do that on my own. Yeah, and you earn more

0:35:01.040 --> 0:35:03.279
<v Speaker 1>than me, like throwing in a couple of bucks. You know,

0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:05.879
<v Speaker 1>That's what I think. And if you're gonna maybe there's

0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:08.080
<v Speaker 1>a conversation you need to have about finances as a whole,

0:35:08.120 --> 0:35:10.520
<v Speaker 1>like you are going to be in this committed relationship

0:35:10.560 --> 0:35:13.160
<v Speaker 1>with this person, have you had the financial chat because

0:35:13.160 --> 0:35:15.640
<v Speaker 1>it's so important. Are you going to be splitting finances

0:35:15.680 --> 0:35:18.320
<v Speaker 1>forever eventually? Are you gonna pull it for your bills

0:35:18.360 --> 0:35:20.160
<v Speaker 1>or a house or whatever else you want. Like, that's

0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:23.680
<v Speaker 1>a whole other conversation. But I don't think you're asking

0:35:23.719 --> 0:35:25.839
<v Speaker 1>for too much. If you wanted to fly home six

0:35:25.880 --> 0:35:28.479
<v Speaker 1>times a year, that's a different story. But if it's

0:35:28.520 --> 0:35:31.080
<v Speaker 1>one to two times a year, fine, he can pay

0:35:31.120 --> 0:35:31.799
<v Speaker 1>for half a flight.

0:35:32.040 --> 0:35:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree. I mean he might not think it's reasonable.

0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:36.680
<v Speaker 2>I think you need to have a pressure wrong, You

0:35:36.719 --> 0:35:38.359
<v Speaker 2>need to have a proper conversation about it. But yeah,

0:35:38.360 --> 0:35:41.760
<v Speaker 2>he's absolutely you play in this podcast. He is absolutely

0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:45.320
<v Speaker 2>in the wrong about this. Like, you're in a relationship together,

0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:47.680
<v Speaker 2>you share things. When you're in a relationship together, you

0:35:47.760 --> 0:35:50.560
<v Speaker 2>mutually support each other. And when it comes to finances,

0:35:50.600 --> 0:35:54.120
<v Speaker 2>if one person is constantly the one sacrificing more to

0:35:54.200 --> 0:35:56.960
<v Speaker 2>be able to have the relationship, then that is not fair.

0:35:57.000 --> 0:35:59.359
<v Speaker 1>There's also really little things that you can do that

0:35:59.480 --> 0:36:02.560
<v Speaker 1>make it fit not as big. So what if you said,

0:36:03.320 --> 0:36:06.600
<v Speaker 1>could we put an account together where we put in

0:36:07.040 --> 0:36:09.719
<v Speaker 1>thirty dollars each a week something like that, and over

0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the year you build up enough money. I'm pretty sure

0:36:12.200 --> 0:36:13.600
<v Speaker 1>if it's only a four hour flight. I'm trying to

0:36:13.600 --> 0:36:15.920
<v Speaker 1>think where around Australia is four hours. But it's going to.

0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Cover the flight it's flying Town's will it could be

0:36:18.160 --> 0:36:19.000
<v Speaker 3>a six hundred dollar flight.

0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:21.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So if you're putting thirty bucks in each a week,

0:36:21.719 --> 0:36:25.920
<v Speaker 1>probably doable. Whatever amount is right for you, guys financial situation.

0:36:26.160 --> 0:36:28.040
<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't feel as big of a hit then like, hey,

0:36:28.040 --> 0:36:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm booking a flight transferring me a thousand bucks, you

0:36:30.120 --> 0:36:31.640
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. So maybe it's something that you

0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:32.600
<v Speaker 1>can build up over the year.

0:36:33.200 --> 0:36:33.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:36:33.560 --> 0:36:35.120
<v Speaker 2>I also think if you've been in a relationship with

0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:38.399
<v Speaker 2>someone for years, it's time to have shared finances. You're

0:36:38.440 --> 0:36:41.000
<v Speaker 2>paying shared rent, you're paying for shared electricity, you're paying

0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:43.120
<v Speaker 2>for shared food, like, you're paying for shared things in

0:36:43.160 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 2>the house.

