WEBVTT - ASK UNCUT -  Hens parties, bi-curios and friendship breakdowns

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.439
<v Speaker 1>Hi guys, and we'll welcome back to another episode of

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Black Uncut.

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm Laura, I'm Brittany, and it is therapy. There's day.

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>It is our very first ask guncut back here off

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the ranks, ready to roll, answering all your deep, dark

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:34.919
<v Speaker 1>and burning questions.

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 3>And we do have a couple of cracker questions where

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 3>you're coming up later in the episode. But Laura wants

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:41.160
<v Speaker 3>to bring a bit of an article to kickstart.

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is like the most low brow article

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 1>that we're ever going to get. Sometimes we unpack really

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 1>important things and sometimes they're really unimportant. Well, she's been

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>sitting here giggling for the best part of half an hour,

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:52.479
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, are you're going to tell me? You're

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>going to preface what this is so I actually can

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>get my head around it, and she refuses to please

0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>please share with me. So there is there's an article

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.959
<v Speaker 1>that's come out and it's around Leonardo DiCaprio.

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>But I just want to give you.

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to give you the quote first, because that's

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of like where this awe stemmed from. It's got

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 1>to be about him dating like a twenty year old

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>supermodel breaking news. Leonardo DiCaprio's ex girlfriend, Camilla Moron details

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the worst date of my life with the actor. He

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>rented out a whole cinema and maybe watch every single

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Star Wars movie while he ran around with his lightsaber

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>pretending to fight bad guys.

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:31.039
<v Speaker 3>What, hang on, how is this breaking news? And hang on,

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 3>hang on, how is this breaking news? And me, I'm

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 3>pretty sure that Camilla Morone.

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Is his current girlfriend, not his ex girlfriend.

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 1>So apparently this was originally posted by a satire Instagram

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>page called I'm going to butcher this because I can't

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>speak French, but I think it's Les sign Files. If

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>it's not sure that, then don't come for me in

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the reviews. But it was posted by a satire Instagram

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>and a whole lot of very reputable news sources actually

0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>picked up this post from like retweets and everything else

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>and ran news articles around it saying that Leonardo has

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>actually rented out this cinema, forced his girlfriend to watch

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>him run around with a lightsaber, and people are reporting

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 1>on this that it's a fact. People yes, to the

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 1>point where Leonardo DiCaprio has had to come out and

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>say that he never did that.

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 2>It's all fake news.

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Imagine having to put a statement out saying I didn't

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>make my girlfriend run around in a private cinema with

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>a lightsaber.

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 2>You know what, this actually reminds me. This is actually funny.

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>And this is probably the reason that that satire story

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>had legs because Joniah Hill, who is a friend of his,

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>they've just done a movie together.

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Don't look up, I think it is. I only got

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>through half of it. I couldn't do it. I've only

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 2>started it too. Leo don'nut me was confused by the

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 2>whole thing.

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 3>But Joni Hill had put out a statement as well.

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 3>Obviously I don't know if he was taking a piss too,

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 3>but he said that Leo made him like get really

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 3>involved in the Mandolin franchise and like have lightsabers and

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 3>stuff as well. So there's obviously like a Star Wars

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 3>lightsaber trend going on.

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.079
<v Speaker 2>So now people just think Leo it's crazy.

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>But also I feel like actors are a bit kookie.

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>So if you read that, you believe it, you believe

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.959
<v Speaker 1>it like it's fine. And also if Leonardo DiCaprio wanted

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:10.400
<v Speaker 1>to take me on a date and force me to

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>watch eight hours of Star Wars, I'd fucking do it.

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Yes, if I had to wield a lightsaber as well

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 3>with Leo in a private cinema, Sign me up, where's

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 3>the ticket?

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the last part of it. While he

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>ran around with his lightsaber pretending to fight bad guys.

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 2>That was the sound of its sexy? Doesn't it too?

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 2>We've got a privaccenma and he's training around with his lightsaber. Oh,

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it does. But okay, do you know what.

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I really wanted to throw this out because I was like,

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>we've all experienced bad dates, and I know that we're

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>here to answer your questions, but before we get into that,

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I chucked the thing up on my Instagram after reading this,

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, I just want to know. I

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>want a couple of stories. I thought, there's going to

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>be a few of you who have had dates that

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>are actually real dates, not satire dates that are probably

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 1>just as bad as this one. Anyone that hasn't had

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>a bad date, you are not living. You need to

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>go out there and get yourself a bad date.

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we've heard mine. Over the last years, I've

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 2>had some hectic dates. I feel like it's the.

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Only way that you appreciate the good ones, and let

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>me tell you, there was some fucking crackers that came through. Okay,

0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna read a couple of these out to you,

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>but I actually think I received hundreds and hundreds, if

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>not thousands, of messages. So I'm going to spend my

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>day today going through them, and I think we actually

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.160
<v Speaker 1>need to do a bonus episode of all of these.

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>We definitely need to do a bonus episode of these.

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 3>Maybe we need to do one every two months or

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 3>one a quarter, like one bad Date episode a quarter.

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Because they never stopped.

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so here are a couple that had me chuckling

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 1>on the couch last night. I went on a double

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.559
<v Speaker 1>date to see a movie. It was all going pretty

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>smooth until halfway through. He just ghosted me, like literally

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 1>in person. It was not experienced watching the last half

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 1>of the movie in silence and then leaving the cinema

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>by myself. He went to the toilet and just never

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>came back. Oh oh my god, Well did anyone check

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 1>on him?

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he passed out in the bathroom. We just left.

