<v Speaker 1>Do we have any sexy saucy numbers today?

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 2>No? I did want to answer the question about the

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 2>girl who wanted to lick her boyfriend's butthole, and you're

0:00:58.600 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I said no.

0:00:59.280 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Your answer to.

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 2>That was, Laura, i am not going to answer that question.

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 2>And I said why, it would be funny and you said,

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to talk about licking an asshole on

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 2>the podcast. And I said, Britt, it'll be funny that

0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 2>you're giving a blow by blow and I kept on

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 2>with it. It would be funny thing. And then Britt

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 2>said no because she turns her nose up at l Let's.

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Put it this way, Laura, would you like an article

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>this week about you licking a buttole tell me that

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 1>because this is this is what this questions about. No, exactly,

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing you a favor, but I also just think,

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:28.960
<v Speaker 1>go for it.

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 3>Whatever. What's the worst that could happen anyway? Hellot, actually

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:35.479
<v Speaker 3>a lot.

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, things could turn terribly, terribly wrong. We have some

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 2>really great questions today. We have some diverse and different

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.760
<v Speaker 2>questions that hit a whole lot of different areas of

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 2>life and the body and the body. But none of

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 2>them hit the bum Let's put it that way. Now,

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 2>they don't unfortunately.

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 3>Got left out. But Britt, you have a story. Something

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 3>happened to you?

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well I thought this was something funny, just one

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 1>of those really awkward moments.

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 3>It was bound to happen.

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>In the little circle that I run in bond Eyed.

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>The little is one suburb. Keisha and I spend a

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of time together. Now, now this was bound to happen,

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 1>but producer, Keisha and I we are both single, and

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people don't know this. Keisha just doesn't

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>work for us. But she's a very very good friend.

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I see Keisha every single day, and if I don't

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>see her, I speak to her, or we carry a pigeon,

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>or we text or we whatever. We are like very

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>in constant contact, constant conduct. Anyway. We are both single,

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>we are both on the dating app ready to mingle, babby,

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>but we have never really had the problem of matching

0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>or talking to the same person or wanting to date

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>the same person. We've always had different types, different vibes,

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:41.799
<v Speaker 1>like it just hasn't happened yet.

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I find that surprising because I actually think you guys

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 2>have kind of a similar taste in men in some ways.

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:49.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, some ways, but not there.

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>It's funny because Keisha will show me someone. She's like,

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>look at this babe, I'm talking to it. And I

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, yeah, babe, not my kind of babe,

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>but for you. And then I will show her someone.

0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh, look at this guy, and she's the

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>same She's like, oh, or yours kind of thing. You know,

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>it hasn't happened often anyway.

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 3>A couple of weeks ago, I showed her.

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I said, hey, look I'm talking to this babe, and

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I showed her were at the dog park, I showed

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>her his profile and she goes, fuck off. She was like,

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>it's happened. I was like, what's happened? She's like, I'm

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 1>talking to him too. She was talking to him too.

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 1>She's like, how often are you talking?

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 3>I was like, well, actually a lot.

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 1>But he hasn't replied to the last thing I said

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 1>a couple of days ago. She's like same.

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 3>I was like, because he met a girl and started

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 3>dating someone.

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>No, no, But she's like, oh, he just stopped replying

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to me as well.

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, in this situation, when you just

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 2>realized you're speaking to the same person who dips like

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 2>as as her employer, do you get to just continue

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 2>the comment or are you like you can I'll take this

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 2>one for the team, like this one you can continue

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 2>because you can't both continue. It's not like it's not

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Hunger Game Survival of the Fittest, like you have to decide.

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 3>Who's going to continue. Because I set out my bow.

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>And arrow and I was like, runs anyhow, I will

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>not know the answer to that because we haven't actually

0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 1>been in that position yet, because he hadn't responded to

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>either of it. So I guess to answer the question

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>if that had happened and we were still talking as much,

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>we would probably just work out who had organized to

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>meet up or who had spoken the longest, and the

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>other one would have to just like like if Keisha

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>was to the point where she's like, oh, he's taking

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 1>me to dinner, I would stop texting immediately, and I

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 1>think vice versa.

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 2>But it's when you have met in IRL that that's

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 2>when whoever you don't touch that with TECH, for whoever

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 2>meets first in IRL gets the man.

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Well.

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:27.839
<v Speaker 3>If talking to.

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Him longer as well, or more in depth or whatever.

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 3>Of course you wouldn't.

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 1>You'd back off because you don't want to be in

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.160
<v Speaker 1>that situation. But we were pretty much the conversations were

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>about the same level, but anyway irrelevant. He'd stopped replying

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.280
<v Speaker 1>to us, and it was a shame because he was

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 1>He seems funny and nice. He was very good looking.

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>He was foreign, which we all know I love.

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 3>So I was he wearing a turtleneck.

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Nobo, He would look good in one. You can tell

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 1>that as a man that would look good in.

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Turtle neck anyway, he's got a neck for it. Put

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 3>it that way.

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 1>We're at the pub on Saturday night, Keisha and I out.

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>We're at the pub and it's pumping and it's very busy.

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I see this guy walking towards me and it's just

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>a guy that I used to train at a gym

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.919
<v Speaker 1>with nine years ago. He was a coach there and

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't seen him in all this time, and I

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 1>recognized him and I was.

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 3>Like, oh my god.

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:15.919
<v Speaker 1>I was like, hey stopped him and I was like,

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.480
<v Speaker 1>how are you happen, say even ten years Like, we

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>used to train on the other side of the city

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>in North Sydney. Now we live in the East. We

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 1>were chatting and having this really great catch up and

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I was with Keisa on a friend and then his

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 1>two friends walk up and stand behind him and I

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 1>look at his friend. I have this moment of realization.

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>He looks at me and I'm like, oh my god,

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.479
<v Speaker 1>that I look at Keisha. Keisha looks at me, sees

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 1>my face, looks at him, he looks at her, he

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>looks at me.

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 3>We're all looking at each other. There's like looking in

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 3>and he walks away. It's this guy. It's the guy

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 3>that we both matched with, both liked. He was like,

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 3>this is way too much to deal with. The two

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 3>of you that I ghosted.

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 1>At the same time, I'm still not convinced. I don't

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>know if he put it together right. I know he

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.359
<v Speaker 1>put Keisha's like he definitely recognized me. I was like,

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not convinced he actually recognized me. But there was

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>this awkward moment, right, so he walks away. I think

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>this is hilarious, and because I don't have a filter,

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.320
<v Speaker 1>instead of just like pretending it didn't happen, the guy

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 1>that I'm talking to, who's a common friend, I start laughing.

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.359
<v Speaker 1>And so these two friends walk away, right, and so

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm laughing saying I matched with your friend and he

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>ghosted me, and he's like what. I was like, oh

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 1>we He's like, hey really and he's like's like, that's

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 1>not like him. And I'm like, yeah really, And I'd

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 1>pointed over to them and he's like and I showed it.

