<v Speaker 1>This is the pickup, Hi, guys, it's the pickup with

0:00:40.699 --> 0:00:42.059
<v Speaker 1>Britt Harkley and Laura Burn.

0:00:42.739 --> 0:00:44.459
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if this has ever happened to you, Laura.

0:00:44.539 --> 0:00:46.939
<v Speaker 4>I know we've spoken about it maybe once in relation

0:00:47.099 --> 0:00:50.059
<v Speaker 4>to garlic. But I have like this new discovery the

0:00:50.139 --> 0:00:51.979
<v Speaker 4>last probably two years.

0:00:52.019 --> 0:00:54.099
<v Speaker 3>But I've only just been the last two weeks really

0:00:54.139 --> 0:00:57.859
<v Speaker 3>realized it's something. What's going on. I cannot eat a

0:00:58.019 --> 0:01:02.619
<v Speaker 3>mint without sneezing. That is so weirdly specific because I'm

0:01:02.779 --> 0:01:05.499
<v Speaker 3>I'm allergic to it, but nothing else happens. I'm not allergic.

0:01:05.578 --> 0:01:07.899
<v Speaker 4>Like all I do is sneeze every time within one

0:01:08.019 --> 0:01:10.219
<v Speaker 4>minute of in a MINTI my mouth. I sneeze also

0:01:10.339 --> 0:01:14.859
<v Speaker 4>happens with like listerine, like anything that is minty that

0:01:14.899 --> 0:01:17.419
<v Speaker 4>goes in my mouth, I have a sneezing attack after it.

0:01:17.419 --> 0:01:17.938
<v Speaker 3>Is that weird?

0:01:18.018 --> 0:01:21.419
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Chewinger know if it's weird, just look into the

0:01:21.499 --> 0:01:22.419
<v Speaker 1>light and have a sneeze.

0:01:22.419 --> 0:01:23.979
<v Speaker 3>Nothing like a good sneeze.

0:01:23.578 --> 0:01:25.938
<v Speaker 4>But it's analogy thing that's formed later in life. Why

0:01:25.979 --> 0:01:27.178
<v Speaker 4>do they come out of nowhere?

0:01:27.339 --> 0:01:28.259
<v Speaker 3>I really don't know.

0:01:28.378 --> 0:01:30.779
<v Speaker 1>But the one person who does the most impressive sneezes

0:01:30.818 --> 0:01:33.658
<v Speaker 1>in this race is Produce a grace. No one has

0:01:33.738 --> 0:01:36.018
<v Speaker 1>ever heard anyone sneeze like produce a grace.

0:01:36.139 --> 0:01:39.139
<v Speaker 5>I hate sneezing. Actually say I love to sneeze, but

0:01:39.139 --> 0:01:39.619
<v Speaker 5>that's not true.

0:01:39.658 --> 0:01:41.459
<v Speaker 1>It's because you do seventeen of them in a row.

0:01:41.658 --> 0:01:43.619
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to try and record you next time,

0:01:43.658 --> 0:01:46.499
<v Speaker 1>just to play it out. It's almost like an unbelievable feat.

0:01:46.859 --> 0:01:49.058
<v Speaker 1>It is, but it takes years off my life.

0:01:49.099 --> 0:01:51.179
<v Speaker 5>Every time I do it, I swear, and every time

0:01:51.179 --> 0:01:53.259
<v Speaker 5>I'm driving, that's the last time I'm driving.

0:01:53.259 --> 0:01:54.819
<v Speaker 3>Because you can't sneeze with your eyes open.

0:01:55.059 --> 0:01:58.499
<v Speaker 4>I think it's actually physiologically impossible just sneeze with your

0:01:58.539 --> 0:02:01.179
<v Speaker 4>eyes open. I remember, I'm trying really hard when there's

0:02:01.179 --> 0:02:02.859
<v Speaker 4>seventeen in a row, when you're on the highway.

0:02:03.419 --> 0:02:05.539
<v Speaker 1>I remember when I went for my driving my learner's

0:02:05.579 --> 0:02:08.538
<v Speaker 1>lesson and I sneezed twice, and the guy in the

0:02:08.579 --> 0:02:10.739
<v Speaker 1>seat next to me, who was doing the testing, he

0:02:10.739 --> 0:02:12.459
<v Speaker 1>made a joke that if I sneezed again and I

0:02:12.459 --> 0:02:13.819
<v Speaker 1>had to keep closing my eyes, he'd.

0:02:13.699 --> 0:02:15.139
<v Speaker 3>Have to fail me. And I was like, I think

0:02:15.179 --> 0:02:18.059
<v Speaker 3>he was joking. I think he was joking. But you can't.

0:02:18.138 --> 0:02:19.819
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're right, you can't try and sneeze with your

0:02:19.859 --> 0:02:23.698
<v Speaker 1>eyes open. It's a real, real experience. Now, being that

0:02:23.779 --> 0:02:26.619
<v Speaker 1>it is Thursday, we have asked on cut, where you

0:02:26.619 --> 0:02:30.339
<v Speaker 1>guys call up. We answer your deepest, darkest burning questions

0:02:30.418 --> 0:02:33.299
<v Speaker 1>and we do our absolute best to answer them. Now,

0:02:34.019 --> 0:02:36.739
<v Speaker 1>we've never had a question quite like this one. We've

0:02:36.739 --> 0:02:39.659
<v Speaker 1>got Gabrielle on the line and she has just found

0:02:39.739 --> 0:02:43.659
<v Speaker 1>out very recently that her husband has been cheating on

0:02:43.698 --> 0:02:44.779
<v Speaker 1>her or having an affair.