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay. A guy peeked me up to go on an

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>adventure which involved actually just going to the police station

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 1>to pick up his lost phone. We waited for three

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>hours at the police station. Did I mention that this

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>was the first date? Also, by the time we got

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.679
<v Speaker 1>his phone back, we then went to go get Messina

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 1>and it had closed. So literally just spent three hours

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>sitting at a police station and then never heard from

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 1>him again.

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 2>He just wanted a ride to the copp shop so bad.

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Also, I feel like these give you a little bit

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>of sense of like comfort. You're like, fuck, somebody else

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 1>is doing it worse than I am.

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 3>I literally had a friend come over here two days ago,

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 3>sat right where you're seeing Laura, and she had just

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 3>been on a date.

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.160
<v Speaker 1>She's like, I fuck, I need to tell you how

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:29.919
<v Speaker 1>bad this date was.

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 2>She's been talking to this.

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 3>Guy for a while online and they finally decided to

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 3>meet up because he was pretty boring as fuck and

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:36.919
<v Speaker 3>he never wanted to do anything. She's like, fucking just

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 3>finally meet me. So they finally met up. They went

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 3>on a ferry ride.

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.279
<v Speaker 2>That's what my did. Random. They went on a ferry ride.

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Then they got back. He was really really boring. He

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 2>was really really rude.

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 3>They get back and he's like, I guess we could

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 3>have a drink, and she's like, this is nighttime in

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.039
<v Speaker 3>the city in Sydney, and she's like, oh okay, Like,

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 3>I guess whatever if I have to, She's like, well,

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 3>how about we go somewhere a bit closer to like

0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 3>my home. And he's like, oh no, that's really convenient

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 3>for me. Let's just go somewhere close to my home.

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 3>She was like okay, and I was like.

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Why are you agreeing to this?

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 1>So they find this random bar in the city.

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 3>They walk in and he sits down and says to her, uh,

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 3>just get me whatever you get. So first of all,

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 3>he makes her get the drinks, so she goes and

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 3>gets the drinks, brings them back, sits down. He goes,

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 3>I'll have to So she got him two drinks, so

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 3>she only got one. He's smashed the two drinks. She's

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 3>only halfway through one nighttime in the city. He gets

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 3>an alert on his phone that says the last train

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 3>from Winyard is leaving in five minutes. He skulls the

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.600
<v Speaker 3>rest of his drink, goes, you'll be fine to get

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 3>yourself home, want you and left and walked out, left

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 3>her alone in the city with her drink that she

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 3>had just bought him, that's it.

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 2>I was like, what the who does this? Who does this?

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what?

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I think that we all need to have a little

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.359
<v Speaker 1>bit more confidence in saying no, and if you're on

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>a terrible date. Sometimes I think we are scared about

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 1>hurting someone's feelings, so we sit through a bad date

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>or we sit through an uncomfortable encounter because we don't

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 1>want to offend someone.

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>You don't know them, if you don't like them.

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that there needs to be a little bit

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>more of it being okay to like momentarily offend someone

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 1>if they're making you uncomfortable, if someone's being rude, if

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>you don't feel safe, if you don't like it, if

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>you don't like them, if you know that there's absolutely

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>no vibe just being upfront and saying, hey, do you

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 1>know what?

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:28.880
<v Speaker 2>This isn't really what I expected. I don't think that

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 2>this is going to.

0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Be anything, and lee, I'll go to the toilet and

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>don't come back. Yeah, I mean, like, maybe address it,

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>but just leave. Don't stay at a first date longer

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 1>than you need to if you're absolutely not interested in it.

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I just can't believe what gets me is and like

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why I'm so shook because I've been

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>on these dates. I have been on these dates, but

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm so shook that a man would leave a woman

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>alone in the city at night by herself instead of

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>just all he had to say is, Hey, the train's

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna leave. I'll just make sure you get back to

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>the station. I'll make sure you get on the train.

0:07:58.360 --> 0:07:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean they say.

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Chivalry is dead, sometimes it actually is dead. It is

0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 2>dried up and dead.

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I have two more that I want to share with

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 1>you before we actually do a full episode. Laura, I've

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 1>had a few really strange dates, but this one takes

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 1>the cake. It was my first date with a guy,

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and I went back to his place to watch a movie,

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 2>And while we were watching it and Mat.

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Well that's what you would think, but anyway, she was

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 1>in for a surprise. She hears the microwave go off, ping.

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 1>The guy gets up, then emerges with a bowl of

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 1>steaming hot water. Then he reaches for a tea towel

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.679
<v Speaker 1>and performs a steam bath to cleanse his sinuses.

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Then he collects his nasal.

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Irrigation device and cleaned out his sinuses in front of me.

0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>On the couch. Finally, as he sits down again with

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 1>me in absolute horror, a cockroach flies out of his

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>blinds and onto his ship. If there's anything that's going

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 1>to put your panties back on, and he's cleansing your

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 1>sinuses and a cockroach, So she gets up and leaves. Okay,

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and last one went to dinner with the guy, and

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 1>he flirted with the waitress straight off the back. Made

0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>me feel really guilty about how much the dinner cost,

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 1>even though he chose the place and I offered to

0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.559
<v Speaker 1>split the bill. We then went for a drink afterwards.

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Why I don't know, he asked me, and I just

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 1>said yes, to be polite. Once again, stop being polite,

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 1>And while we were drinking our beer, he leans in

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 1>really close to my face, inspecting it and then says,

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 1>have you ever broken your nose? I haven't, hot dick. Okay,

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 1>enough of that, let's get into the more important part

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:34.440
<v Speaker 1>of this episode.

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's get into askun cards. All right, ask on a cut.

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to come in hot with number one.