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I was like we were talking that we're having the banter,

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and he asked me this question and I answered and

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 1>asked him the question back.

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:32.480
<v Speaker 3>It was just all having in the right direction.

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And he's like, that's crazy. Do you want me

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 1>to say something? And I was like, yeah, I care.

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.279
<v Speaker 1>So he goes over to this guy. You don't do that.

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 2>If someone ghosts, you don't get their friend to go

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.480
<v Speaker 2>and do like the like the interrogation.

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 3>He comes, he brings him back.

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 1>He goes over and he brings him back over to

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the circle. He puts him in front of me and

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>he goes, I think you two have some stuff you

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>need to work out. And I looked at this guy.

0:06:58.120 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>He looked at me and he goes, you have a

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>crush on each don't you. And I looked at him.

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 3>I was like, that's not that's the wrong guy. You've

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:08.040
<v Speaker 3>just rushed. He just might have bought a random guy.

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Over, put him in front of my face and said

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>you do you need to work some shit out? And

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like, this is so awkward. We both never

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 1>spoke to the other guy again. He stayed on the

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 1>other side of the bar the whole time, didn't say

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 1>a word, didn't look at us, didn't do anything.

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 2>I bet you he has a girlfriend. That's my that

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 2>is my no.

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 3>His friend told us he does. Hey, that is like

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 3>my go to.

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Anytime that a guy just disappears and then ignores you,

0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh, he's a cheating asshole, Like that's how

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 2>affected I've been.

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>In my life.

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, oh, he's doing the dirty.

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Part of me wanted I had to control myself. I

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 1>had a few dreams. Part of me wanted to go

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.760
<v Speaker 1>up and just not anything bad because he didn't do

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>anything wrong. Just put him on the spot and say, so,

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>where did we go wrong? Like what happened there? But

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I just don't think he was ready for the awkward interaction.

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 2>As somebody who typically says that they don't like confrontation,

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 2>the fact that you wanted to go and confront a

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 2>tinder match who you had never seen in real life

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 2>who stopped speaking to you is possibly the weirdest thing

0:07:59.080 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 2>that you've ever said.

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 3>And I'm so glad.

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.240
<v Speaker 1>For you that you didn't do that, because to me,

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.559
<v Speaker 1>that's not the confrontation. I would have thought it was funny.

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I would have taken the piss a little bit. This

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have been an argument, like I would have given

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 1>him a hard time and then just walked off. But

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 1>a hard time is in like having a lull. But

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if any of you are out there listening,

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 1>or you're all out there listening, But if.

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 3>Any of you that are listening, hopefully you're listening.

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 1>No, but if there's anyone that stated the same, If

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>your friends, if this, I would love to know what

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:23.680
<v Speaker 1>you did or how you handle it, or who gets

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.720
<v Speaker 1>first DIBs. What are the rules in your group if

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 1>you've found out you're matching the same person, who backs off?

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Who steps away? And who is it?

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Just like, oh, you haven't had a hot one in

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 1>a while? Will given to you? What's the rules of

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:33.720
<v Speaker 1>engagement or is.

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 2>It survival of the fittest? Is it whoever gets in

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 2>there first? Does he get to does he get to choose?

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Is it like a Bachelor not choose?

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:41.199
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.199
<v Speaker 2>Is it like an episode of The Bachelor soft just

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:44.840
<v Speaker 2>not on TV? Like you both go on dates and

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:46.320
<v Speaker 2>he gets to pick the one he wants the best

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 2>irl bachelor? No, you're Sicico, That is not what you're doing.

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 3>All right?

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Well speaking, I have an article I want to discuss

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 2>before we get into answering your questions. And since we've

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:58.080
<v Speaker 2>just started with people ghosting and people disappearing, here's one

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 2>that's really going to tickle your fancy. It certainly didn't

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.200
<v Speaker 2>tickle this girl's fancy, but this is probably the most

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 2>messed up ghosting experience I have ever heard of when

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 2>it comes to dating. There is an Australian woman. She

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.319
<v Speaker 2>has gone viral on TikTok. You know we love a

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 2>good TikTok here. Her name is at Bris Deval. She

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 2>is twenty five years old and she was living in

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Canada with her fiance. Now this is where things really

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 2>take a turn for the worst. So her fiance ghosted her.

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 2>But he ghosted her after she fell from a ten

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 2>meter retaining wall. She fell head first into the pavement.

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Can you think about how horrific this is? Even saying

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.199
<v Speaker 2>those words makes me feel physically sick.

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Horrific.

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 2>She ended up in a coma for three months and

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.559
<v Speaker 2>woke up after being in a coma to find out

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.559
<v Speaker 2>that her fiance not only had he ghosted her when

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.840
<v Speaker 2>she'd had this accident, but he fucking vanished and was

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.600
<v Speaker 2>in a relationship and had moved in with somebody else.

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 3>He was living with them.

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Howd he move in in three months?

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean things move quickly for this man.

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 1>This so they were actually engaged. I read the article,

0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.080
<v Speaker 1>but I couldn't remember they were actually engaged. So she yeah,

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 1>and so it's actually so horrific.

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I were thinking about whether we would get her on

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 2>the podcast to talk this all through.

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 3>I'd love just to really unpack what happened here. But

0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:10.959
<v Speaker 3>she was twenty five years old.

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 2>She had this severe brain injury, and the only reason

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 2>why her life support wasn't turned off was because her

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.320
<v Speaker 2>parents were living in Australia. She was in Canada. It

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 2>was all during COVID. Her parents couldn't get the permission

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 2>to travel to Canada and so they wouldn't let the

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.080
<v Speaker 2>doctors turn off life support until they could get there

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:29.199
<v Speaker 2>and see their daughter again.

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 3>And then, incredibly, like she.

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Was given like the most smallest percentage chance of being

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 2>able to survive this, and incredibly she started getting her

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.240
<v Speaker 2>faculties back, She started to become aware of what was

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.319
<v Speaker 2>going on around her, and she actually woke up from

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 2>this coma. So like to unpack this properly. He was

0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 2>under the impression that she was never ever going to survive,

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 2>But moving on in three months after your partner has

0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 2>essentially passed away in your mind is pretty fucking wild.

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So, also, the fact is she hadn't passed away yet,

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.319
<v Speaker 1>while she think that it's looking that way, which is horrific,

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, we cannot imagine we cannot put

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.079
<v Speaker 1>ourselves in this position because we haven't been in this position.

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine what he was thinking or feeling at

0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.439
<v Speaker 1>the time. But to move on, it wasn't three months

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 1>after she'd passed away, after they decided to put the

0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.559
<v Speaker 1>last It was three months after that accident.

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 3>That's insanity, okay.