0:02:45.179 --> 0:02:50.538
<v Speaker 3>Gabrielle, welcome to the show. Hello, what's been going on?

0:02:50.779 --> 0:02:52.179
<v Speaker 4>How long have you been with your husband? And how

0:02:52.219 --> 0:02:53.859
<v Speaker 4>long have you found out he's cheating on you?

0:02:54.819 --> 0:02:58.979
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so we've been together relationship for twenty nine years, wow,

0:02:59.019 --> 0:03:05.458
<v Speaker 2>married three years, two kids, and apparently he has been

0:03:05.499 --> 0:03:07.819
<v Speaker 2>having an affair for five years.

0:03:08.099 --> 0:03:09.418
<v Speaker 3>How did you do you find that out?

0:03:10.659 --> 0:03:15.499
<v Speaker 2>Well, long story short. Normally, his phone has been attached

0:03:15.538 --> 0:03:20.819
<v Speaker 2>to him consistently. He happened to leave it in the

0:03:20.899 --> 0:03:23.978
<v Speaker 2>kitchen one night and I heard a ding go off,

0:03:24.339 --> 0:03:27.939
<v Speaker 2>so naturally I just picked it up, thinking nothing of it,

0:03:28.659 --> 0:03:32.739
<v Speaker 2>went to hand it to him, and obviously discovered a

0:03:32.779 --> 0:03:34.619
<v Speaker 2>lovely naked woman on his phone.

0:03:34.619 --> 0:03:37.779
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, Gabrielle, So is it been a five

0:03:37.859 --> 0:03:39.219
<v Speaker 1>year affair with the same woman?

0:03:40.099 --> 0:03:43.859
<v Speaker 3>Yes? Wow? How long ago did you find out all

0:03:43.859 --> 0:03:44.459
<v Speaker 3>this information?

0:03:45.379 --> 0:03:47.259
<v Speaker 2>Probably about four months ago.

0:03:47.179 --> 0:03:49.179
<v Speaker 1>So you're still probably really in the thick of all

0:03:49.179 --> 0:03:51.819
<v Speaker 1>of it. Have you made any decisions? Are you wanting

0:03:51.939 --> 0:03:55.699
<v Speaker 1>to stay? Are you unsure? Like what is happening for you?

0:03:56.739 --> 0:04:03.219
<v Speaker 2>Well, we are still living together, obviously. He claimed that

0:04:03.699 --> 0:04:08.499
<v Speaker 2>they haven't actually been intimate together, which is my burning question.

0:04:08.579 --> 0:04:13.299
<v Speaker 2>And do I believe that? No, And each morning I

0:04:13.339 --> 0:04:15.419
<v Speaker 2>wake up, I guess and I go, oh, I'd love

0:04:15.499 --> 0:04:17.939
<v Speaker 2>to talk to her. Also, is that the other question?

0:04:18.459 --> 0:04:20.259
<v Speaker 2>I really have this craving.

0:04:19.979 --> 0:04:22.699
<v Speaker 6>To talk to this woman, which is nautral strange.

0:04:22.819 --> 0:04:24.739
<v Speaker 3>No, that's not I don't think that's strange at all.

0:04:24.779 --> 0:04:27.659
<v Speaker 4>Like this is someone that has infiltrated your life directly

0:04:27.699 --> 0:04:30.019
<v Speaker 4>and indirectly for five years.

0:04:30.219 --> 0:04:32.539
<v Speaker 1>I mean Look, there are people who definitely have come

0:04:32.579 --> 0:04:36.339
<v Speaker 1>back from infidelity in relationships, but only if their partner

0:04:36.539 --> 0:04:39.139
<v Speaker 1>is really truthful and forthcoming about it all. Like if

0:04:39.219 --> 0:04:41.779
<v Speaker 1>you if you are actually feeling like, Okay, I know

0:04:42.019 --> 0:04:43.059
<v Speaker 1>I've got the information.

0:04:43.219 --> 0:04:46.219
<v Speaker 3>Now we can go to therapy together. Things have changed.

0:04:46.299 --> 0:04:49.379
<v Speaker 1>Like if there's no action in changing anything, then you're

0:04:49.419 --> 0:04:52.499
<v Speaker 1>just and you're left with so many unanswered questions. And

0:04:52.579 --> 0:04:55.539
<v Speaker 1>also when you are seeking answers to those questions, if

0:04:55.539 --> 0:04:58.579
<v Speaker 1>you're being shut down or you're not getting closure or

0:04:58.619 --> 0:05:01.419
<v Speaker 1>any of this, like you can't heal because you're expected

0:05:01.459 --> 0:05:03.379
<v Speaker 1>to just believe what's being told to you from the

0:05:03.419 --> 0:05:05.459
<v Speaker 1>person who's been lying to you for five years about

0:05:05.459 --> 0:05:07.219
<v Speaker 1>something correct.

0:05:07.899 --> 0:05:10.579
<v Speaker 3>So is he still talking to her? Has he blocked her? Like?

0:05:10.619 --> 0:05:12.179
<v Speaker 3>How is where are things at now?

0:05:13.139 --> 0:05:16.979
<v Speaker 2>Well, apparently it's all been blocked. We haven't heard from

0:05:17.019 --> 0:05:20.259
<v Speaker 2>her obviously. I think that the wall that blocks me

0:05:20.339 --> 0:05:23.059
<v Speaker 2>now is he does still get quite defensive if you

0:05:23.179 --> 0:05:25.179
<v Speaker 2>go to ask a question or talk about it and

0:05:25.699 --> 0:05:29.659
<v Speaker 2>sort of says you should not be over it, but

0:05:30.259 --> 0:05:31.299
<v Speaker 2>kind of be over it.