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm engaged and my bridesmaids have recently started planning my

0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 3>hens and asked me who I want to invite? I

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 3>know that typically people invite their close friend groups. However,

0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.440
<v Speaker 3>there are one or two girls in this group who

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm no longer close to and one that I really

0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.320
<v Speaker 3>don't get along with anymore and I don't like to

0:09:59.360 --> 0:09:59.840
<v Speaker 3>be around.

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Should I invite the whole group.

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 3>For the sake of not making things awkward for the group,

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 3>or should I only invite the people I really want

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 3>to and really like, even if it could make things

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 3>super awkward.

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 2>This is so awkward, especially if it's one person. It's

0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.679
<v Speaker 2>like one particular person. Okay, what do you think.

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>It's really awkward if there's only one person in your

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>whole frame? Okay, I'm like, I have two opinions, and

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:32.600
<v Speaker 1>two pretty strong opinions. I really think for hen's engagement parties,

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 1>weddings everything to do with your really big special day.

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you should have to have people there

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 1>for the sake of other people's feelings and the sake

0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>of keeping peace. I think it's your special day. If

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>you end up inviting people that you don't like, it's

0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 1>going to affect you in one way or the other.

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:51.720
<v Speaker 1>And ultimately, at the end of the day, for a wedding,

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>you're paying for it. You're paying person per head. This

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.439
<v Speaker 1>is the Hen's party, so I feel like it's a

0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 1>little bit different. And you haven't said if this person

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 1>will be going to the wedding or if this issue

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.679
<v Speaker 1>is the same for the wedding and the hens. Are

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.199
<v Speaker 1>you trying to decide if you invite them to the

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 1>wedding as well? If it's just one person in the

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 1>whole group for the Hens, I'd probably lean towards that

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.960
<v Speaker 1>you should probably just invite them and if there's enough

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.679
<v Speaker 1>people there, you might not notice it. But I don't

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:25.040
<v Speaker 1>have the same sentiment with the wedding. I think people

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:26.959
<v Speaker 1>can come to your hens that don't come to your wedding.

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm a big believer in that. I look at a

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 1>HENS as like a big party.

0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:31.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't think everybody has to go to the wedding,

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.719
<v Speaker 3>and I know people will disagree with that, but in

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.080
<v Speaker 3>this situation, imagine how much more awkward it's going to

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 3>be when you invite nineteen of your twenty friends and

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:43.559
<v Speaker 3>that one girl, Like, what are you even going to

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 3>say to us? I have to be honest, I'm sure

0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 3>that you think.

0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 1>That you could invite people to your HENS party and

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 1>they'll not invite them to your wedding.

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely weird?

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Is that weird to be like, Hey, come to my party,

0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 1>but I don't like you enough to come to my wedding.

0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Not in this day and age, because there are a

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of caps on weddings and things like that.

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 2>True, So I feel like it's like, hey.

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:03.839
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to have thirty people at my wedding, but

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 3>I'd love you to come and celebrate and like send

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 3>me off into the married life and let's all get

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:08.679
<v Speaker 3>drunken party.

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Like that's what I think. I think now you can

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>differentiate the two. I've always found it weird when people

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.599
<v Speaker 1>invite you to their engagement party but don't invite you

0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>to their wedding. That's a bit more weird because liens

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:19.960
<v Speaker 1>is like, let's just party because I'm like, okay, so

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 1>you want me to come to your engagement party and

0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.200
<v Speaker 1>believe you for a present, but you don't like me

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 1>enough to invite me into your wedding. Okay, cool. Nowhere

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I stand in the ranking of our friendships.

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:33.600
<v Speaker 2>I guess. The only thing with this that I think

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:34.600
<v Speaker 2>is a bit difficult.

0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 1>I would understand if you had had a fight, if

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 1>there's been like a reason that you've had a falling out,

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.960
<v Speaker 1>or if there's like something that she does, maybe she

0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:45.000
<v Speaker 1>gets super drunk and is really inappropriate and it's just

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:48.839
<v Speaker 1>a total liability, in which case totally understand why you

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't want her there. If it's just someone in your

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 1>friendship group who you don't like as much as the

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 1>rest of your friends, and like it's a tight friendship group.

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about like you know, you've got a big,

0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.720
<v Speaker 1>open acquaintance kind of group. You've got like a tight

0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 1>knit group of girls, and there's one person who you

0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.400
<v Speaker 1>just don't mesh with as much as the others. I

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 1>would personally still invite them, only because for me, the

0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>drama of not inviting them what that would cause would

0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 1>be way more stressful than just like having them there

0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 1>on the day. So I think that's the thing you

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:19.599
<v Speaker 1>got to weigh up, right, Like, what's going to be

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 1>the bigger issue the drama that could follow on or

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.840
<v Speaker 1>could be the byproduct of not inviting them to the

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 1>hens versus having them there in the first place. That's it,

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 1>And it's different if there were like five or six

0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:31.960
<v Speaker 1>or seven people that weren't invited and you were just

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.000
<v Speaker 1>saying look, I've just got a cap numbers. You know,

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I love you, but I have to have a smaller group.

0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 2>But it's just one.

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 3>There's one or two, and I feel like it's just

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.560
<v Speaker 3>it's going to create way more trouble than it's probably

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.679
<v Speaker 3>worth because she doesn't.

0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Know you don't like it, and you're gonna have to

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 2>give her a reason. Yeah, that's like a really that's

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 2>a statement.

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>That's the line in the sand. That's you saying I

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 1>don't like you. Like that's not really something that you

0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.440
<v Speaker 1>can come back from. So if you want to make

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.560
<v Speaker 1>a really clear, definitive line in the sand as to

0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 1>where your friendship stands, which is we don't.

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Have one, yeah, this is your perfect opportunity. I don't know.

