<v Speaker 2>is a new Facebook group that has popped up. There's

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 2>a few of them, but the one that I wanted

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 2>to tell you about is called are We Dating the

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Same Boyfriend? So this is a Facebook group that has

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:32.079
<v Speaker 2>been created where if you suspect that your partner's cheating

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 2>on you, maybe they're having an affair, maybe it's a

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 2>one night stand, whatever it is, you can go on

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 2>to this Facebook group. You can put all their details

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.639
<v Speaker 2>in and other people who also maybe suspect that their

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 2>partners in multiple relationships will go on there and they

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 2>will do the investity of work for you or they

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 2>will come out and say, yes, I'm also in a

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 2>relationship with this person. So it's trying to out cheating.

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Is it for women to post about cheating boyfriends or

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>is it vice versa? Can you post any gender?

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.120
<v Speaker 2>I think you can post any gender, But by large

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 2>and far, the peace people posting in this group are

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 2>women who are warning other women or trying to find

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 2>out whether their male partners are cheating on them.

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:06.359
<v Speaker 1>This is great?

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Do you think it's great? Because I feel like Britt,

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have a different opinion on this.

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 5>I don't think this is great.

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 4>No, Well, there are people taking screenshots of other people's

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 4>dating profiles, putting it on and just having queries like, hey,

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 4>is anyone else talking to this guy?

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 5>I think that's cooked.

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:24.119
<v Speaker 1>That's different I do.

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 5>And this is where my problem is.

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:30.359
<v Speaker 4>I'm all for if someone is an absolute turn burger

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 4>and is like out there cheating, out there doing the

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 4>wrong thing, he's abusive, he's very problematic. That is one

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 4>kettle of fish, right, But there's something about this that

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 4>it's very hard to police. So anyone can go and

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 4>throw anyone under the bus for any reason. We all

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 4>know how much how easy it is to believe a

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 4>headline that's not true, to hear a rumor that's not true,

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 4>and all of a.

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 5>Sudden it sticks with you. So I just don't know

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 5>how I feel about it.

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm straddled in both sides of the camp here, okay,

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 2>because one side of me is like, as someone who

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 2>has been cheated on in the past, there's a part

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 2>of me that's like, well, if there's a community that

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 2>could help someone from making the same mistake with that person,

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 2>I would want to almost lean into it and be like,

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 2>I want to warn people that this is not a

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 2>good guy to date, right. I feel like it's a

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 2>good community for being able to out people who are

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>doing pattern bad behavior on eating apps or maybe Brittany's

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 2>got a hand.

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Brittany, we're not in a lecture. You can speak what

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>this is your radio show. She's risen her hand, she's ready.

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:29.480
<v Speaker 4>I understand what you're saying. Yes, but plenty of people cheat,

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 4>and I'm not condoning it. I've been cheated on multiple

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 4>multiple times. But plenty of people cheat. And I know

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 4>you've spoken about on the podcast before, Laura. In your

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.840
<v Speaker 4>young days, you cheated, you got a second chance, and

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 4>you'd never do it now. So if someone's cheated and

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 4>it's pissed so on off, that's not to say for

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 4>the rest of their lives they're going to be this

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:44.679
<v Speaker 4>crazy person.

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 5>They could have been really young and done the wrong thing,

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:47.280
<v Speaker 5>and are we.

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 4>Really going to stop them from going and meeting their

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 4>penguin because maybe they made a mistake.

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.719
<v Speaker 1>Guys, can I just say, like this is exhausting. The

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>gays have been doing this for years underground, like you

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>straight people. We've got groups. I've got a file on

0:04:58.360 --> 0:04:59.719
<v Speaker 1>David And what about Sam?

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Do you mean you've been doing it for forever? What

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:03.360
<v Speaker 2>are you doing that's different?

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.880
<v Speaker 1>It's part of gay culture. You just talk. Everyone talks. Sadly,

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the gay community isn't that big. So you've most likely

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.040
<v Speaker 1>been with your new boyfriend's boyfriends, so you know his history.

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 4>So you're saying that you all constantly out each other

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 4>on cheating.

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.159
<v Speaker 1>Exactly right. You'll know their name, you'll know their face.

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>And if maybe that's what you're into, maybe match two

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>cheaters up like we don't shame we go. Maybe you're

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>better off with this cheat because Sitement's a cheater. Ben

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>go with him?

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 5>Oh, cheat City, Cheat City.

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I can add you to some group chats. They're

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:31.559
<v Speaker 1>really fun.