0:05:31.339 --> 0:05:34.379
<v Speaker 3>If that may No, that is rubbing, and.

0:05:34.339 --> 0:05:37.499
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking the time frame for me is my biggest

0:05:37.539 --> 0:05:42.019
<v Speaker 2>thing it hasn't just been a couple of months. It's

0:05:42.059 --> 0:05:45.099
<v Speaker 2>actually been five years, and you know we're being married,

0:05:45.099 --> 0:05:46.259
<v Speaker 2>I've had a baby.

0:05:46.739 --> 0:05:48.619
<v Speaker 1>He was doing this at the same time that you

0:05:48.659 --> 0:05:50.819
<v Speaker 1>were getting married, that you were walking down the aisle,

0:05:50.859 --> 0:05:52.699
<v Speaker 1>or that you were choosing to have a baby together.

0:05:52.939 --> 0:05:55.059
<v Speaker 4>But also, he doesn't get to do this to you

0:05:55.139 --> 0:05:57.419
<v Speaker 4>and then tell you to get over it and move

0:05:57.419 --> 0:05:59.859
<v Speaker 4>on like sorry, that's not how this works. He either

0:05:59.899 --> 0:06:02.979
<v Speaker 4>has to be open and it's this goes now how

0:06:03.059 --> 0:06:04.699
<v Speaker 4>you want it to go. If you want access to

0:06:04.739 --> 0:06:06.899
<v Speaker 4>his phone and he wants to save the relationship, he

0:06:06.939 --> 0:06:08.819
<v Speaker 4>gives it to you. If you want to contact her

0:06:08.859 --> 0:06:10.979
<v Speaker 4>and ask her if you want to know anything about

0:06:11.019 --> 0:06:14.819
<v Speaker 4>that situation. He has to be willing to be completely

0:06:14.859 --> 0:06:16.699
<v Speaker 4>open with you. He doesn't get to gaslight you and

0:06:16.739 --> 0:06:18.219
<v Speaker 4>now say you should be over this by now.

0:06:18.859 --> 0:06:23.779
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, look I agree with this woman. Yeah, with children

0:06:23.979 --> 0:06:26.579
<v Speaker 2>and thinking that life soul.

0:06:28.619 --> 0:06:30.699
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think I just thought it.

0:06:31.059 --> 0:06:36.459
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think you're totally in your right if you

0:06:36.539 --> 0:06:38.579
<v Speaker 1>want to to reach out to this other woman to

0:06:38.739 --> 0:06:41.579
<v Speaker 1>find out more of the truth, if you think that

0:06:41.619 --> 0:06:43.859
<v Speaker 1>you might get more of the truth from her and

0:06:43.939 --> 0:06:46.219
<v Speaker 1>that might give you some sort of lidity enclosure.

0:06:46.659 --> 0:06:48.659
<v Speaker 3>You are absolutely in your right to do that, and

0:06:48.659 --> 0:06:49.259
<v Speaker 3>I also.

0:06:49.019 --> 0:06:51.659
<v Speaker 1>Don't think that you're breaching anything in the relationship by

0:06:51.699 --> 0:06:54.459
<v Speaker 1>doing so, because at the moment, it sounds like one

0:06:54.499 --> 0:06:56.059
<v Speaker 1>of the big things that you can't get your head

0:06:56.099 --> 0:06:58.939
<v Speaker 1>around is whether you're being lied to as to whether

0:06:59.059 --> 0:07:01.579
<v Speaker 1>or not something physical happened or didn't happen, or whether

0:07:01.619 --> 0:07:02.899
<v Speaker 1>it was just text messages.

0:07:03.979 --> 0:07:05.779
<v Speaker 3>You are not alone.

0:07:05.859 --> 0:07:07.579
<v Speaker 1>I think anyone who's in their car is listening to

0:07:07.579 --> 0:07:10.659
<v Speaker 1>this right now would absolutely be saying, Okay, if that

0:07:10.739 --> 0:07:13.579
<v Speaker 1>messaging has been going on back and forth, nude messages

0:07:13.619 --> 0:07:17.779
<v Speaker 1>for five years, it's probably unlikely that nothing more happened.

0:07:17.819 --> 0:07:19.899
<v Speaker 1>But you know what, even if nothing more did happen,

0:07:20.259 --> 0:07:24.779
<v Speaker 1>that's still such a huge infidelity that's happened in your

0:07:24.819 --> 0:07:27.899
<v Speaker 1>relationship for five years that you're allowed to navigate this

0:07:28.019 --> 0:07:28.979
<v Speaker 1>how is best for you.

0:07:29.019 --> 0:07:32.259
<v Speaker 2>I think it's been eating at me and I'm like,

0:07:33.139 --> 0:07:35.259
<v Speaker 2>should I shouldn't I because.

0:07:35.979 --> 0:07:38.019
<v Speaker 3>I think I would call guys in this situation, what

0:07:38.059 --> 0:07:39.419
<v Speaker 3>would you do, Britt? I mean, I have been in

0:07:39.459 --> 0:07:40.099
<v Speaker 3>that situation.

0:07:40.339 --> 0:07:41.739
<v Speaker 4>I'm not married with kids, but you know, I was

0:07:41.779 --> 0:07:43.979
<v Speaker 4>with someone for six years that I found had a

0:07:43.979 --> 0:07:46.259
<v Speaker 4>double life. And I did contact her and we spoke

0:07:46.299 --> 0:07:49.859
<v Speaker 4>for hours and I got all the information. The difference

0:07:50.579 --> 0:07:53.379
<v Speaker 4>was she didn't know I existed either, so we were

0:07:53.379 --> 0:07:54.659
<v Speaker 4>both sort of in silos.