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like I know that not everybody's going

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.160
<v Speaker 1>to agree with this, because I do agree with what

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 1>you said, Britt. I do think that when it comes

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 1>to weddings and engagement parties and everything else, you can

0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 1>be a little bit selfish. I just worry that sometimes

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:21.360
<v Speaker 1>we use those big events and they can create more issues.

0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 1>They can create more stress, which actually means that on

0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 1>the day it's not as enjoyable because you've been so

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>stressed out and so upset about all your family and

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 1>all your friendships and connections that maybe those issues could

0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 1>have been avoided a little bit.

0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Let us know what you do. I'm uncomfortable, Britt.

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Like, when Britt gets uncomfortable, she doesn't know where to

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 1>put her hands. I don't She's like just sitting here

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>with her hands in the air. Because I really involve

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:48.680
<v Speaker 1>myself in the situation.

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 2>She masturbates. I I transport. But that was so random random.

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to think of something you could do

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 1>with your hands.

0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, there's a multitude of things I could do

0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 3>other than masturbate over someone's asking cut about a wedding.

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, do you know what?

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Though this is a total sidestep, we received a message recently.

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 1>It was a confessional, and I'm just gonna slide it

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 1>in here. One of our listeners sent us a confessional

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:17.320
<v Speaker 1>saying that they masturbated in their car listening to the

0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 1>episode on Kinks and I forgot about it.

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm so just reminded me. I'm so here for it.

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 2>I love that you did that. I love that you

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 2>told us you did that. Well done. You're living your

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.480
<v Speaker 2>best bloody life. Still shocked. Though, I'm still pretty shook

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 2>by the whole Thing's not gonna lie anyway. As an update,

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I feel very uncomfortable for you.

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I think, not the masturbating girl, No girl's getting married, for.

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Both, for all people involved.

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I think going to the question number two.

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, question number two. This is also a friendship

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:53.680
<v Speaker 2>related question.

0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 1>And there were honestly so many friendship questions that came

0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 1>in across the DMS over the Christmas break, over New Year,

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.760
<v Speaker 1>and still now. And I think it's because January December

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:05.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a very transformative time. I think it's a time

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of self reflection where we kind of

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 1>look at different parts of our lives that aren't necessarily

0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:14.000
<v Speaker 1>making us happy. And that definitely goes for this one.

0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I have been going through a bit of a falling

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 1>out with a group of childhood friends. There are three

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.080
<v Speaker 1>of them, and I've known them since primary school. I'm

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty three, hustling and working full time, and I often

0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 1>do make time to meet up with my friends. However,

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I've noticed that I have not been enjoying the last

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.640
<v Speaker 1>few times we've hung out. I feel as though they

0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 1>do not respect me.

0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Anymore.

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 1>For example, they would shame me if I do not

0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 1>have time to meet up, as I do prefer some

0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 1>downtime and being alone after a long day of work.

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.240
<v Speaker 1>They sometimes talk about my salary in a degrading manner.

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 1>The way they talk about my boyfriend of three years,

0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.080
<v Speaker 1>mind you, is super disrespectful, like they forget his name,

0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 1>they judge his looks. I'm also seen as the quiet

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and clumsy one in the group. My other group of

0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.400
<v Speaker 1>friends make me feel so happy and content, but I'm

0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>fed up with this bunch and have made excuses about

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.440
<v Speaker 1>to avoid hanging out with them recently. What should I do.

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Thank you next?

0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh, no, Laura, what two minds is that? I'm sorry

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:13.400
<v Speaker 2>if your friends.

0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:17.120
<v Speaker 3>Are making you feel shit, if your friends don't remember

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.800
<v Speaker 3>your partner's name of three years, if your friends are

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.879
<v Speaker 3>bringing you down because of your salary.

0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.040
<v Speaker 2>That you're earning in your.

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.639
<v Speaker 3>Job that you work bloody hard for, they are not

0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.280
<v Speaker 3>your friends. Spoiler, they're not your friends.

0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:30.919
<v Speaker 1>Preach.

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you're not in the fence anymore.

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.919
<v Speaker 1>I no, Okay, what I'm on the fence about is

0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:40.520
<v Speaker 1>just dumping a twenty something year friendship. What I mean

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:42.639
<v Speaker 1>is is like No, they're not being friends. They are

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.719
<v Speaker 1>absolutely not living up to the standard, and you're not

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:48.119
<v Speaker 1>being treated the way that you deserve. However, is it

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.400
<v Speaker 1>warranting of a conversation? Can you sit down with them

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and tell them how they're making you feel? Tell them

0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.320
<v Speaker 1>that you feel like I feel like when you constantly

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.400
<v Speaker 1>make jokes about me being the clumsy one, or about

0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:00.800
<v Speaker 1>being this, or about being quiet, like it makes me

0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.920
<v Speaker 1>feel inferior, makes me feel just a bit shit about

0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.480
<v Speaker 1>myself and like you're always picking on me. I don't

0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 1>feel like you know you have understanding around my work,

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:12.200
<v Speaker 1>or that you have respect for my work. And maybe

0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.639
<v Speaker 1>by explaining those things to them a little bit, they

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 1>might surprise you.

0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:16.320
<v Speaker 2>That's all I mean.

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, instead of avoiding it and being scared of

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 1>having those conversations, giving them the opportunity to prove you wrong,

0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:24.120
<v Speaker 1>and if they don't, then kicking.

0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:24.520
<v Speaker 2>To the curves.

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 3>See, I totally get what you're saying. But I think

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 3>there comes and I think this comes as you get

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 3>older as well. I think there comes a point in

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 3>your life where you shouldn't have to sit your friends down,

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:34.600
<v Speaker 3>especially if they've been twenty years.

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 1>You shouldn't have to sit them down and say, hey.