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I mean, I still think that maybe

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 2>maybe there needs to be a way for this to exist,

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 2>but it needs to be policed a little bit better, like, well,

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.280
<v Speaker 2>if you've only been cheated on in the last six months,

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 2>you can post it, but if it's a two years ago,

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 2>we don't want to hear about it.

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:45.800
<v Speaker 1>It needs to be an expiry date on cheetahs.

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.719
<v Speaker 5>You two other problems to get your demerit points back.

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, oh my god, after three years.

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.359
<v Speaker 5>Relations shipp to mirror points.

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.200

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 2>it an expectation that you would allow your family members

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 2>to pick your husband for you.

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 3>No, it was completely my choice, And I think the

0:06:56.320 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 3>times have changed now where the traditional sort of arranged

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 3>marriage only happens in smaller villages. It's very modernized now

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 3>where the girl does get a say in the majority

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 3>of the cases.

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 5>If you had a choice. What part of it makes

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 5>it arrange?

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 3>The fact that the elders actually get together and let

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 3>people know that there's a girl here, and then they

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 3>arrange for the man and the families to come and meet.

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 3>That could be several different men.

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Paint the picture of how it works, because the way

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 1>it was described to us is that it was kind

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 1>of a bit like speed data. Y.

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so there could be up to several men coming

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 3>throughout the day. It's almost like an appointment and you

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 3>can sort of judge them or try and judge them

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 3>for the amount of time that you have there in

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 3>front of them. And as an Indian woman, what you

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 3>would do the one being married has to go and

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 3>take them a glass of water and then you sit

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 3>down and sort of not look at each other. But

0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.240
<v Speaker 3>I took a really good stare because I mean, that

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 3>could be the biggest of the rest of my life.

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, So some people don't take that thirty seconds,

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 4>that minute. They avoid eye contact because it's awkward. What

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 4>did you feel when you met your husband, You're sitting

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 4>opposite him, You're looking into his eyes. What was it

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 4>about looking into your now husband's eyes where you're like,

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 4>this is.

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 3>The one My husband was the first one I looked at.

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 3>We didn't speak at all. I took them water and

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 3>sat down, and then the family members just talked to

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 3>each other. Really, two weeks went by and nobody asked

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 3>me anything. So then I said to my grandma, said

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 3>I actually liked the look of that guy.

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 3>They got really excited because I was only nineteen at

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 3>the time. And then they set up another meeting where

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 3>they then sent us up to the balcony to then

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 3>talk to each other, which was really awkward because he

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.959
<v Speaker 3>was really shy and didn't know what to really say.

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 3>And all I really asked him was he ate meat

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.440
<v Speaker 3>and drank alcohol, and it was a yes. So it

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 3>was a yes from me.

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 2>So long after meeting there, do you then have to

0:08:58.040 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 2>make the decision that you're going to get married? Do

0:08:59.920 --> 0:09:02.840
<v Speaker 2>you get married very shortly afterwards? Are you essentially just

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 2>saying yes to dating?

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.840
<v Speaker 3>No, that was a done deal on the day. So

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:09.319
<v Speaker 3>as we say yes, you.

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.440
<v Speaker 4>Took water, you looked into each other's eyes. You asked

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.439
<v Speaker 4>to me be eight meat and alcohol and day with

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 4>the day with the checkboxes. Then you were like, this

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:17.440
<v Speaker 4>is the rest of my life.

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, pretty much. So within a month we had met,

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 3>we got engaged and married or all in one month.

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, congratulations, you've been married fifteen years, You've

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>got two beautiful girls.

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 2>How long did it take you to fall in love?

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 3>For me? It was a love at first sight. It

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 3>was love at first sight. It took both of our

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 3>sides to really learn each other's ways. And my husband

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.200
<v Speaker 3>brought him to Australia here, so he's left his whole

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 3>family and everything, friends and everyone back in India and

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 3>I've now got a husband that I have to, you know,

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 3>take care of, and being as independent as I was,

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 3>it was really new to me. So it just takes

0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 3>a lot of understanding and a lot of suck. Provisors

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.680
<v Speaker 3>do have to be made for a relationship like this

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:03.200
<v Speaker 3>to work.

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Wow, And all it takes is seconds. That should be

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the name of your memoir if you ever right on

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.199
<v Speaker 1>thirty seconds. Well hopefully I'm talking about the look.

0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.240

<v Speaker 1>musical theater numbers. So what I did was, I thought,

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 1>my way of showing love is to be creative. So

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I have written a song that perfectly introduces Laura, Britt

0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.160

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 2>So this is a song that you've written about us,

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 2>just so I can get clear before I hear that

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 2>is correct, Laura Burn correct.

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.520