0:07:54.739 --> 0:07:56.819
<v Speaker 3>So this woman might not want to talk to you.

0:07:57.379 --> 0:07:59.499
<v Speaker 4>I think if you're going to go down that track,

0:07:59.699 --> 0:08:02.219
<v Speaker 4>I would take a really gentle approach with her and

0:08:02.259 --> 0:08:04.339
<v Speaker 4>just say, look, I just want to know. I'm not

0:08:04.379 --> 0:08:05.779
<v Speaker 4>going to have a go at you. There's nothing that's

0:08:05.819 --> 0:08:07.299
<v Speaker 4>going to happen. I just want the information.

0:08:07.499 --> 0:08:10.299
<v Speaker 2>Like, no, what's done is done at the end of

0:08:10.339 --> 0:08:12.419
<v Speaker 2>the day. Yeah, it's still eat at me.

0:08:12.659 --> 0:08:14.739
<v Speaker 6>Is he really been?

0:08:15.739 --> 0:08:18.859
<v Speaker 2>Like, yeah, he's got a lot to lose, Gabrielle.

0:08:18.899 --> 0:08:20.859
<v Speaker 1>If you do speak to her, though, please give us

0:08:20.899 --> 0:08:24.179
<v Speaker 1>a call and let us know what happens, because honestly,

0:08:24.259 --> 0:08:26.819
<v Speaker 1>if I was in your situation, I would be calling.

0:08:26.819 --> 0:08:28.219
<v Speaker 3>That's where I would be at. And you don't even

0:08:28.219 --> 0:08:29.819
<v Speaker 3>need to tell your husband you're calling. To be honest,

0:08:30.019 --> 0:08:32.059
<v Speaker 3>just just do it. Just do it.

0:08:32.179 --> 0:08:35.978
<v Speaker 2>Ye, I definitely wouldn't devolve information.

0:08:36.219 --> 0:08:38.699
<v Speaker 3>That's yeah, Please let us know how it goes.

0:08:39.379 --> 0:08:40.539
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much.

0:08:41.339 --> 0:08:43.218
<v Speaker 3>We're so sorry you're in this situation.

0:08:44.899 --> 0:08:47.539
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever done your DNA test like an ancestry

0:08:47.539 --> 0:08:48.978
<v Speaker 1>test or I actually.

0:08:48.779 --> 0:08:51.219
<v Speaker 3>Haven't, but I've never felt the need to. Are you

0:08:51.339 --> 0:08:51.979
<v Speaker 3>just a bit.

0:08:51.859 --> 0:08:54.819
<v Speaker 1>Curious about like I don't know your family tree?

0:08:55.059 --> 0:08:57.338
<v Speaker 3>And like what it is? What's your DNA maker? I

0:08:57.419 --> 0:08:59.739
<v Speaker 3>mean if you are questioning where I'm from.

0:08:59.819 --> 0:09:02.299
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, if you have questions about me, I can definitely

0:09:02.339 --> 0:09:02.979
<v Speaker 4>go and get it done.

0:09:02.979 --> 0:09:06.379
<v Speaker 3>Don't belong to my parents? No, I this going. Do

0:09:06.379 --> 0:09:09.579
<v Speaker 3>you know something I don't pretty need? This is your life?

0:09:09.819 --> 0:09:09.979
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:09:10.179 --> 0:09:11.619
<v Speaker 3>I find it really fascinating.

0:09:11.659 --> 0:09:13.979
<v Speaker 1>And so my husband and I we actually did DNA

0:09:14.099 --> 0:09:18.739
<v Speaker 1>tests together recently, ancestry DNA tests, and we got an

0:09:18.739 --> 0:09:22.019
<v Speaker 1>email saying that their results were inconclusive, so we weren't

0:09:22.059 --> 0:09:25.499
<v Speaker 1>able to get our results back. And I don't know,

0:09:25.579 --> 0:09:27.259
<v Speaker 1>but I'm gonna do it again because I made these

0:09:27.259 --> 0:09:28.899
<v Speaker 1>big jokes to Matt and I was like, what if

0:09:28.939 --> 0:09:31.019
<v Speaker 1>like they found out something, because when you do it,

0:09:31.099 --> 0:09:32.139
<v Speaker 1>you have to submit like.

0:09:32.299 --> 0:09:34.939
<v Speaker 3>This is my dad, this is my mom, this, and

0:09:35.019 --> 0:09:35.939
<v Speaker 3>you submit.

0:09:35.619 --> 0:09:37.699
<v Speaker 1>As much as your family tree as you possibly can.

0:09:37.779 --> 0:09:39.339
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, what if the reason why they

0:09:39.419 --> 0:09:43.459
<v Speaker 1>kept it is because they found out something they don't

0:09:43.459 --> 0:09:45.619
<v Speaker 1>want us to know about it, like maybe your dad's

0:09:45.699 --> 0:09:46.299
<v Speaker 1>not your dad.

0:09:46.819 --> 0:09:48.659
<v Speaker 3>They don't want to blow up your life. Maybe my

0:09:48.739 --> 0:09:50.779
<v Speaker 3>uncle's not my uncle. I don't know, but like, look,

0:09:50.779 --> 0:09:52.219
<v Speaker 3>I think they'd tell you if your uncle of your

0:09:52.299 --> 0:09:54.338
<v Speaker 3>uncle's that's not that impactful. Well, I don't know, I

0:09:54.379 --> 0:09:54.939
<v Speaker 3>think it is.