0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:38.359
<v Speaker 2>Just so you know, you're disrespecting me.

0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Everything you say makes me feel like shit, Like it's

0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the fact, like literally, like you shouldn't have to have it.

0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.520
<v Speaker 1>The fact of the matter is, and it's a part

0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:47.160
<v Speaker 1>of life.

0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.440
<v Speaker 2>It's a part of human nature. It's a part of growth.

0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.000
<v Speaker 2>We grow and change.

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Throughout life and the friends we've had, Like, I'm very

0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.840
<v Speaker 3>lucky that my ultimate best friend of my whole life

0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.840
<v Speaker 3>I have been best friends with for nearly thirty years.

0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.200
<v Speaker 3>We're five years old, and we have never had a fight.

0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:04.240
<v Speaker 3>We just have the most beautiful her name Shannon. I

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 3>know you listen, so shout out to Shannon. And we're

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.640
<v Speaker 3>in such different points of life. She's married with two kids.

0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:11.320
<v Speaker 3>You don't get to speak all the time. She's in

0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:15.600
<v Speaker 3>another state. But we will never, ever, ever have any

0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:18.560
<v Speaker 3>disrespect for each other or anything but love. And I'm lucky.

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 3>But there's a lot of other friends that I would

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.600
<v Speaker 3>still be acquaintances with and you still like them as people.

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:25.879
<v Speaker 3>But you grow when you change, like the people you

0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 3>are at five years old, ten years old, fifteen, twenty,

0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:32.439
<v Speaker 3>twenty five, thirty, you change, and it's very rare that

0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.720
<v Speaker 3>you all change in the same direction. Sometimes this is

0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:39.000
<v Speaker 3>really hard to understand that some people come into your

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.399
<v Speaker 3>life for a period of time and a point of time,

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:45.360
<v Speaker 3>and I think we feel inside a bit sentimental about that,

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.920
<v Speaker 3>like we need to really hold on to something because

0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.440
<v Speaker 3>it has been twenty years or it has been ten years.

0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 3>But that doesn't mean you have to keep going in

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:54.360
<v Speaker 3>that direction and you have to keep that friends group

0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 3>because you've shared some memories.

0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:57.760
<v Speaker 2>You can keep those memories.

0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:00.880
<v Speaker 1>And think, fuck, we had such an amazing teenage years

0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:03.360
<v Speaker 1>into our early twenties, and now we're in different places.

0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:04.880
<v Speaker 2>You've obviously met this.

0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.399
<v Speaker 1>New group of friends who you really gel with and

0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:09.679
<v Speaker 1>you feel comfortable with and they feel like they support you.

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it's okay to do a soft fade from

0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:14.440
<v Speaker 1>your friendship. You can still be in contact with them

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:15.840
<v Speaker 1>and catch up with them and hang out with them.

0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:18.119
<v Speaker 1>But if you're trying to force something just because you

0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:20.200
<v Speaker 1>have a history but they make you feel shit every day,

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:21.439
<v Speaker 1>I think you just need to have a little bit

0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 1>of self reflection and understand that life changes, Life has

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.120
<v Speaker 1>ebbs and flows, and it might be time to take

0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:29.840
<v Speaker 1>a new direction. Yeah, it's that whole saying of like

0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:32.400
<v Speaker 1>a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When it comes

0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:34.280
<v Speaker 1>to friends, that's what they come into your life for

0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:36.320
<v Speaker 1>a reason, a season, or a lifetime.

0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 2>But I totally get it.

0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I get why it can be so hard to walk

0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:41.720
<v Speaker 1>away from the friends that you have in your life

0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:45.199
<v Speaker 1>that know your history. Ultimately, they know so much about you,

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:47.240
<v Speaker 1>they know where you've been, they know who you are,

0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:49.840
<v Speaker 1>and that can have its pros and its cons. I

0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 1>guess the cons that can come with that is that

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:54.399
<v Speaker 1>sometimes that they can put you in a little box

0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and be like, oh, well, you're that person that you've

0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:58.520
<v Speaker 1>always been. And sometimes we want to be viewed differently.

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:00.960
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to be viewed as the quiet girl.

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.119
<v Speaker 1>And we do change as we get older. And I

0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:03.679
<v Speaker 1>guess you're like.

0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm fucking cool now.

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I have fallen over like four weeks. But the biggest

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:11.879
<v Speaker 1>thing here is respect, and I think you nailed it,

0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Britt Like, regardless of where you are in your friendships

0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and how long you've been friends with someone, you were

0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:21.480
<v Speaker 1>always ultimately deserving of respect. However, the issue is, and

0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:24.800
<v Speaker 1>it's the same thing that happens in romantic relationships. Sometimes

0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 1>we take the things that are closest to us. For granted,

0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>sometimes they can be the people that we treat the

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:31.439
<v Speaker 1>worst because we think they're always going to be around.

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:33.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know a lot of people listening to

0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:36.080
<v Speaker 1>this will have been guilty of doing it in their

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:39.360
<v Speaker 1>romantic relationships. Sometimes you might be having a shitty day.

0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:41.440
<v Speaker 1>You'll take it out in your partner. You'll speak to

0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 1>them badly, you won't treat them necessarily with the love

0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 1>and respect that they deserve to be treated in because

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:49.480
<v Speaker 1>you're like, well, fuck, they're.

0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Always there, It's fine.

0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes they think we treat it just clumsy Sally, It's okay, totally, it's.

0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Just Maddy Jay.

0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:58.360
<v Speaker 1>But like sometimes I think it happens for our friendships

0:21:58.359 --> 0:21:58.760
<v Speaker 1>as well.