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 2>But what makes this even worse is not only did

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 2>he move on with somebody else, but this is how

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.559
<v Speaker 2>monumental the ghosting was. So when she woke up from

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 2>her coma and she remembered who he was, and she

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.560
<v Speaker 2>remembered she had a fiance, she tried to reach out

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 2>to him. So this is part of the TikTok that

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 2>she's put together. So she explained that she called him

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.559
<v Speaker 2>after finally waking up from the coma, and he didn't

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 2>answer the phone, but she did get a text from

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:48.320
<v Speaker 2>another woman, and the text said, he has moved out

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.440
<v Speaker 2>with me, and he has moved all of his things

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.720
<v Speaker 2>out of your house and now we are together, so

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 2>please do not contact him again. And he never ever

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 2>made contact with her. Can you imagine being such a

0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.679
<v Speaker 2>pathetic piece of scum that you avoid confrontations so much

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 2>that you get your new girlfriend to contact the person

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 2>who's just come out of a coma after three months

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:10.079
<v Speaker 2>when you were engaged.

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.320
<v Speaker 1>My jaw is literally on the ground. And if but

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.319
<v Speaker 1>you know what, you know, I think in this situation,

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 1>if there's anything to take from this for this girl,

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 1>you dodged a fucking bullet.

0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:21.199
<v Speaker 3>If that was the.

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Person that you were going to marry, such a weak

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:27.200
<v Speaker 1>little weasel, a weak, little disloyal weasel. And that is

0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 1>the perfect I haven't used that term a long time.

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>He's a weasel. He is a scummy little weasel. You

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 1>you dodgedow. It's so powerful though once you say it, it

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:37.319
<v Speaker 1>feels goods soasily.

0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 3>Yes, this feels good.

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.679
<v Speaker 1>But this girl has dodged an absolute bullet. And that's

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 1>the only thing that can remotely make this easier for

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.440
<v Speaker 1>this poor girl is to think, Wow, you are so

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 1>fucking detached that I'm glad that I didn't end up

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 1>with you. That's what I would try to take from it.

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 1>But I can't imagine the poor thing.

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 2>And only like he was so conflict avoidant that he

0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 2>also ended up going on and blocking her from all

0:12:58.640 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 2>of his social media accounts.

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.839
<v Speaker 1>I can't even a kind of sucked in she's gone viral.

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 2>And also like the next time that you think you've

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 2>been ghosted by someone who you were talking to, you

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.880
<v Speaker 2>can think of this person because like, nothing will ever

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 2>compare to this level of.

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 1>A Now, this takes away from my story, So my

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 1>ghosting is like not even bad from this.

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:18.880
<v Speaker 2>But what would you do if this happened to you?

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Put yourself in this situation for a second. Would you

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 2>like continue to call, would you show up at his house?

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Would you call your mutual friends, because obviously you'd have

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.440
<v Speaker 2>mutual friends that have to be more to the story.

0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 2>You wouldn't just be like, Okay, well you don't want

0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 2>to speak to me, I'm going to just disappear. You'd

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 2>be so enraged and you, like, I think I would

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 2>rock up at his house, and you know what you

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:38.800
<v Speaker 2>would do.

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:40.319
<v Speaker 3>I would be worried.

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.199
<v Speaker 1>I would restrain you. I would be worried what you

0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.560
<v Speaker 1>would do. I would definitely I don't think I would

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 1>be able to not have any form of communication with

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>him at all. I would have needed something one phone call,

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.599
<v Speaker 1>one text at a minimum, which is not going to suffice.

0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>But to have absolutely nothing, it is such a pathetic, selfish,

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:02.000
<v Speaker 1>selfish weasly move for him, but itself, that's a great

0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:05.560
<v Speaker 1>word besides weasel, selfish. It's such a selfish thing to

0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 1>take that from her and stop her from moving on

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:09.840
<v Speaker 1>in a sense. And I know we say you don't

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 1>necessarily enclosure from other people to move on. You don't

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 1>always you're fucking getting married. You were marrying this woman.

0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.959
<v Speaker 1>She was in a tragic accident. I'm sorry, but the

0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:21.320
<v Speaker 1>whole vow is far better or worse. That includes a coma.

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:23.520
<v Speaker 3>They didn't make it to that part of the Oh,

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 3>but that's what you because.

0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 1>What you're about to do, like when you ask someone

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 1>to marry you.

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:30.160
<v Speaker 3>It's actually so wild if you want to go and

0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 3>actually look at the tiktoks. Her name is hot Comba.

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Girl, one of the TikTok And as much as he

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 2>as much as we are like laughing about it and

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.960
<v Speaker 2>joking about it, she definitely does it in a very

0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.680
<v Speaker 2>positive and upbeat way. But what an incredible story, and

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.920
<v Speaker 2>the fact that she's been able to put a positive

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.320
<v Speaker 2>spin on what is truly just the most horrific and

0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 2>traumatic story is such a testament to what a strong

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:52.440
<v Speaker 2>individual she must be.

0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 1>All Right, well, let's get into some of the questions.

0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna kick it off.

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Hi, I am a longtime listener, first time caller. Me

0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 2>and my partner dated for over a year and we

0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.680
<v Speaker 2>broke up for a couple of months. We are back

0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 2>together now, but I have found out that while we

0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.240
<v Speaker 2>were broken up, he was seeing someone else. And now

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.920
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't just sleeping with them, but he was going

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.280
<v Speaker 2>on dates with them. When broken up. I was okay

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.120
<v Speaker 2>with him sleeping with other people because that's just physical,

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.480
<v Speaker 2>but dating is more than physical. So now I'm unsure

0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:28.080
<v Speaker 2>how I feel about it all. We were also talking

0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 2>almost every single day when we were broken up, and

0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.680
<v Speaker 2>he was saying that he was so sad and that

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:34.800
<v Speaker 2>he missed me and all this sort of stuff. I'm

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 2>really confused. Could he have actually still loved me and

0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.560
<v Speaker 2>missed me that much even though he was technically seeing

0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 2>someone else. I also think that the two of us

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.680
<v Speaker 2>might have caught up while he was actually seeing this person.

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:47.120
<v Speaker 3>Please help.

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 1>He whilst not ideal, has not done anything wrong, and

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that this is morally sure. He is saying

0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to you, I miss you, I love you, talking to

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you every day communication, and he's sleeping with someone else.

0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 1>And seeing someone else. Technically, on a technicality, that's okay

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.320
<v Speaker 1>because you guys broke up, so he's not cheating on you.

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>And in answer to your question, can you.

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.040
<v Speaker 3>Can trickly one though, isn't it?

0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it is.

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 3>I think it is what it is.

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.360
<v Speaker 1>And there's a level of acceptance that you're going to

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:23.840
<v Speaker 1>have to have if you want to be with him

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 1>knowing that he was with other people while you broke up.

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 1>And one of your questions in that was could he

0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 1>really have missed me and loved me if he was

0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 1>sleeping with someone else? Well, the answer is yes, he

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 1>can do that. He could very much miss and love

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 1>you and use his appendage to make love to someone else.