0:09:54.979 --> 0:09:57.819
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, this article that came out, so a woman kind

0:09:57.819 --> 0:09:59.539
<v Speaker 1>of she went and did all the different DNA tests.

0:09:59.579 --> 0:10:01.499
<v Speaker 1>There's a couple that are really big ones in Australia,

0:10:01.579 --> 0:10:05.019
<v Speaker 1>ones my heritage obviously ancestry DNA, which I think most

0:10:05.019 --> 0:10:07.259
<v Speaker 1>people know of. And then there's also another one which

0:10:07.299 --> 0:10:09.379
<v Speaker 1>is kind of like the Crem Delachreme of DNA tests

0:10:09.379 --> 0:10:10.379
<v Speaker 1>called twenty three.

0:10:10.179 --> 0:10:13.379
<v Speaker 4>And me, hasn't that just gone into what's it called receivership?

0:10:13.419 --> 0:10:15.419
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, maybe you know more about it than I. You're

0:10:15.459 --> 0:10:16.859
<v Speaker 3>like the Krem de la Crem. I'm like, it just

0:10:16.859 --> 0:10:17.539
<v Speaker 3>went down and go go.

0:10:17.659 --> 0:10:19.619
<v Speaker 1>Do you know why they say it's the Krem dela

0:10:19.619 --> 0:10:21.619
<v Speaker 1>crem purely because it's the most expensive. It's meant to

0:10:21.619 --> 0:10:24.979
<v Speaker 1>be the most thorough. But in the experience of this woman,

0:10:25.139 --> 0:10:27.819
<v Speaker 1>it absolutely wasn't the case. But one thing she did

0:10:27.859 --> 0:10:31.499
<v Speaker 1>find out plot twist. She found out that her childhood crush,

0:10:31.539 --> 0:10:34.259
<v Speaker 1>who she had been obsessed with and in love with,

0:10:34.579 --> 0:10:37.979
<v Speaker 1>for the majority of her adolescents turned out to be

0:10:38.099 --> 0:10:42.019
<v Speaker 1>her cousin. Imagine if you found out not when you know,

0:10:42.179 --> 0:10:44.299
<v Speaker 1>not a childhood crush. Imagine if you found out like

0:10:44.699 --> 0:10:45.339
<v Speaker 1>you were dating.

0:10:45.539 --> 0:10:48.779
<v Speaker 4>There was a couple that found out in America. She

0:10:48.859 --> 0:10:51.139
<v Speaker 4>did the DNA test. She found out that her husband

0:10:51.219 --> 0:10:54.219
<v Speaker 4>or fiance was a direct relation to her and she

0:10:54.379 --> 0:10:56.179
<v Speaker 4>was going to bury that information.

0:10:56.259 --> 0:10:57.939
<v Speaker 3>Did she tell him I can't remember, I'm on the.

0:10:57.979 --> 0:11:00.019
<v Speaker 4>Edge of my seat, Producier Grace Park to look it up.

0:11:00.299 --> 0:11:02.499
<v Speaker 5>Okay, So there was a couple who discovered, after ten

0:11:02.579 --> 0:11:05.019
<v Speaker 5>years of marriage and having three children, that they were cousins.

0:11:05.179 --> 0:11:07.019
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and they found out viral D.

0:11:07.459 --> 0:11:09.699
<v Speaker 1>You just stay if you're being married and you've got kids,

0:11:09.739 --> 0:11:10.499
<v Speaker 1>it's goorn too far.

0:11:10.619 --> 0:11:12.458
<v Speaker 3>You're in two D. You've already done all that.

0:11:12.579 --> 0:11:15.459
<v Speaker 1>You're in white LOADUS territory, just staying there. Look, I

0:11:15.459 --> 0:11:17.419
<v Speaker 1>mean we opened up the text line and also I

0:11:17.419 --> 0:11:19.499
<v Speaker 1>did a call out on my Instagram for this. You

0:11:19.579 --> 0:11:23.019
<v Speaker 1>would be shocked by how many people discovered really salacious

0:11:23.019 --> 0:11:25.899
<v Speaker 1>things about their families or about their lives. This One

0:11:25.899 --> 0:11:28.499
<v Speaker 1>girl wrote in and said that her grandma had six

0:11:28.619 --> 0:11:32.619
<v Speaker 1>kids and they all did their ancestry tests as grandchildren,

0:11:32.939 --> 0:11:35.139
<v Speaker 1>and they found out that the grandma had been having

0:11:35.139 --> 0:11:38.019
<v Speaker 1>an affair with the farmer who lived on the farm

0:11:38.059 --> 0:11:41.659
<v Speaker 1>next door in Italian farmer, and the youngest three children

0:11:41.779 --> 0:11:45.379
<v Speaker 1>were not actually their grandfathers, but it was this Italian farmer.

0:11:45.499 --> 0:11:48.259
<v Speaker 1>So three of the kids had the Italian heritage in

0:11:48.339 --> 0:11:50.099
<v Speaker 1>DNA and they were all linked to a different dad.

0:11:50.139 --> 0:11:52.579
<v Speaker 3>They were all having a rumble behind the shed. No,

0:11:52.619 --> 0:11:55.419
<v Speaker 3>they weren't just her, just the grandma. The kids absolutely

0:11:55.419 --> 0:11:57.899
<v Speaker 3>were not rumbling. They were they all weren't. But they

0:11:57.979 --> 0:11:59.459
<v Speaker 3>were wow. Good on her.