0:21:58.920 --> 0:21:59.760
<v Speaker 2>And that's what I mean.

0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:02.879
<v Speaker 1>If it is a relationship that you want to salvage,

0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 1>it is warranting of a conversation. You would give a conversation.

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 1>You would have a conversation with a romantic relationship. You

0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:11.040
<v Speaker 1>would sit down and say, hey, I don't feel like

0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:13.200
<v Speaker 1>you're respecting me. I feel like you're not treating me

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:15.240
<v Speaker 1>the way that I want to be treated. I love you,

0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 1>that this is not working for me right now. You

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:20.200
<v Speaker 1>can do the same thing with your friends. You shouldn't

0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:22.960
<v Speaker 1>have to know, but you can see what I would do,

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.560
<v Speaker 1>is I agree, Like, of course you can have that conversation.

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not saying you dump the friend group and

0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 1>you move on and you kick them to the curb.

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying you're putting yourself the same thing with dating, Laura,

0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Like you go on some dates whatever, you're in a

0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:36.960
<v Speaker 1>situation you don't like, they make you feel shit, You're

0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:38.080
<v Speaker 1>remove yourself from a situation.

0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you're still text them sometimes.

0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 3>I think with a friendship group like this is you

0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:44.520
<v Speaker 3>don't dump thirty as a friendship unless they're being I mean,

0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 3>unless they are making you feel so so so horrible

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:51.840
<v Speaker 3>and they're so toxic. I think you just soft feed them.

0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:53.840
<v Speaker 3>You don't and you said that you're already making excuses,

0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:55.439
<v Speaker 3>so I think you don't dump them. You don't have

0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:57.080
<v Speaker 3>to have a big fight, but you just start to

0:22:57.119 --> 0:22:59.160
<v Speaker 3>fill your life with other things, your work that makes

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:01.320
<v Speaker 3>you happy, the new friends, groups, hobbies that make you happy.

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:03.280
<v Speaker 3>You can still catch up with them, for sure, totally.

0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:04.959
<v Speaker 3>If the times that you're catching up with them as

0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 3>a group, if you haven't seen them in a while,

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:08.639
<v Speaker 3>you go and catch up with them and they.

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Still make you feel like shit, then you don't need

0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.120
<v Speaker 1>to catch up with them anymore. You don't even really

0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:16.239
<v Speaker 1>need an explanation, Like you can just soft fade. You're

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:18.119
<v Speaker 1>run into the street, you're gonna say, hey, how are you?

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:20.080
<v Speaker 1>That's fine, But I think don't put so much pressure

0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:23.119
<v Speaker 1>on yourself. Ultimately we get this one little life. If

0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:25.919
<v Speaker 1>you're filling your days with people that are bringing you down,

0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:28.920
<v Speaker 1>like you are a product of the five people closest

0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:31.240
<v Speaker 1>to you. So if these are the people closest to

0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:32.760
<v Speaker 1>you and they're making you feel like that, you're going

0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:34.959
<v Speaker 1>to take that energy into your life every day. So

0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:36.919
<v Speaker 1>you surround yourself with people and things that make you

0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:40.000
<v Speaker 1>feel good at the end of the day. That's life totally,

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:41.919
<v Speaker 1>and like that, like it's very passionate, but.

0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm so hepho.

0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I fully agree with everything you're saying, and like the

0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:49.560
<v Speaker 1>whole concept of like we don't have that much time,

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 1>like you're saying that you're hustling. Everybody works hard, like

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 1>every like what not everybody, but a lot of people.

0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Time is really something that's so valuable. So don't especish

0:23:57.720 --> 0:24:00.280
<v Speaker 1>on people that make you feel crappy about yourself. That's like,

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:02.800
<v Speaker 1>ultimately the big take home. Should we go on to

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:05.679
<v Speaker 1>question number three? Yeah, h but let's do it okay.

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Question at number three, This one's a little bit saucier.

0:24:09.320 --> 0:24:10.600
<v Speaker 2>I love my partner.

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Here's my everything. I'm twenty two and we've been together

0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:15.640
<v Speaker 1>for two years now. I know I'm young, but trust

0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:17.719
<v Speaker 1>me when I say that I know he's my person.

0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:21.600
<v Speaker 1>The only and I mean literally, only thing that isn't

0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 1>perfect in our relationship is the sex. Although I have

0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:28.560
<v Speaker 1>dated a lot of different men, I haven't explored sexuality

0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:30.600
<v Speaker 1>and sex in the way that I want to now.

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Finding my forever person at twenty surely wasn't my plan.

0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:36.720
<v Speaker 1>In the past two years since being with him, I've

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:39.720
<v Speaker 1>been exposed to so much more sex positivity and I

0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:41.480
<v Speaker 1>want to try and explore different things.

0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:43.160
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to go to sex parties.

0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to try a threesome and scratch this by

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.840
<v Speaker 1>curious itch I have. I have hinted to my boyfriend

0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:51.439
<v Speaker 1>at perhaps having a threesome with another girl, but he

0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 1>is very certain on monogamy in our relationship.

0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I love him and the.

0:24:55.119 --> 0:24:57.719
<v Speaker 1>Sex is still pretty good, but I feel like if

0:24:57.760 --> 0:24:59.720
<v Speaker 1>this is really what the rest of my life is

0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>going to Is this going to be a problem?

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Probably, Yes, this is an interesting one and I do

0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:10.040
<v Speaker 3>have some feels about this.

0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Stoked.

0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:15.719
<v Speaker 1>If you've met your penguin, that's fucking so fantastic, Like

0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:20.320
<v Speaker 1>I love love, I love penguins, and anyone that meets

0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:23.320
<v Speaker 1>their penguin is that's amazing. Sex is not the be

0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:25.919
<v Speaker 1>all and end all, no, but I do think it

0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:27.920
<v Speaker 1>is very important in a relationship.