0:36:43.719 --> 0:36:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, i'd be interested.

0:36:44.560 --> 0:36:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, are you just buying two separate butters and then

0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:47.600
<v Speaker 2>you never share anything?

0:36:47.680 --> 0:36:50.239
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'd be interested to know what their situation is, like,

0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:52.520
<v Speaker 1>who's paying the rent? Are they splitting everything fifty to fifty?

0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm guessing that's probably everything's down the middle.

0:36:55.200 --> 0:36:58.360
<v Speaker 2>By the sounds of playing the pod, all right, okay,

0:36:58.440 --> 0:37:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Question number four, I met the greatest guy. Ever, my

0:37:02.360 --> 0:37:04.959
<v Speaker 2>family absolutely adore him and he treats me so well.

0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:07.560
<v Speaker 2>We are living in an apartment complex in a main

0:37:07.680 --> 0:37:10.680
<v Speaker 2>city where we had an external car park with allocated

0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:12.320
<v Speaker 2>parking very specific.

0:37:12.680 --> 0:37:13.520
<v Speaker 3>One day, on.

0:37:13.480 --> 0:37:15.520
<v Speaker 2>My way back to work, I noticed a note on

0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:18.279
<v Speaker 2>my windscreen. When I pulled over to read the note,

0:37:18.320 --> 0:37:22.200
<v Speaker 2>it said, he cheated on you, babe. I instantly thought, no,

0:37:22.280 --> 0:37:24.279
<v Speaker 2>this must not be for me. But as I got

0:37:24.320 --> 0:37:26.160
<v Speaker 2>to work and kept thinking about it, I started to

0:37:26.160 --> 0:37:28.640
<v Speaker 2>get upset. I told my boss that I wasn't feeling

0:37:28.640 --> 0:37:30.719
<v Speaker 2>well and that I had to go home. And when

0:37:30.760 --> 0:37:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I confronted my partner, I told him, if it's true,

0:37:33.360 --> 0:37:36.160
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about it, because I can appreciate people who

0:37:36.239 --> 0:37:39.560
<v Speaker 2>make mistakes. He remained very confident in saying that it

0:37:39.640 --> 0:37:42.399
<v Speaker 2>was absolutely not true and he was upset that someone

0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:44.759
<v Speaker 2>would do something like this. What are your thoughts on

0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:46.960
<v Speaker 2>this and what would you have done in this situation?

0:37:47.400 --> 0:37:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you believe the note that someone left on my

0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:52.919
<v Speaker 2>car without a contact name or number over someone you love?

0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Why are people such assholes? Yeah, people are assholes, but

0:37:57.480 --> 0:37:59.279
<v Speaker 1>they are good people out there too. This for me

0:37:59.680 --> 0:38:03.719
<v Speaker 1>is pre straightforward. If you're in a loving relationship and

0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:06.000
<v Speaker 1>you feel comfortable and you trust your partner and you

0:38:06.080 --> 0:38:08.840
<v Speaker 1>have there's no red flags, there's none of that gut

0:38:08.840 --> 0:38:11.719
<v Speaker 1>feeling bubbling that oh my god, this gout intuition, the

0:38:11.719 --> 0:38:15.440
<v Speaker 1>intuition that this could actually be true. Then absolutely no,

0:38:15.560 --> 0:38:17.799
<v Speaker 1>you don't believe a random note did someone's walk past

0:38:17.800 --> 0:38:22.279
<v Speaker 1>and put on your car like without doubt. No, if

0:38:22.320 --> 0:38:24.319
<v Speaker 1>you trust your partner, you've gone to him and said, hey,

0:38:24.360 --> 0:38:26.719
<v Speaker 1>I got this note, and he says, oh my god,

0:38:26.719 --> 0:38:29.760
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy, no way, what's your feeling in that situation?