0:11:59.619 --> 0:12:02.458
<v Speaker 1>People who found out that their biological dad just wasn't

0:12:02.499 --> 0:12:03.739
<v Speaker 1>like their dad, wasn't their dad.

0:12:03.899 --> 0:12:05.099
<v Speaker 3>Loads of those came in.

0:12:05.179 --> 0:12:07.819
<v Speaker 1>That would be a really sad discovery imagining thirty years

0:12:07.859 --> 0:12:10.019
<v Speaker 1>old and finding out that your dad's not actually.

0:12:09.739 --> 0:12:12.539
<v Speaker 3>Your biological dad. No, that that is gut wrenching, and

0:12:12.579 --> 0:12:15.379
<v Speaker 3>your mum did the dirty all those there.

0:12:15.499 --> 0:12:17.939
<v Speaker 1>Another girl wrote, my sister found out that she has

0:12:17.979 --> 0:12:20.619
<v Speaker 1>a different dad. There's a lot of dads out here

0:12:20.619 --> 0:12:22.659
<v Speaker 1>that are finding out that they either have kids that

0:12:22.659 --> 0:12:25.019
<v Speaker 1>they didn't know they had, or that they're not the

0:12:25.179 --> 0:12:26.659
<v Speaker 1>father to the kids they thought they did have.

0:12:26.859 --> 0:12:32.779
<v Speaker 3>I just think let dead dogs lie. What that's the saying,

0:12:32.819 --> 0:12:33.179
<v Speaker 3>isn't it.

0:12:33.339 --> 0:12:35.179
<v Speaker 4>This is why I would worry about going and doing

0:12:35.179 --> 0:12:36.979
<v Speaker 4>a test, Not that I think anything would come of it,

0:12:37.019 --> 0:12:38.059
<v Speaker 4>but I'm happy with my life.

0:12:38.139 --> 0:12:39.099
<v Speaker 3>I don't need the disruption.

0:12:39.379 --> 0:12:40.979
<v Speaker 4>If it came out then my dad wasn't my dad,

0:12:41.019 --> 0:12:41.939
<v Speaker 4>which he definitely is.

0:12:42.459 --> 0:12:43.739
<v Speaker 3>Hang On, I don't want to stick go anywhere. My

0:12:43.819 --> 0:12:44.379
<v Speaker 3>dad is my dad.

0:12:44.419 --> 0:12:47.019
<v Speaker 4>I don't have any queries, but I'm just saying, sometimes

0:12:47.059 --> 0:12:48.978
<v Speaker 4>I think ignorance is bliss.

0:12:49.019 --> 0:12:49.859
<v Speaker 3>How's this one?

0:12:50.339 --> 0:12:53.539
<v Speaker 1>This girl found out that Ivan Malatt is her dad's

0:12:53.579 --> 0:12:57.139
<v Speaker 1>second cousin. See you know that's that's a skeleton in

0:12:57.139 --> 0:12:58.139
<v Speaker 1>a wardrobe and a closet.

0:12:58.139 --> 0:13:00.019
<v Speaker 3>You don't need to know about it. You're related to

0:13:00.059 --> 0:13:02.179
<v Speaker 3>a psychopath. What are you gonna do with that information? Anyway?

0:13:02.179 --> 0:13:04.699
<v Speaker 3>We've got a caller on the line, Rosie. What did

0:13:04.699 --> 0:13:06.659
<v Speaker 3>you find out from your ancestry DNA.

0:13:06.819 --> 0:13:11.059
<v Speaker 6>Hiber Yeah, it wasn't myself directly, but it was a

0:13:11.099 --> 0:13:13.859
<v Speaker 6>family member. It was probably in her late fifties at

0:13:13.859 --> 0:13:16.779
<v Speaker 6>the time, who'd been doing the whole ancestry journey for

0:13:16.819 --> 0:13:20.619
<v Speaker 6>a long amount of time with her sister and her

0:13:20.899 --> 0:13:23.779
<v Speaker 6>dad wasn't her real dad, and it was actually the

0:13:23.819 --> 0:13:25.659
<v Speaker 6>next door neighbor when she was growing up.

0:13:25.819 --> 0:13:28.419
<v Speaker 3>Does linking to the neighbor though, how did she get there?

0:13:29.019 --> 0:13:32.699
<v Speaker 6>I think maybe that family had also been doing kind

0:13:32.699 --> 0:13:34.859
<v Speaker 6>of their own journey, so there was already DNA kind

0:13:34.859 --> 0:13:38.139
<v Speaker 6>of in the system that was able to be linked. Yeah,

0:13:38.179 --> 0:13:38.899
<v Speaker 6>a bit of a shock.

0:13:39.419 --> 0:13:41.699
<v Speaker 3>So did his neighbor. What's the outcome here? Did the

0:13:41.699 --> 0:13:43.299
<v Speaker 3>neighbor take her on? As like the dad?

0:13:44.419 --> 0:13:46.659
<v Speaker 6>So look, I'm not sure if he was actually alive,

0:13:46.699 --> 0:13:48.659
<v Speaker 6>but I do know that she's now in touch with

0:13:48.739 --> 0:13:51.499
<v Speaker 6>the children that he did have, So she has kind

0:13:51.539 --> 0:13:54.059
<v Speaker 6>of got other siblings out of there, and she's in

0:13:54.339 --> 0:13:56.019
<v Speaker 6>very much the same mindset as she said for it,

0:13:56.179 --> 0:13:58.979
<v Speaker 6>Like you know, my great grandfather was her dad, that's.

0:13:58.779 --> 0:13:59.499
<v Speaker 2>Who raised her.