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 2>And also go out on a nice dinner with them

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 2>every so while. Yes, it doesn't mean that he's emotionally invested.

0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 1>No, it means he was probably bored that night and

0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 1>wanted to go and have dinner and have a conversation

0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.240
<v Speaker 1>with someone else. But you still stole his heart. Now,

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.120
<v Speaker 1>it's not I'm not saying this is ideal and it's

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 1>great because it's not. And it sucks for you to

0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.960
<v Speaker 1>think that he was with someone else. But if you

0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 1>were broken up. You're going to have to find a

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.720
<v Speaker 1>way to be okay with it if you want to

0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:02.280
<v Speaker 1>be with him.

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I think at the end of the day,

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 2>like technically and I mean, I love technicolity now, but

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.080
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the day, you are back together

0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 2>and he's chosen to be with you because he wants

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.879
<v Speaker 2>to be with you. And even though he dated somebody

0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.840
<v Speaker 2>else in between, whether it was more than sexual, maybe

0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 2>he had some feelings for her, those feelings were obviously

0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 2>not strong enough for him to want to be in

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.040
<v Speaker 2>a relationship with her, or he would have been. I

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.520
<v Speaker 2>think getting back with someone when you've had a period

0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.040
<v Speaker 2>of time broken up can be really messy and it

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.240
<v Speaker 2>can add a lot of feelings of confusion in the

0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 2>relationship because breakups unless you're going on.

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.120
<v Speaker 3>A break and having a break.

0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:41.159
<v Speaker 2>From each other, in which like, if you're going on

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:43.159
<v Speaker 2>a break, then Britt and I are big advocates that

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.359
<v Speaker 2>you have to set rules and boundaries for what that

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:46.119
<v Speaker 2>break looks like.

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:46.679
<v Speaker 3>So, if you're.

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Actually going on a break, can you date, can you

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.959
<v Speaker 2>have sex with other people? Are you exploring other connections?

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Are you in contact with each other?

0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Still totally there has to be rules that are put

0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 2>in place, because otherwise each party end up disappointed because

0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 2>somebody feels portrayed that whatever rules they have in their

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 2>head weren't executed by the other person. But if you

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.920
<v Speaker 2>actually broke up without necessarily the intention of you getting

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.440
<v Speaker 2>back together, or that was never discussed that you're getting

0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.320
<v Speaker 2>back together, then I think it's okay that he tried

0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:15.359
<v Speaker 2>to get on with his life.

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 3>He tried to as much.

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 2>As he may have still been really connected to you,

0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.960
<v Speaker 2>missed you every day, still loved you. He was essentially

0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:25.159
<v Speaker 2>trying to move forward with his life, even though he

0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:26.879
<v Speaker 2>did it in a bit of a messy way. And

0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.920
<v Speaker 2>I think like people are very complex. Feelings are complex.

0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.200
<v Speaker 2>You can be going out on dates and be having

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.440
<v Speaker 2>sex with someone and still be in love with someone else.

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 2>We all know that that's a very, very possible thing.

0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.680
<v Speaker 2>The other part of this as well, is like sometimes

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:43.199
<v Speaker 2>I think we try and like remove sex and dating

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 2>and be like, but you're only supposed to be going

0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.159
<v Speaker 2>and having a sexual relationship. It's really hard to just

0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:50.600
<v Speaker 2>find someone to have a sexual relationship with. Like, it's

0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:52.960
<v Speaker 2>really hard to find someone where you've amen yeah, where

0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.040
<v Speaker 2>you've like not been on a date. Most people will

0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.399
<v Speaker 2>go on a couple of dates, even if it only

0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.639
<v Speaker 2>then evolves into a sexual relationship, because people want to

0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of know the person that they're fucking. It's very like,

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:07.359
<v Speaker 2>it's not that common that you just meet someone online,

0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.600
<v Speaker 2>you only have sex with them, you never ever interact

0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:14.000
<v Speaker 2>in any other capacity. Are the connection And like, maybe

0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:16.640
<v Speaker 2>that happens from time to time, But I know for myself,

0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:19.760
<v Speaker 2>like anytime I've had a friends with benefits situation, I've

0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:21.640
<v Speaker 2>still kind of gone on dates with them. I've still

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.600
<v Speaker 2>gotten to know them. Doesn't mean I wanted to date

0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:25.720
<v Speaker 2>them and them to be my boyfriend, but I've still

0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 2>gotten to know them so that I felt comfortable to

0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:29.080
<v Speaker 2>have sex with them.

0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, the term is friends with benefits. You're going to

0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 1>have that level of comfort and communication with someone to

0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 1>be able to be comfortable to sleep with them. So

0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that that's a completely normal thing for him

0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:42.679
<v Speaker 1>to have developed some connection with whoever he is sleeping

0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.080
<v Speaker 1>with at the end of the day. This one is

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:47.960
<v Speaker 1>pretty easy. If you want to be with him, I

0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:49.920
<v Speaker 1>think you have to have a level of acceptance that

0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:51.640
<v Speaker 1>that did happen and be able to move on because

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:53.679
<v Speaker 1>if you don't have the acceptance and you can't move on.

0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:56.320
<v Speaker 1>This is just going to develop, it's going to snowball,

0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:58.439
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be very very toxic in your relationship.

0:19:58.440 --> 0:19:59.840
<v Speaker 1>And this is just something you need to decide in

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 1>So if you're not okay with it, that's also okay,

0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:04.800
<v Speaker 1>but just means you're probably not gonna be able to

0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:06.000
<v Speaker 1>continue the relationship.

0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you can't change the past, like you're so right, Britt,

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 2>You can't change what's happened. You just have to be

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 2>able to figure out ways to deal with it. And

0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:16.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's one of those situations where time heals all.

0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:19.280
<v Speaker 2>And it's a really annoying saying, but the reason why

0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:23.000
<v Speaker 2>it exists is because it's very fucking true. Time really

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.199
<v Speaker 2>does create great perspective on things, and maybe in a

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 2>few months more time, or in a year's time, you

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.000
<v Speaker 2>won't ever even think about the fact that you guys

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:32.639
<v Speaker 2>broke up for a little bit and that he was

0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:33.399
<v Speaker 2>seeing other people.

0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Question two, Okay, Question number two. My friend has been

0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:41.320
<v Speaker 1>with her partner for six years. Recently, she made an

0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 1>only Fans account. After discussing an in depth with her partner,

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 1>he agreed that it was okay. As long as they

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:51.240
<v Speaker 1>discussed what was okay and what wasn't. Ten subscribers later,

0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:54.600
<v Speaker 1>and one fake subscriber from her partner who has now

0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:57.680
<v Speaker 1>basically broken up with her due to the Only Fans account.

0:20:57.920 --> 0:20:59.879
<v Speaker 1>I should add that it was making her happy and

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 1>helping her feel confident and good about herself. My question

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 1>is should she have to delete the account to keep

0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:08.560
<v Speaker 1>her relationship or does he need to sort his feelings

0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 1>out and get on board and get on her side.