0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:32.440
<v Speaker 1>And I say that because if that happened to me

0:38:32.520 --> 0:38:35.000
<v Speaker 1>right now with Ben, I would laugh. I would just

0:38:35.040 --> 0:38:37.120
<v Speaker 1>probably tell him and think it was funny because I

0:38:37.239 --> 0:38:40.000
<v Speaker 1>trust him wholeheartedly and I feel so safe and he

0:38:40.000 --> 0:38:42.279
<v Speaker 1>has never made me question that. If this happened with

0:38:42.400 --> 0:38:44.480
<v Speaker 1>my ex, who ended up being the sociopath with a

0:38:44.480 --> 0:38:48.359
<v Speaker 1>double life, I constantly felt uneasy like something was wrong

0:38:48.440 --> 0:38:51.439
<v Speaker 1>in that relationship. If I got that note in that relationship,

0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I probably would have thought that it was true.

0:38:54.239 --> 0:38:56.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that that is the only times in

0:38:56.760 --> 0:38:58.880
<v Speaker 2>which cheating happens. I think that a lot of people

0:38:58.920 --> 0:39:02.040
<v Speaker 2>get blindsided by cheat in their relationships and I understand

0:39:02.120 --> 0:39:05.120
<v Speaker 2>why this has made you feel uneasy, but I think

0:39:05.160 --> 0:39:07.759
<v Speaker 2>you were going to kill yourself with intrusive thoughts, and

0:39:07.800 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 2>you are going to potentially ruin a great relationship if

0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:14.840
<v Speaker 2>you give too much power to a note without any evidence,

0:39:15.120 --> 0:39:18.080
<v Speaker 2>and also to whoever left that note on your car,

0:39:18.239 --> 0:39:20.560
<v Speaker 2>and for anyone who has ever left a note like this,

0:39:21.560 --> 0:39:24.759
<v Speaker 2>it is really fucking cruel to do that without context.

0:39:24.760 --> 0:39:27.800
<v Speaker 2>So unless your reasoning behind it was just to cause

0:39:27.880 --> 0:39:30.040
<v Speaker 2>pain to everyone, to the person who was cheated on,

0:39:30.360 --> 0:39:33.719
<v Speaker 2>to the guide, to everybody in that situation, that's all

0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:37.279
<v Speaker 2>you've done. So if you want to tell someone that

0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:39.480
<v Speaker 2>they've been cheated on and you want to leave a note,

0:39:39.560 --> 0:39:42.680
<v Speaker 2>you have to do the due diligence of leaving a number,

0:39:42.760 --> 0:39:45.320
<v Speaker 2>of allowing some sort of follow up, or of allowing

0:39:45.320 --> 0:39:48.439
<v Speaker 2>some sort of context as to why.

0:39:48.480 --> 0:39:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Or even something that actually shows you know who they are,

0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:54.600
<v Speaker 1>none of his name or your name, babe, or could

0:39:54.640 --> 0:39:56.799
<v Speaker 1>be anything. He cheated on you at this location on

0:39:56.840 --> 0:39:58.400
<v Speaker 1>this day. So you're like, okay, well, how would you

0:39:58.480 --> 0:39:59.000
<v Speaker 1>have known you there?

0:39:59.080 --> 0:40:01.719
<v Speaker 3>Whatever it is, I want receipts, is what I'm saying.

0:40:01.880 --> 0:40:04.120
<v Speaker 1>But I understand what you're saying. Laura, cheating can happen

0:40:04.200 --> 0:40:06.239
<v Speaker 1>in safe relationships. Of course it can, That's not what

0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. But in this situation, you've got nothing to

0:40:08.520 --> 0:40:10.160
<v Speaker 1>go off. Totally no, but sorry.

0:40:10.160 --> 0:40:11.920
<v Speaker 2>What I was trying to get to is that I

0:40:12.040 --> 0:40:14.160
<v Speaker 2>understand why you would then take a note like that

0:40:14.320 --> 0:40:16.600
<v Speaker 2>and maybe allow your thoughts to run away with you.

0:40:16.640 --> 0:40:18.799
<v Speaker 2>But I'm trying to say, like, just don't allow that

0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:21.720
<v Speaker 2>to happen, because you could ruin a great relationship. Also,

0:40:22.080 --> 0:40:25.200
<v Speaker 2>you've had the conversation with your partner, who you have said,

0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:28.600
<v Speaker 2>in all respects is amazing. He has completely denied it,

0:40:29.000 --> 0:40:32.080
<v Speaker 2>which maybe that's what would happen if there was cheating.