0:13:59.619 --> 0:14:02.579
<v Speaker 6>So that's still kind of her opinion. But kind of

0:14:02.619 --> 0:14:04.499
<v Speaker 6>good story is which has yeah, kind of got some

0:14:04.539 --> 0:14:05.539
<v Speaker 6>more family members out of it.

0:14:05.659 --> 0:14:07.499
<v Speaker 3>So that's nice, all right, you sold me, I'll go

0:14:07.539 --> 0:14:09.739
<v Speaker 3>do one. I want to do one because I'm frightened

0:14:09.739 --> 0:14:10.659
<v Speaker 3>to what I might find out.

0:14:10.739 --> 0:14:12.579
<v Speaker 4>To be honest, you need to do one because you've

0:14:12.619 --> 0:14:14.459
<v Speaker 4>done it and it came back inconclusive.

0:14:14.619 --> 0:14:15.979
<v Speaker 3>So either they're saying that you're.

0:14:15.859 --> 0:14:18.379
<v Speaker 4>One of those avatars and your DNA doesn't match the

0:14:18.459 --> 0:14:20.779
<v Speaker 4>humans or something is a myth, So we need to

0:14:20.779 --> 0:14:21.739
<v Speaker 4>get to the bottom of that.

0:14:21.739 --> 0:14:23.179
<v Speaker 3>That is not a story arc that I want to

0:14:23.219 --> 0:14:24.299
<v Speaker 3>unpack on radio.

0:14:24.499 --> 0:14:28.179
<v Speaker 4>That you're an avatar, that you're not related to your parents.

0:14:28.939 --> 0:14:32.699
<v Speaker 1>It's not a surprise to anyone about when we speak

0:14:32.699 --> 0:14:35.939
<v Speaker 1>about postnatal depression and how it affects women who are

0:14:35.979 --> 0:14:37.179
<v Speaker 1>going through that.

0:14:37.299 --> 0:14:39.899
<v Speaker 3>Incredibly just full on.

0:14:39.899 --> 0:14:43.259
<v Speaker 1>Time after having a baby, that postnatal time, your hormones

0:14:43.259 --> 0:14:45.859
<v Speaker 1>are all over the place, the lack of sleep, the

0:14:45.939 --> 0:14:49.579
<v Speaker 1>transitioning in motherhood, like there are so many changes, and

0:14:50.219 --> 0:14:53.019
<v Speaker 1>the study suggests that one in seven women in Australia

0:14:53.339 --> 0:14:56.619
<v Speaker 1>will actually suffer from postnatal depression after having a baby.

0:14:57.219 --> 0:15:00.219
<v Speaker 1>But something I found really really interesting and like this

0:15:00.299 --> 0:15:02.739
<v Speaker 1>came up in an article, but it's also a conversation

0:15:02.779 --> 0:15:04.899
<v Speaker 1>I had recently with a friend of mine, and that

0:15:05.019 --> 0:15:08.419
<v Speaker 1>is that one in ten new dads also experienced walk

0:15:08.659 --> 0:15:12.899
<v Speaker 1>described as postnatal depression. Now, I would say very few

0:15:12.899 --> 0:15:16.219
<v Speaker 1>people would ever have kind of correlated this idea of

0:15:16.219 --> 0:15:19.139
<v Speaker 1>postnatal depression with men, and even given it the airtime,

0:15:19.179 --> 0:15:21.339
<v Speaker 1>I think there's so much focus that's put on women

0:15:21.339 --> 0:15:23.819
<v Speaker 1>who are having babies and rightly so, like it's incredibly

0:15:23.819 --> 0:15:27.019
<v Speaker 1>taxing for women. But I remember sitting down with a

0:15:27.019 --> 0:15:30.899
<v Speaker 1>good maid of mind and we're talking about having kids,

0:15:30.899 --> 0:15:33.179
<v Speaker 1>and he was talking about when he had his first baby,

0:15:33.699 --> 0:15:36.419
<v Speaker 1>and he said, you know, I always pictured that i'd

0:15:36.419 --> 0:15:38.739
<v Speaker 1>have my first baby and it would be this moment

0:15:38.779 --> 0:15:41.579
<v Speaker 1>when I held them and I'd be just full of

0:15:41.659 --> 0:15:43.779
<v Speaker 1>joy and cry and all the things that you see

0:15:43.819 --> 0:15:47.219
<v Speaker 1>on social media. And he was like, I held him,

0:15:47.699 --> 0:15:50.859
<v Speaker 1>I felt really absent. He's like, I walked out of

0:15:50.859 --> 0:15:54.819
<v Speaker 1>the hospital and I burst out crying. And it really

0:15:54.899 --> 0:15:57.099
<v Speaker 1>hit me because I think we think and they were

0:15:57.099 --> 0:16:00.859
<v Speaker 1>going to be overloaded with this flood of love. But

0:16:01.019 --> 0:16:02.379
<v Speaker 1>he was telling me, he was like, you know what

0:16:02.899 --> 0:16:05.579
<v Speaker 1>happened for me is that I grew to love my child.

0:16:05.659 --> 0:16:07.459
<v Speaker 1>I grew to love being a dad, and I fell

0:16:07.459 --> 0:16:09.379
<v Speaker 1>in love with him as he kind of turned into

0:16:09.419 --> 0:16:13.539
<v Speaker 1>this little person. But he really experienced postnatal depression. And

0:16:13.539 --> 0:16:16.459
<v Speaker 1>I think that there's more dads coming forward talking about this. Well.