0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:13.159
<v Speaker 1>He has made her really upset the last couple of

0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:17.080
<v Speaker 1>days about this. I hate seeing her so conflicted. So

0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:20.720
<v Speaker 1>the question is does she have to delete her OnlyFans

0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.879
<v Speaker 1>account because her boyfriend isn't happy with it? Or is

0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:26.040
<v Speaker 1>it selfish of him to say he doesn't want to

0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:28.240
<v Speaker 1>be with her if she has it, and does he

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 1>needs to get on board? Now? I have very strong feelings,

0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:30.920
<v Speaker 1>but what are yours?

0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:32.919
<v Speaker 2>I have a few, Okay, I have a few questions

0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.600
<v Speaker 2>which unfortunately would go unanswered because we can't get the

0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:38.879
<v Speaker 2>answers to them. But my question, firstly is you said

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:41.600
<v Speaker 2>that they sat down and they created like boundaries. What

0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:43.880
<v Speaker 2>he was okay with her posting and what made him

0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:47.119
<v Speaker 2>feel uncomfortable and then he subscribed.

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:49.159
<v Speaker 3>And then he broke up with her. Did she post

0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:50.240
<v Speaker 3>things that were.

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:54.359
<v Speaker 2>Pushing the boundaries of what he said made him feel comfortable? Like,

0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:56.760
<v Speaker 2>that's my first question. Were there things that were posted

0:21:56.800 --> 0:22:00.560
<v Speaker 2>that were beyond what they had mutually agreed upon, in

0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:03.320
<v Speaker 2>which case I don't think that he needs to address

0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:04.160
<v Speaker 2>anything about that.

0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:06.200
<v Speaker 3>The other part, though, is okay.

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Let's say that the only the thing she posted were

0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:10.160
<v Speaker 2>very much in line with what they had agreed upon.

0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 2>I still think it's okay that it made him uncomfortable.

0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:18.240
<v Speaker 2>And I think that we all have different levels for

0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.880
<v Speaker 2>what isn't isn't acceptable in our relationships, and we can't

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.760
<v Speaker 2>just expect that our partner will get on board for everything.

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:27.359
<v Speaker 2>And as much as we live in a society now

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 2>that is really pro sexual positivity, talking about sex inclusively,

0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:34.919
<v Speaker 2>being really open and transparent, I mean even you and

0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:37.960
<v Speaker 2>I talking about sex on this podcast, like sex is

0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:40.239
<v Speaker 2>having a real renaissance, and I think there is a

0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:42.280
<v Speaker 2>lot of social acceptance when it comes to things like

0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:42.920
<v Speaker 2>only fans.

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:44.760
<v Speaker 3>Now, that doesn't mean that.

0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 2>He feels comfortable dating somebody who has an OnlyFans account,

0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and that is okay, because that is what suits him,

0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 2>and I think the fact that you've been together for

0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:57.119
<v Speaker 2>six years, you kind of already when you've been with

0:22:57.160 --> 0:22:59.520
<v Speaker 2>someone for six years, you kind of you already know

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:01.280
<v Speaker 2>what you're in for, right, Like you've already kind of

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:04.440
<v Speaker 2>signed up for the relationship being a certain way. It's

0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:07.439
<v Speaker 2>okay that if one person wants something very different to

0:23:07.560 --> 0:23:09.879
<v Speaker 2>turn around and say, well, that doesn't suit what I

0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:12.439
<v Speaker 2>want and so therefore I don't feel comfortable being in

0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:15.480
<v Speaker 2>this relationship. That's a kind of a hard thing to

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:17.800
<v Speaker 2>swallow if you both start to want different things. But

0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 2>I understand why that can occur.

0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:20.160
<v Speaker 3>The only thing I.

0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Want to add to that because I agree with it all.

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:23.240
<v Speaker 1>The only thing I really really want to point out

0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 1>is he's allowed to change his mind about what he's

0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:30.200
<v Speaker 1>okay with the fact that he said it was okay

0:23:30.440 --> 0:23:31.919
<v Speaker 1>and they talked about it, and then she did it,

0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:34.159
<v Speaker 1>and then he's decided, actually, you know what I'm not

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:36.240
<v Speaker 1>that's okay. So I don't think she can use that

0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:38.080
<v Speaker 1>against him to say, well, you said it was. And

0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:40.000
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, I think it's actually

0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:42.359
<v Speaker 1>a great thing. He did try to meet you halfway.

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:44.359
<v Speaker 1>By the sounds of it, he's come in and said, Okay,

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:46.240
<v Speaker 1>let's give it a go. You want to do it.

0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:48.040
<v Speaker 1>This is what I think I'll be okay with, let's

0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:50.720
<v Speaker 1>do it. I've then seen it and realize that, fuck,

0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:52.919
<v Speaker 1>you know what, it's not comfortable with me. I'm not

0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:56.280
<v Speaker 1>about this. This is something that you guys with this

0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:58.639
<v Speaker 1>couple are really really going to have to communicate on

0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:00.640
<v Speaker 1>and see what's more important at the end of the day,

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:04.480
<v Speaker 1>because he has come and said that this is his boundary.

0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 1>He does not want his partner posting whatever she is

0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:11.119
<v Speaker 1>posting on an only fans account. What is more important

0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:13.280
<v Speaker 1>to your friend, the person that's written this in what's

0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 1>more important to the girl her OnlyFans account? Or having

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:19.919
<v Speaker 1>the conversation and saying, Okay, I appreciate us trying, I

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 1>won't do it anymore totally.

0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I think you hit the nail on the head of

0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:25.960
<v Speaker 2>that completely, brit Like that being the ultimate question. That's

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:28.680
<v Speaker 2>probably where he's coming from as well. What's more important

0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.720
<v Speaker 2>to you our relationship or having an only fans account?

0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Like why is that so important? Why is that where

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.200
<v Speaker 2>you're getting your self confidence from? Why is that where

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:39.639
<v Speaker 2>you're getting a sense of self from? I think that

0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:42.679
<v Speaker 2>they're really big questions for your friend to ask herself around,

0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:44.720
<v Speaker 2>like what is it about having an only fans that's

0:24:44.720 --> 0:24:47.440
<v Speaker 2>making her feel so confident? And if that's what's really

0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:50.440
<v Speaker 2>important to her, that's absolutely fine, But it doesn't mean

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 2>that they are a perfect pairing. For example, and I

0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:56.720
<v Speaker 2>think that this is a good example. I struggle, and

0:24:56.760 --> 0:24:59.400
<v Speaker 2>I've had this conversation with Matt before. I could never

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:02.960
<v Speaker 2>date an act because I wouldn't be comfortable with them

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:05.400
<v Speaker 2>making out with a woman on screen, even though it's

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:05.880
<v Speaker 2>his job.