0:40:32.120 --> 0:40:34.040
<v Speaker 2>But the thing is is all you can do now

0:40:34.200 --> 0:40:35.640
<v Speaker 2>is give him the benefit of the doubt.

0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Is trust.

0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Your relationship is trust the connection that you have with him.

0:40:39.440 --> 0:40:42.000
<v Speaker 2>And if something happens down the track or you find

0:40:42.040 --> 0:40:44.600
<v Speaker 2>out something else and then you start to put red

0:40:44.640 --> 0:40:47.600
<v Speaker 2>flags together, then that's a completely different story. But I

0:40:47.680 --> 0:40:51.600
<v Speaker 2>certainly would not be jeopardizing my relationship over one rogue

0:40:51.640 --> 0:40:53.239
<v Speaker 2>note that I found on my car.

0:40:53.360 --> 0:40:55.400
<v Speaker 1>It could have even blown off someone else's car onto.

0:40:55.280 --> 0:40:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Your car, I don't know, or it could be like

0:40:57.600 --> 0:40:59.200
<v Speaker 2>a scorned ex partner of his.

0:40:59.320 --> 0:41:00.880
<v Speaker 3>You know, it could be someone who.

0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Could be nothing a big teenager's plainer.

0:41:03.440 --> 0:41:04.400
<v Speaker 3>Totally, totally.

0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:07.680
<v Speaker 2>I think there's too many variables around what it could

0:41:07.760 --> 0:41:10.160
<v Speaker 2>be and who could have done it that I would

0:41:10.239 --> 0:41:14.480
<v Speaker 2>absolutely be prioritizing my partner over the note without context.

0:41:14.520 --> 0:41:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, they've got nothing left to do. Really, there's

0:41:17.800 --> 0:41:19.600
<v Speaker 1>no way that you're gotta find out if it's true.

0:41:19.840 --> 0:41:22.120
<v Speaker 1>You've asked him. The only thing you can go off

0:41:22.200 --> 0:41:25.000
<v Speaker 1>right now is your gut feeling on his response, Like,

0:41:25.320 --> 0:41:27.120
<v Speaker 1>was there a tell when he said no?

0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Of course not.

0:41:27.640 --> 0:41:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I would never was there something that seemed different or

0:41:29.640 --> 0:41:31.319
<v Speaker 1>seemed off? He's like, I never fucked that girl.

0:41:31.360 --> 0:41:32.040
<v Speaker 3>I swear I never.

0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Fucked Betty from the shop down the rad No. But like,

0:41:34.480 --> 0:41:36.720
<v Speaker 1>you know your partner, you love him, you said he's amazing.

0:41:36.840 --> 0:41:39.600
<v Speaker 1>How did you feel in the situation when he responded

0:41:39.600 --> 0:41:41.560
<v Speaker 1>to you, and how do you feel in the relationship overall?

0:41:41.640 --> 0:41:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Because your instinct right now is the only thing you've

0:41:44.719 --> 0:41:47.320
<v Speaker 1>got to go off. I would not let it interrupt

0:41:47.320 --> 0:41:49.560
<v Speaker 1>your relationship and continue on. And if there's any other

0:41:49.600 --> 0:41:52.399
<v Speaker 1>red flags in the future, then maybe you can take

0:41:52.400 --> 0:41:53.479
<v Speaker 1>a look at it them yeah.

0:41:53.520 --> 0:41:55.480
<v Speaker 2>I do want to say, though in validation of this,

0:41:55.719 --> 0:41:57.919
<v Speaker 2>not in validation that I think he's done anything wrong.

0:41:57.960 --> 0:42:00.439
<v Speaker 2>But I understand that if you're someone who has any

0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:02.719
<v Speaker 2>sort of anxieties or insecurities kind of like we were

0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:04.440
<v Speaker 2>talking about at the start around like do you tell

0:42:04.440 --> 0:42:07.400
<v Speaker 2>your partner or not about an ex fling, some people

0:42:07.440 --> 0:42:09.719
<v Speaker 2>would be more affected by receiving a note like this

0:42:09.840 --> 0:42:12.080
<v Speaker 2>than others, purely because maybe you've been cheated on in

0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:15.080
<v Speaker 2>the past and it's a big anxiety for you. I

0:42:15.160 --> 0:42:16.919
<v Speaker 2>think for me, if I saw a note like that,

0:42:17.520 --> 0:42:21.880
<v Speaker 2>my logical brain and everything else would be like absolutely bullshit,

0:42:22.000 --> 0:42:24.520
<v Speaker 2>like Matt would never But then some little part of

0:42:24.560 --> 0:42:27.279
<v Speaker 2>me would go like, oh.