0:16:16.499 --> 0:16:19.619
<v Speaker 4>I think there reason we don't necessarily associate men as

0:16:19.699 --> 0:16:22.139
<v Speaker 4>much with post natal depression is because a huge part

0:16:22.179 --> 0:16:25.019
<v Speaker 4>of the postnatal depression is linked to the hormones and

0:16:25.259 --> 0:16:27.499
<v Speaker 4>we're like, oh, cool, Well, the men's bodies haven't changed,

0:16:27.539 --> 0:16:29.459
<v Speaker 4>and they haven't been flooded with the hormones, and they

0:16:29.459 --> 0:16:31.859
<v Speaker 4>haven't just gone through a traumatic birth, and they aren't

0:16:31.859 --> 0:16:34.299
<v Speaker 4>trying to physically keep it alive with the breast, So

0:16:34.339 --> 0:16:38.099
<v Speaker 4>people don't necessarily associate it straight away. But I think

0:16:38.139 --> 0:16:42.259
<v Speaker 4>we have to realize that their life also does change drastically,

0:16:42.739 --> 0:16:46.179
<v Speaker 4>and the lack of hormones is what also keeps them

0:16:46.219 --> 0:16:49.139
<v Speaker 4>from having that almost natural sort of a bond that's

0:16:49.459 --> 0:16:51.699
<v Speaker 4>I mean, not every mother gets, but it's what helped

0:16:51.739 --> 0:16:54.059
<v Speaker 4>moms have that initial bond, and the men they're not

0:16:54.139 --> 0:16:56.619
<v Speaker 4>doing that. They haven't carried it and had that connection

0:16:56.699 --> 0:16:57.819
<v Speaker 4>with it for nine months.

0:16:57.819 --> 0:16:59.819
<v Speaker 3>The flood of love is how it's described.

0:16:59.859 --> 0:17:02.579
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, and I also think, I mean something that

0:17:03.139 --> 0:17:08.059
<v Speaker 1>is very relevant, and I guess a good dad probably

0:17:08.138 --> 0:17:11.658
<v Speaker 1>doesn't to make it about himself in that environment. I

0:17:11.699 --> 0:17:13.579
<v Speaker 1>think it would be pretty misled for a man to

0:17:13.579 --> 0:17:15.619
<v Speaker 1>be like, well, i'm having a hard time too. They're

0:17:15.619 --> 0:17:17.418
<v Speaker 1>not going to get a lot of sympathy out of

0:17:17.419 --> 0:17:19.939
<v Speaker 1>that situation, and so it really does mean that those

0:17:19.939 --> 0:17:22.619
<v Speaker 1>men who are struggling don't talk about the facts that

0:17:22.659 --> 0:17:25.419
<v Speaker 1>they're struggling because they also can read a room and

0:17:25.459 --> 0:17:27.859
<v Speaker 1>they realize that well, they probably it's not their time

0:17:27.899 --> 0:17:29.579
<v Speaker 1>to have the airtime to talk about it, and so

0:17:30.219 --> 0:17:33.579
<v Speaker 1>that fear about it taking away from their partner's needs

0:17:33.619 --> 0:17:37.019
<v Speaker 1>and the partner's experiences just means it gets pushed down

0:17:37.019 --> 0:17:39.658
<v Speaker 1>and suppressed. But really, I guess it comes as a

0:17:39.979 --> 0:17:42.259
<v Speaker 1>bit of a PSA like if you are a new parent,

0:17:42.579 --> 0:17:44.739
<v Speaker 1>if you're going through having your first or your second,

0:17:44.819 --> 0:17:48.259
<v Speaker 1>or however whatever number kit it is, if your partner

0:17:48.379 --> 0:17:52.138
<v Speaker 1>is detached or different, or if as a man you

0:17:52.219 --> 0:17:57.259
<v Speaker 1>are having these really sort of just uncomfortable thoughts around fatherhood.

0:17:57.339 --> 0:18:00.339
<v Speaker 1>It may actually be something that is more clinical than

0:18:00.339 --> 0:18:02.379
<v Speaker 1>it could be, something like postnatal depression for a man.

0:18:02.659 --> 0:18:04.579
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and just so you know, something to keep your

0:18:04.579 --> 0:18:04.978
<v Speaker 3>eye on.

0:18:05.139 --> 0:18:09.178
<v Speaker 4>Clinical psychologist Julie Bornikoff has said some of the warning

0:18:09.219 --> 0:18:12.819
<v Speaker 4>signs include like self isolating, sleeping too much or not

0:18:12.859 --> 0:18:16.179
<v Speaker 4>resting when the baby sleeps, poor eating habits, of course,

0:18:16.219 --> 0:18:19.979
<v Speaker 4>things like increased alcohol and drug use, and maybe just

0:18:20.019 --> 0:18:23.059
<v Speaker 4>some statements from your partner, things like I'm a terrible parent.

0:18:23.219 --> 0:18:24.539
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'm not doing a good job.

0:18:24.579 --> 0:18:25.819
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what I'm doing there's some of the

0:18:25.859 --> 0:18:27.698
<v Speaker 4>things just to keep your eye on and just be

0:18:27.779 --> 0:18:31.019
<v Speaker 4>hyper aware that it's not necessarily just women going through it.

0:18:31.059 --> 0:18:33.339
<v Speaker 4>You guys needed to be a team and go through

0:18:33.379 --> 0:18:36.579
<v Speaker 4>the trenches together. Just remember Lifeline is available twenty four

0:18:36.619 --> 0:18:38.539
<v Speaker 4>to seven on thirteen eleven fourteen

0:18:38.739 --> 0:18:40.459
<v Speaker 3>And that is us done today, guys,