0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Even though I used to have his conversation with Jordan.

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I dated an actor once and he there

0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:13.600
<v Speaker 2>was a scene that he had to do and it

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:15.520
<v Speaker 2>was a it was a film clip for a song,

0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 2>and he was going to have to kiss the female

0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:22.320
<v Speaker 2>singer in the film clip. It made me feel so uncomfortable.

0:25:22.640 --> 0:25:25.879
<v Speaker 2>I hated every single second of that. And I knew

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:28.080
<v Speaker 2>that if that made me feel so insecure, that I

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:30.960
<v Speaker 2>probably wasn't suited for dating someone when that's an integral

0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:33.600
<v Speaker 2>part of their job. So we didn't date any longer.

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 2>And that's okay. That doesn't make me a bad person

0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:38.960
<v Speaker 2>because I felt insecure about the fact that he was

0:25:38.960 --> 0:25:40.840
<v Speaker 2>an actor and part of his job was kissing a girl.

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Nor was I going to say to him, yes, you

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:45.080
<v Speaker 2>can be an actor, but you're not allowed to kiss anyone,

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Because what a stupid rule that is to put in place.

0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:49.919
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think that it's okay for people to

0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 2>have jobs that they don't align with what you want

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:53.840
<v Speaker 2>in a relationship. I do think that we're in a

0:25:53.840 --> 0:25:56.640
<v Speaker 2>really tricky position at the moment with society where we're

0:25:56.680 --> 0:25:59.040
<v Speaker 2>being so and it's a good thing. We're so sex

0:25:59.080 --> 0:26:01.639
<v Speaker 2>positive and we're so liberal about it. But then it

0:26:01.680 --> 0:26:03.720
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean that he's done anything wrong. It just doesn't

0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 2>align with where his boundaries lie in his relationship, and

0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:07.480
<v Speaker 2>that is okay.

0:26:08.200 --> 0:26:10.040
<v Speaker 1>I think we covered that one. I think we need

0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:11.240
<v Speaker 1>to okay.

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Question not the O wait wait, you mentioned one thing though.

0:26:14.440 --> 0:26:17.480
<v Speaker 2>What was Jordan's opinion of you kissing someone as someone

0:26:17.520 --> 0:26:20.280
<v Speaker 2>who's an aspiring actress. You said that this is something

0:26:20.359 --> 0:26:23.000
<v Speaker 2>that was a point in your relationship. What was the outcome?

0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:24.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there was an audition we were talking about that

0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:27.119
<v Speaker 1>I had that if I got the role, would have

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 1>involved kissing someone else, and he was an adamant no.

0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:33.720
<v Speaker 1>He was like, I couldn't be with you if you

0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:35.439
<v Speaker 1>were going to make out with someone else, And I said, oh, well,

0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:37.320
<v Speaker 1>you know that, that's like, that's all I want to do. Like,

0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:38.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to make out with other people.

0:26:38.640 --> 0:26:40.560
<v Speaker 3>But I would love to. What do I want to

0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:42.359
<v Speaker 3>do is kiss other people? So this is going to

0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:44.280
<v Speaker 3>be a real problem in our relationship. Yeah, No, like

0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:44.639
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to.

0:26:44.720 --> 0:26:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I want to create and I want to be in

0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:48.959
<v Speaker 1>that industry and do really fun things like that. And

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:51.760
<v Speaker 1>if that came up, then, you know, not ideal. But

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:55.239
<v Speaker 1>I would hope that in a relationship, whatever relationship I'm in,

0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:57.200
<v Speaker 1>that there is a level of trust in your partner.

0:26:57.200 --> 0:26:58.639
<v Speaker 1>And I get that it's not for everyone. If I

0:26:58.720 --> 0:27:01.359
<v Speaker 1>was dating somebody and I and they were kissing somebody

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:03.879
<v Speaker 1>else or sexy with someone else, of course it's not

0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:05.639
<v Speaker 1>ideal and you don't want to watch it. But I

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:08.959
<v Speaker 1>would hope in my relationship I had enough trust in

0:27:08.960 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 1>the relationship to know that they're just going to work

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:13.119
<v Speaker 1>and doing what they're doing and it's not doing anything

0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:14.960
<v Speaker 1>for them, it's not turning them on. And it's there's

0:27:15.000 --> 0:27:16.879
<v Speaker 1>like twenty five cameras on you. There's a lot of people.

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:19.439
<v Speaker 1>It's not These people are not being turned on. And

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:23.280
<v Speaker 1>I know that historically speaking, there have been some very

0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 1>famous people that have had relationships off the back of

0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:27.840
<v Speaker 1>meeting on screen. Totally.

0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:29.280
<v Speaker 3>I think I did get it.

0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:31.760
<v Speaker 2>I think it's naive to say that people don't get

0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:33.880
<v Speaker 2>turned on for us. Yes, it is part of the job.

0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they get turned on later at night when they're

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:37.320
<v Speaker 1>thinking about it, but in the moment.

0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:38.040
<v Speaker 3>They're not that like that.

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:39.639
<v Speaker 2>No, what I mean is it's like not turned on

0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:41.600
<v Speaker 2>by the kiss. Like, yes, it is part of the job.

0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 2>There are many actors who have ended up hooking up

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 2>with their coastars. I mean, there are many actors who

0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:49.560
<v Speaker 2>have ended up having affairs with their co stars totally right.

0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:51.200
<v Speaker 2>So I don't think that you can just say that

0:27:51.400 --> 0:27:54.520
<v Speaker 2>like it never happens. I can understand why some people

0:27:54.560 --> 0:27:58.240
<v Speaker 2>feel like it is a really tricky part. And that's

0:27:58.240 --> 0:27:59.520
<v Speaker 2>how I felt one hundred percent.

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:00.720
<v Speaker 1>And that's what it comes back to you. At the

0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:02.000
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, you have to be okay that

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:04.479
<v Speaker 1>your partner's going to go and do something, and in

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:07.639
<v Speaker 1>this situation, he is just not okay that something you

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:09.840
<v Speaker 1>need to discuss and accept only fans of your partner,

0:28:09.880 --> 0:28:12.679
<v Speaker 1>because that seems to be without him giving an ultimatum here,

0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:14.399
<v Speaker 1>because it doesn't sound like he is. It just sounds

0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:16.439
<v Speaker 1>like you're saying, well, I don't want to do this anymore.

0:28:16.440 --> 0:28:18.400
<v Speaker 1>If you want to do it, that's an ultimatum. Yeah,

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:20.480
<v Speaker 1>but it's not like fucking delete it. He's just saying,

0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:23.119
<v Speaker 1>this is my choice. Well, I mean, we don't have

0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:26.080
<v Speaker 1>this information. He hasn't said delete or I'll leave. He's like, okay,

0:28:26.119 --> 0:28:28.960
<v Speaker 1>well I'm super uncomfortable with this, so I'm going to

0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:31.280
<v Speaker 1>leave the relationship. You've got to sign it. What's more important?