0:42:26.520 --> 0:42:28.680
<v Speaker 3>Am I looking for signs? Am I feeling insecure?

0:42:28.680 --> 0:42:31.000
<v Speaker 2>It wouldn't last long, but I would definitely think that

0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:33.600
<v Speaker 2>it probably would hurt me a little bit because it

0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:35.719
<v Speaker 2>would pick at a It would pick at a wound

0:42:35.760 --> 0:42:37.480
<v Speaker 2>that still exists from all the things that have happened

0:42:37.480 --> 0:42:40.160
<v Speaker 2>in the past and all the insecurities I've had around relationships.

0:42:40.520 --> 0:42:43.520
<v Speaker 2>But I do think be really careful with your interestive

0:42:43.520 --> 0:42:47.080
<v Speaker 2>thoughts when it comes to your relationship, because thoughts are

0:42:47.120 --> 0:42:50.800
<v Speaker 2>not facts, and you absolutely can ruin something that's really

0:42:50.840 --> 0:42:54.520
<v Speaker 2>great by assuming or trying to believe or thinking that

0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:57.040
<v Speaker 2>you know what someone else has done or how they've

0:42:57.080 --> 0:42:59.120
<v Speaker 2>behaved without ever having any evidence.

0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:00.920
<v Speaker 3>I think you have to be really careful about that.

0:43:01.160 --> 0:43:04.239
<v Speaker 1>You can also say to your partner the truth, I

0:43:04.280 --> 0:43:07.680
<v Speaker 1>feel really uneasy, like I haven't stopped thinking about feeling, Like,

0:43:07.800 --> 0:43:10.240
<v Speaker 1>just just have a chat because he might do everything

0:43:10.280 --> 0:43:12.399
<v Speaker 1>he needs to do in that situation to put those

0:43:12.440 --> 0:43:14.680
<v Speaker 1>thoughts at ease and make you feel better, Like there's

0:43:14.680 --> 0:43:16.879
<v Speaker 1>nothing wrong with instead of accusing him, there's nothing wrong

0:43:16.920 --> 0:43:19.400
<v Speaker 1>with saying it's really rocked to me, Like, you know,

0:43:19.520 --> 0:43:22.040
<v Speaker 1>my logical self knows that you wouldn't do that, but

0:43:22.080 --> 0:43:24.719
<v Speaker 1>it's really made me feel uneasy for some reason, Like,

0:43:24.760 --> 0:43:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and maybe just talk through and see what his response is.

0:43:27.520 --> 0:43:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Just make sure in doing that you take a very

0:43:29.480 --> 0:43:32.200
<v Speaker 2>non accusatory stance because you know you're not trying to

0:43:32.239 --> 0:43:34.360
<v Speaker 2>catch him out, Like, yeah, I think, just be careful

0:43:34.360 --> 0:43:36.160
<v Speaker 2>with the way in which you have these conversations. But

0:43:36.560 --> 0:43:39.719
<v Speaker 2>definitely it's okay to tell him that it's made you

0:43:39.800 --> 0:43:43.120
<v Speaker 2>feel uneasy and for the way that you feel. But yeah,

0:43:42.560 --> 0:43:45.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean that sucks because people are assholes. And I

0:43:45.600 --> 0:43:48.440
<v Speaker 2>think that that's such an asshole note to leave on

0:43:48.480 --> 0:43:50.600
<v Speaker 2>anyone's car, whether it did or didn't happen. I think

0:43:50.600 --> 0:43:52.319
<v Speaker 2>that that is like the most asshole way to go

0:43:52.400 --> 0:43:52.759
<v Speaker 2>about it.

0:43:53.239 --> 0:43:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Pussy.

0:43:55.800 --> 0:43:56.840
<v Speaker 3>What kind of pussy?