0:25:28.000 --> 0:25:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I think that you need to be.

0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:33.120
<v Speaker 1>On the same wavelength or you need to be really

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:35.080
<v Speaker 1>happy and content that.

0:25:35.000 --> 0:25:36.160
<v Speaker 2>You're not on the same wavelength.

0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:38.639
<v Speaker 3>So you're either on the wavelength or you're okay with

0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:40.280
<v Speaker 3>the fact that you're never going to meet in the middle.

0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:44.480
<v Speaker 3>For you, and I know from experience in my thirties,

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 3>there are so many chapters of growth and the way

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:53.360
<v Speaker 3>you evolve within yourself, within your sexuality, within your thoughts

0:25:53.400 --> 0:25:56.359
<v Speaker 3>on life and relationships, that is going to change. So

0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:58.920
<v Speaker 3>you're entering the next stage where you are more curious.

0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:00.640
<v Speaker 3>You said you have a bi cury it you want

0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:03.520
<v Speaker 3>to scratch. The question that you need to ask yourself

0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 3>is are you going to be okay to never ever

0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:09.560
<v Speaker 3>scratch that itch? Because your partner has said it is

0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 3>not absolutely not in the cards for you, for him,

0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:15.440
<v Speaker 3>for them, for your relationship. Are you going to be

0:26:15.440 --> 0:26:18.280
<v Speaker 3>okay to live the rest of your life without exploring

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:20.919
<v Speaker 3>that and without knowing and without wondering, or is it

0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:22.680
<v Speaker 3>going to drive you to a place where one day

0:26:22.680 --> 0:26:24.600
<v Speaker 3>you're in a situation where you do the wrong thing

0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:27.560
<v Speaker 3>in your relationship because you're like, fuck it, I'm out now,

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:30.280
<v Speaker 3>this girl's interested, this guy's interested.

0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to try it, and then you're going to

0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:31.960
<v Speaker 1>regret that later.

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:35.560
<v Speaker 3>You need to decide within yourself if you're happy to

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:38.159
<v Speaker 3>just have that as a fantasy and never actually know

0:26:38.200 --> 0:26:39.720
<v Speaker 3>and stay in your relationship, or if you're going to

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:41.600
<v Speaker 3>want to scratch those itches. If you think you're going

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:43.159
<v Speaker 3>to want to scratch those itches, you need to have

0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:44.920
<v Speaker 3>a really I mean, it's going to be a really

0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:47.760
<v Speaker 3>hard conversation with your partner, but you need to say,

0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 3>this is something I think about all the time, it's

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:52.119
<v Speaker 3>definitely something I want to try. How can we as

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:55.679
<v Speaker 3>a couple work it out, or how can we try

0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:59.480
<v Speaker 3>these things together or explore some new sexuality together, because

0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 3>there are plan any ways you can do that as

0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:04.080
<v Speaker 3>a couple, you don't have to to say so over,

0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:05.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna go and be with other people.

0:27:05.720 --> 0:27:06.760
<v Speaker 2>You can do that as a couple.

0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:09.440
<v Speaker 3>Maybe if he understands more about your relationship and about

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:11.440
<v Speaker 3>what you want to explore, he might be more open

0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:13.400
<v Speaker 3>to it. But going to him straight away and saying

0:27:13.480 --> 0:27:15.480
<v Speaker 3>let's go into a sex club and have a threesome

0:27:15.680 --> 0:27:19.120
<v Speaker 3>that's zero to one hundred, that is really really overwhelming

0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:19.440
<v Speaker 3>for him.

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah.

0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:21.879
<v Speaker 1>When I read that, I was like, Okay, Like, I

0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:23.919
<v Speaker 1>get it, I get the wanting to explore. I was like,

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:26.800
<v Speaker 1>that's probably a lot for your partner to process, going

0:27:26.840 --> 0:27:30.080
<v Speaker 1>from being like happily monogamous to being like, I want

0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:32.439
<v Speaker 1>to clubs a sex week, which I get it, like

0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:35.119
<v Speaker 1>fucking go for goal, like there's no judgment, like, and

0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:37.159
<v Speaker 1>if he was open to that and receptive to it,

0:27:37.200 --> 0:27:39.359
<v Speaker 1>then that would have been best case scenario. But I

0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:44.280
<v Speaker 1>understand why he has hesitations towards this. I totally agree

0:27:44.320 --> 0:27:46.320
<v Speaker 1>with you, Brier. I think you know what, if you're

0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:49.880
<v Speaker 1>by curious, if you're not sure about your sexuality, and

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:52.639
<v Speaker 1>you are at the moment in one very specific lane

0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 1>and you don't have the opportunity or the option to

0:27:55.400 --> 0:27:59.200
<v Speaker 1>go and explore something that feels innately true to your identity.

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:01.520
<v Speaker 1>There's a chance that you're gonna end up you know,

0:28:01.560 --> 0:28:04.200
<v Speaker 1>And I hate like this whole stereotype of like people

0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:06.680
<v Speaker 1>who are bisexual cheat because I don't think that that's it.

0:28:07.080 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 1>But you may end up cheating if you haven't had

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:14.520
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to explore something that feels really overwhelming for you,

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:17.760
<v Speaker 1>like really powerful for you. So I think those very

0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:21.280
<v Speaker 1>honest conversations need to be had. And maybe instead of

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:23.639
<v Speaker 1>just like being like it has to be all or nothing,

0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe you can talk to your partner about just spicing

0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the relationship up in a way. Maybe it's watching porn,

0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:34.400
<v Speaker 1>girl and girl porn porn totally. Maybe it's getting sex toys.