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:32.760
<v Speaker 3>That's it? Yeah, I totally agree.

0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:34.879
<v Speaker 2>All right, Question A number three, and we needed to

0:28:34.880 --> 0:28:36.840
<v Speaker 2>throw in a spicy sexy one, so of course we

0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:38.480
<v Speaker 2>had to throw in a spicy one. So this one

0:28:38.520 --> 0:28:42.520
<v Speaker 2>has to do with cunning linguists, linus, lingos, cunning lingus?

0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:43.200
<v Speaker 3>Is that what it is?

0:28:43.240 --> 0:28:46.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what you're talking about, hunting lingus, flicking

0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:52.040
<v Speaker 2>the virgine, going downtown, going downtown. Let's just colloquialize it,

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:54.120
<v Speaker 2>all right. I had a baby a bit over six

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:56.680
<v Speaker 2>months ago. My partner has only been down on me

0:28:56.920 --> 0:28:59.920
<v Speaker 2>once since then. This used to be a regular part

0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:02.960
<v Speaker 2>of out sex lives and something that I really liked.

0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:06.080
<v Speaker 2>It's starting to really bother me that this hasn't returned.

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:08.480
<v Speaker 2>I've tried talking to him about it, and he says,

0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I just don't feel like it or we will get

0:29:10.880 --> 0:29:13.640
<v Speaker 2>back to it eventually. It's hard to not get resentful

0:29:13.680 --> 0:29:15.760
<v Speaker 2>of the fact that, along with my job, my body,

0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 2>my social life, that I've given up this too. Now.

0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:20.600
<v Speaker 3>I know I can't make him do it, but is

0:29:20.640 --> 0:29:22.120
<v Speaker 3>this normal? And what can I do?

0:29:22.760 --> 0:29:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Well?

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I do not know if this is normal because I

0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:28.160
<v Speaker 1>am not married, I have not had a baby, and

0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I have no sex life after baby life, So this

0:29:30.560 --> 0:29:32.160
<v Speaker 1>one might have to be for you, Laura.

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:33.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's not normal.

0:29:33.560 --> 0:29:37.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not normal for your partner to stop doing something

0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:39.360
<v Speaker 2>that was an integral part of your sex life after

0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:41.880
<v Speaker 2>you have kids. That to me makes me think that

0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:44.640
<v Speaker 2>he views your body differently after having kids, like there's

0:29:44.720 --> 0:29:47.400
<v Speaker 2>some sort of mental shift that's happened.

0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Like that's where the baby came from. Yeah, I can't

0:29:50.120 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 1>go there anymore.

0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 2>But also like, well, if you can still have sex

0:29:52.680 --> 0:29:56.360
<v Speaker 2>with me, Like what is so problematic about my vagina

0:29:56.400 --> 0:29:58.480
<v Speaker 2>and my volva that you now can't go down there?

0:29:58.520 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Like what trauma did me giving earth create for you.

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Let's unpack that body. I think it's probably the big

0:30:03.920 --> 0:30:04.720
<v Speaker 2>place to start.

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:06.240
<v Speaker 3>But it's true.

0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Like, it's true, it's true, and I understand why you

0:30:08.680 --> 0:30:09.440
<v Speaker 2>feel resentful.

0:30:09.520 --> 0:30:11.400
<v Speaker 3>Like you when you become a mum, you give up

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:13.800
<v Speaker 3>so much. You give up so much.

0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:16.160
<v Speaker 2>There's already aspects of your body that you probably feel

0:30:16.280 --> 0:30:19.600
<v Speaker 2>less desirable in because so many of us after having kids,

0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, things aren't the same as what they were

0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:25.880
<v Speaker 2>pre baby. So to sacrifice a part of what makes

0:30:25.920 --> 0:30:28.280
<v Speaker 2>you feel desirable and makes you feel like your husband

0:30:28.400 --> 0:30:30.240
<v Speaker 2>wants to be with you and wants to have sex

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:34.000
<v Speaker 2>with you would also add to those feelings of insecurity. Now,

0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:36.200
<v Speaker 2>I do think it's only been six months. There is

0:30:36.240 --> 0:30:38.400
<v Speaker 2>a chance that will return, But six months is still

0:30:38.400 --> 0:30:41.240
<v Speaker 2>a long enough time that your body is back to Essentially,

0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:43.800
<v Speaker 2>it's back to some sort of normality. You're back into

0:30:43.800 --> 0:30:46.520
<v Speaker 2>a routine, your baby's probably sleeping through a little bit.

0:30:46.520 --> 0:30:50.280
<v Speaker 2>More like, there's not really any reason for him to say, oh,

0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:52.160
<v Speaker 2>that's something that will get back to in the future

0:30:52.200 --> 0:30:55.600
<v Speaker 2>if he's not actually actively trying to figure out why

0:30:55.640 --> 0:30:56.200
<v Speaker 2>it's a problem.

0:30:56.240 --> 0:30:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what I mean? Well, I think that

0:30:58.400 --> 0:31:01.080
<v Speaker 1>is exactly what we need to discuss right now. What

0:31:01.120 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 1>you need to discuss is the why. So have you

0:31:03.560 --> 0:31:06.400
<v Speaker 1>sat down and had the conversation with him about why,

0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:08.960
<v Speaker 1>why he's no longer wanting to go down on you,

0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:12.640
<v Speaker 1>why he has an aversion of sorts. If you don't

0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:14.720
<v Speaker 1>know why, and you just keep that to yourself, well a,

0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:17.240
<v Speaker 1>you're going to make up God knows what reasons in

0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:19.160
<v Speaker 1>your head, like you are going to perpetuate a lot

0:31:19.200 --> 0:31:22.080
<v Speaker 1>that could may or may not be true. Same thing

0:31:22.080 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 1>as Laura and I always say, communication, and he's your partner,

0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:27.040
<v Speaker 1>it's okay to sit down and have those hard conversations

0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:29.640
<v Speaker 1>with him. Maybe don't have it in the bedroom. You know,

0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:32.800
<v Speaker 1>we've spoken to psychologists and sexologists and everyone says the

0:31:32.800 --> 0:31:36.200
<v Speaker 1>same thing. You don't have these conversations in the bedroom,

0:31:36.200 --> 0:31:37.440
<v Speaker 1>like you're not about to get jiggy with it and

0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:39.160
<v Speaker 1>you're pushing his head down and you're like, why are

0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:41.800
<v Speaker 1>you going down to me? Don't have those conversations, have

0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:44.160
<v Speaker 1>a just have a real conversation. Maybe it's over dinner

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:47.280
<v Speaker 1>and maybe it's watching TV. Maybe it's like, Hey, I

0:31:47.320 --> 0:31:48.920
<v Speaker 1>want to ask you something that's been bothering me a

0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:51.760
<v Speaker 1>little while and just ask where his head's at, because

0:31:51.760 --> 0:31:54.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe even him discussing it and you discussing it back

0:31:54.560 --> 0:31:56.520
<v Speaker 1>and having a conversation might help him work through some

0:31:56.560 --> 0:31:58.840
<v Speaker 1>stuff or whatever is bothering him totally.