0:43:57.600 --> 0:43:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Man? We just want a pussy? Do you know?

0:44:00.400 --> 0:44:02.960
<v Speaker 3>The left pussy puss? I hate that work. You want

0:44:02.960 --> 0:44:04.080
<v Speaker 3>to break up someone's relationship.

0:44:04.280 --> 0:44:07.920
<v Speaker 2>He's a tough whatave the name? What's that old quote

0:44:07.920 --> 0:44:11.960
<v Speaker 2>from the Lady Tough? No, She's like Betty White, Betty White.

0:44:11.960 --> 0:44:14.000
<v Speaker 2>It's like, why do they always say like a pussy?

0:44:14.040 --> 0:44:16.000
<v Speaker 2>She's like, pussies can take a beating something like that.

0:44:17.480 --> 0:44:19.680
<v Speaker 1>So tough. She's like, there's nothing more tough than a pussy.

0:44:19.719 --> 0:44:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I actually it's only in the street.

0:44:21.800 --> 0:44:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, not the saying, oh this is okay. Kejus pulled

0:44:25.640 --> 0:44:28.280
<v Speaker 2>it up. She said, why do people say grow some balls?

0:44:28.440 --> 0:44:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Balls are weak and sensitive. If you really want to

0:44:30.560 --> 0:44:33.040
<v Speaker 2>get tough, grow a vagina. Those things take a pounding.

0:44:33.160 --> 0:44:36.120

<v Speaker 1>In case you're wondering, yes, I'm wearing Ben's clothes again,

0:45:19.680 --> 0:45:21.719
<v Speaker 1>so if you've got a YouTube you can see that.

0:45:21.719 --> 0:45:23.640
<v Speaker 1>That's literally the only reason why people coming to see

0:45:23.640 --> 0:45:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Ben's wardrobe. Okay, actually I wore Ben's jacket on the

0:45:27.040 --> 0:45:29.600
<v Speaker 1>episode on Tuesday. I've never had more people in my

0:45:29.719 --> 0:45:32.239
<v Speaker 1>DMS asking me where that jacket is from. I may

0:45:32.280 --> 0:45:34.920
<v Speaker 1>as well tell you now, not sponsored. It is from

0:45:35.080 --> 0:45:37.880
<v Speaker 1>a site that I hadn't heard of until I met Ben.

0:45:37.960 --> 0:45:40.080
<v Speaker 1>A brand called ice cream ice cream.

0:45:40.239 --> 0:45:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah love that.

0:45:41.120 --> 0:45:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh sorry, Billionaire Boys Club ice cream. That's the I

0:45:44.600 --> 0:45:47.120
<v Speaker 1>had to ask Ben. That's the brand. It is a

0:45:47.200 --> 0:45:49.800
<v Speaker 1>men's jumper, men's jacket, So for all those people that

0:45:49.880 --> 0:45:51.640
<v Speaker 1>were asking me, just in case you didn't know, it

0:45:51.719 --> 0:45:54.359
<v Speaker 1>is men's wear. But I love that kind of stuff,

0:45:54.360 --> 0:45:55.240
<v Speaker 1>the big oversize stuff.

0:45:55.280 --> 0:45:56.000
<v Speaker 3>So that is it.

0:45:56.360 --> 0:45:58.120
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, Ben left his bag here, so I'm just

0:45:58.120 --> 0:46:00.000
<v Speaker 1>going through his clothes. I'm I'm in corporate.

0:46:00.000 --> 0:46:03.239
<v Speaker 2>It's a really nice jacket. It's not like Lumberjack Matt

0:46:03.280 --> 0:46:05.920
<v Speaker 2>always everything in an extra large. He wants things oversized

0:46:05.920 --> 0:46:07.560
<v Speaker 2>on him. So then I can't wear it because it's

0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:12.759
<v Speaker 2>like it literally looks like I'm wearing daddy's clothes. Guys,

0:46:12.800 --> 0:46:13.319
<v Speaker 2>you know the drill.

0:46:13.560 --> 0:46:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Tell your mum to you dad, tety dog to your friends,

0:46:15.440 --> 0:46:17.799
<v Speaker 1>and share the love because we love them