0:28:34.640 --> 0:28:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, maybe it's a bit more exhibition ast sex.

0:28:36.840 --> 0:28:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Whatever it is that you feel like might bring a

0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 1>bit more excitement to your relationship, but also isn't done

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 1>in a way that's going to fully not just scare

0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:47.320
<v Speaker 1>your partner but also make your partner feel a little

0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 1>bit like intimidated and inferior in your relationship. There are

0:28:50.960 --> 0:28:53.880
<v Speaker 1>things that you can do to ease into those things too,

0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 1>And so recently, for example, lubrication.

0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, ease on in. Slide on it.

0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:02.440
<v Speaker 3>There are things you can do, like recently, we spoke

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:05.960
<v Speaker 3>to Sally Hepworth, an amazing author, and she spoke about

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:07.800
<v Speaker 3>how she was doing some research for a book. If

0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:09.480
<v Speaker 3>you haven't listened to that episode a few weeks ago,

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:10.400
<v Speaker 3>go back and have a listen.

0:29:10.720 --> 0:29:12.440
<v Speaker 1>She was doing some research for this book. She was

0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:14.400
<v Speaker 1>in a monogamous relationship with her husband, but it was

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 1>like a.

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Very sexy book. So she decided to go to a

0:29:18.000 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 2>sex party with her husband.

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Now they went and they were never going to engage

0:29:22.520 --> 0:29:24.720
<v Speaker 3>in sex. Because you can go to these parties where

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:27.120
<v Speaker 3>you were just you're participating in terms of you can

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:29.000
<v Speaker 3>speak to them, you can have conversations, you can watch

0:29:29.000 --> 0:29:31.280
<v Speaker 3>what's going on, you learn what's going on. It's like

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:34.560
<v Speaker 3>a real eacher. It's an introduction. It's a real easy

0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:36.840
<v Speaker 3>and there are things like that. You can go to

0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:39.600
<v Speaker 3>sex clubs. We've spoken to people like Shantel Otton before.

0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:42.600
<v Speaker 3>You can go to sex clubs where again you don't

0:29:42.600 --> 0:29:43.120
<v Speaker 3>have sex.

0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:44.000
<v Speaker 2>You can go to clubs.

0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:46.560
<v Speaker 1>This sounds hectic, but you can go to sex clubs

0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:49.440
<v Speaker 1>where you can be almost in a private room and

0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:52.280
<v Speaker 1>you are watching on you are watching another couple have sex.

0:29:52.360 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Now the other couple know that you're there. It's very consensual.

0:29:55.480 --> 0:29:58.240
<v Speaker 1>They're exhibitionists, they like it. You don't want them to

0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:00.360
<v Speaker 1>know who you are. There are so many things that

0:30:00.400 --> 0:30:03.200
<v Speaker 1>you can do together as a couple to ease into that.

0:30:03.280 --> 0:30:05.880
<v Speaker 1>So maybe you just need to have those conversations. Maybe

0:30:05.920 --> 0:30:07.080
<v Speaker 1>he was just overwhelmed at.

0:30:06.960 --> 0:30:09.040
<v Speaker 3>The start, but there are so many things as a

0:30:09.040 --> 0:30:11.320
<v Speaker 3>couple before you have to end a relationship that you

0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 3>can try first. If you bring these things up, like

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:16.920
<v Speaker 3>Laura said, you can start from smaller things the pawn

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:19.720
<v Speaker 3>and exhibitionism or anything else.

0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Ororism like BRIT's talking about.

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:23.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's so many little things you can try, Like,

0:30:23.640 --> 0:30:26.400
<v Speaker 3>there's a whole spectrum of things. So I think have

0:30:26.520 --> 0:30:31.200
<v Speaker 3>those conversations first, really convey that these are things that

0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:33.080
<v Speaker 3>are important to you and that you do want to try,

0:30:33.120 --> 0:30:34.800
<v Speaker 3>and you do want to try it with your partner.

0:30:34.920 --> 0:30:36.440
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to up and leave. You want to

0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 1>make this work at the end of the day. If

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:41.200
<v Speaker 1>they're that important, and he's adamant that it's not part

0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 1>of his life, unfortunately, you have a really hard decision

0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:46.080
<v Speaker 1>you have to make totally and I agree, Like, I

0:30:46.080 --> 0:30:49.120
<v Speaker 1>think sex is such an important part of a relationship.

0:30:50.000 --> 0:30:52.120
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't mean when I say sex is important, I

0:30:52.120 --> 0:30:54.520
<v Speaker 1>don't mean you have to be having sex. But you've

0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:56.200
<v Speaker 1>got to be on the same page when it comes

0:30:56.240 --> 0:30:58.600
<v Speaker 1>to sex, and right now you're not on the same page.

0:30:58.880 --> 0:31:00.760
<v Speaker 1>So I think the more that you talk about it,

0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the more that you can work towards getting on that

0:31:02.720 --> 0:31:05.240
<v Speaker 1>same page, will mean that the relationship will work out.

0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 1>But right now, if you're feeling like this, and you're

0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:10.600
<v Speaker 1>feeling like this is just such a huge void in

0:31:10.640 --> 0:31:13.960
<v Speaker 1>your relationship, I don't know. I think it's really something

0:31:14.000 --> 0:31:16.040
<v Speaker 1>that you guys have to work on. It's really something

0:31:16.080 --> 0:31:18.520
<v Speaker 1>that I think first it's communication around it and then

0:31:18.560 --> 0:31:20.320
<v Speaker 1>it's actually actioning some of this stuff.

0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Wow, I also want to hear what happens in this, Like,

0:31:24.240 --> 0:31:26.960