0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:00.880
<v Speaker 2>And I think it also comes back to your vulnerability

0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:03.120
<v Speaker 2>around it, Like explaining to him why that makes you

0:32:03.160 --> 0:32:06.120
<v Speaker 2>feel the way that you feel, and also explaining how

0:32:06.160 --> 0:32:08.520
<v Speaker 2>you feel like you've given up so much already might

0:32:08.520 --> 0:32:10.840
<v Speaker 2>give him a bit of context because maybe he is

0:32:10.880 --> 0:32:13.000
<v Speaker 2>being a bit selfish in the bedroom now. Maybe it

0:32:13.040 --> 0:32:14.800
<v Speaker 2>was something that he wasn't doing when you were pregnant,

0:32:14.800 --> 0:32:16.920
<v Speaker 2>and so therefore he's just slid back into a routine

0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:18.400
<v Speaker 2>of like, oh, well, I don't need to do that

0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:21.240
<v Speaker 2>anymore kind of thing. But I also think it's really

0:32:21.280 --> 0:32:23.440
<v Speaker 2>important that if he's giving you these sort of like

0:32:23.480 --> 0:32:26.200
<v Speaker 2>half last answers of like, well, I don't feel like it,

0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:28.800
<v Speaker 2>or we'll get back to it eventually, digging a bit

0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:31.080
<v Speaker 2>deeper to understand why will we get back to it

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:33.480
<v Speaker 2>eventually and why can't you do it now? Because yes,

0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:35.880
<v Speaker 2>although you can't force him to go down on you,

0:32:35.880 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 2>you can lay down your expectations in what you want

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:41.080
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to like being intimate with your partner,

0:32:41.080 --> 0:32:43.040
<v Speaker 2>and it's not like you're asking for something that's never

0:32:43.080 --> 0:32:45.840
<v Speaker 2>happened before. It's not like you're asking for some crazy

0:32:45.920 --> 0:32:48.920
<v Speaker 2>kink that lies outside of what he feels comfortable with. Like,

0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:51.040
<v Speaker 2>this is something that you guys have always done, and

0:32:51.080 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 2>the only thing that's changed is having a baby. I

0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:57.240
<v Speaker 2>know that, like not necessarily this specific thing, but sex

0:32:57.360 --> 0:33:01.200
<v Speaker 2>changes for a lot of people after kids many different reasons,

0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:03.480
<v Speaker 2>and I think for a lot of men there is

0:33:03.560 --> 0:33:06.480
<v Speaker 2>some sort of post having babies thing where they're like, oh,

0:33:06.480 --> 0:33:08.520
<v Speaker 2>that's where the baby comes from, and they have a

0:33:08.560 --> 0:33:10.920
<v Speaker 2>weird attachment to it, and to that I kind of

0:33:11.080 --> 0:33:12.960
<v Speaker 2>have always had the stance of like, they need to

0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:14.800
<v Speaker 2>get the fuck over it for you guys to get

0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:17.680
<v Speaker 2>back to having a great relationship, because ultimately, as women,

0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:20.600
<v Speaker 2>we're the ones who sacrifice so much.

0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:23.160
<v Speaker 3>That really I don't have a lot.

0:33:23.000 --> 0:33:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Of sympathy for a guy who's struggling with like being

0:33:26.960 --> 0:33:29.240
<v Speaker 2>intimate or having sex after having a baby, because I'm like,

0:33:29.320 --> 0:33:31.400
<v Speaker 2>this didn't impact you in the same way it impacted

0:33:31.480 --> 0:33:32.240
<v Speaker 2>me totally.

0:33:32.800 --> 0:33:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Just to finish it off, it is important to say

0:33:34.800 --> 0:33:37.800
<v Speaker 1>that we unfortunately we can't force our partners to do

0:33:37.840 --> 0:33:39.480
<v Speaker 1>anything they don't want to do. And this is in

0:33:39.520 --> 0:33:41.360
<v Speaker 1>all aspects of life. You can't make someone do something

0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:43.240
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to do. But what you can do

0:33:43.400 --> 0:33:46.280
<v Speaker 1>is have the conversation to figure out why, express yourself

0:33:46.360 --> 0:33:48.440
<v Speaker 1>what you want, why you want it, and how it

0:33:48.480 --> 0:33:51.000
<v Speaker 1>makes you feel. He will do the same or your

0:33:51.040 --> 0:33:53.120
<v Speaker 1>partner will do the same, and then you can work

0:33:53.120 --> 0:33:55.320
<v Speaker 1>on it from there. But you can't you if you

0:33:55.360 --> 0:33:57.720
<v Speaker 1>start to without this conversation, right, what I'm trying to

0:33:57.720 --> 0:34:00.880
<v Speaker 1>say is, without this conversation, if you're of force him

0:34:00.920 --> 0:34:02.400
<v Speaker 1>to do something he doesn't want to do, all it's

0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:05.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna do is build resentment. He's gonna resent it even

0:34:05.600 --> 0:34:08.920
<v Speaker 1>more and resent you even more. You just can't. As

0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:11.040
<v Speaker 1>much as it's the easy option, you can't go down

0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:13.400
<v Speaker 1>that track. This just has to be doesn't even have

0:34:13.440 --> 0:34:14.920
<v Speaker 1>to be a hard conversation, but it has to be

0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:15.560
<v Speaker 1>a conversation.

0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:16.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, do you not think though?

0:34:16.680 --> 0:34:19.120
<v Speaker 2>When you have some of these conversations like it can

0:34:19.160 --> 0:34:22.520
<v Speaker 2>almost make the issue a bigger problem. Like if the

0:34:22.560 --> 0:34:24.600
<v Speaker 2>fact that you're like talking about it and you're giving

0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:27.080
<v Speaker 2>airtime to it, and then you can become insecure when

0:34:27.080 --> 0:34:29.040
<v Speaker 2>you're actually in the bedroom so when it comes to

0:34:29.040 --> 0:34:31.680
<v Speaker 2>like going down on you, you think, oh my god, he's

0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:33.719
<v Speaker 2>only doing it now because I've made him do it,

0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:35.480
<v Speaker 2>and so therefore you then get in your own head

0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:36.600
<v Speaker 2>about the whole situation.

0:34:36.640 --> 0:34:37.640
<v Speaker 3>It becomes even bigger.

0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, the other option is just sit on his face.

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:44.680
<v Speaker 3>Just get on up there, girl. This is all we're

0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:46.080
<v Speaker 3>doing tonight. We're gonna have a really fun time. We're

0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:47.160
<v Speaker 3>gonna go down on me for an hour.

0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:50.480
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, guys, that is it from us on askun Car.
