WEBVTT - ASK UNCUT - Shut it down! He's NOT leaving his wife. 

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Hi, guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:26.639
<v Speaker 1>One Cut. This is Thursday's down and dirty, spicey edition.

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:29.319
<v Speaker 1>We call this bad Boy Ask Gun Cut, and this

0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>is where you're writing your questions and we do our

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:32.840
<v Speaker 1>best to answer them.

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm Brittany and I'm Keisha, feeling in for Laura.

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>We have another little appearance by producer Keisha this week. Unfortunately, guys,

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Laura was a little bit under the weather this week

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.239
<v Speaker 1>and she just wasn't able to get here for this episode.

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 2>But she sends her deepest condolences. But we have Keisha.

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Kisha, You've made a few appearances and we absolutely love

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>having you, so thank.

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 2>You for joining us today. Thank you for having me.

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 3>I am very excited because it's breaking up the monotony

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 3>of my boring as shit life right now in lockdown.

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean this is my first question. How are you?

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 2>How's things things?

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I mean, I'm filling in for Laura, so

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 3>I probably sound really similar to her where I'm like,

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 3>it's a real wave for me at the moment. Some

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.840
<v Speaker 3>days are pretty low and some days are okay, and

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm having a pretty good day today. I feel like

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 3>I listened to Tuesday's episode with Hugh from The Resilience Project,

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, Yes, this is exactly what I

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.320
<v Speaker 3>need to listen to you right now. I'm feeling good

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.039
<v Speaker 3>and I have had one kind of spicy thing happened

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.400
<v Speaker 3>in my life that I have been dying to tell

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 3>you about, and I've deliberately tried to keep my mouth

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 3>shut and not tell you when we've been talking normally

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 3>so that I could share it on the pod.

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I love this, and I love that we do this,

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Like obviously Laura and I do this all the time,

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>but we're like, we really want to tell each other something,

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>something funny has happened or something We've had this question

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>that we want to ask each other, but we do

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>our best. We're like, we can't tell you. We've got

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>to say before the podcast because you genuinely want the

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>real reaction. But I'm here for this, Keisha. Let me

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>live vicariously through you back home, like you're living vicariously

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>through me. What has been happening? What is so spicy

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>that you couldn't tell me?

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 3>So? I have been set up on a date.

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Very exciting, right, Yes, Okay, I remember those days. This

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.399
<v Speaker 2>is exciting, This exciting time. But you know what setups

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>can be. I don't know how I feel about them.

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll wait to you tell me your story, but I

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 1>don't know how I feel about them, especially if they're

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 1>a blind setup.

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 3>So I will give a little bit of context. As

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.919
<v Speaker 3>some of our wonderful podcast family know, I am living

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 3>at Britt's house while you're away. I'm currently sitting in

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 3>your lounge room.

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 1>It must be kind of weird for you. You literally have

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>taken over my life. You've stillid in with Laura, with

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.359
<v Speaker 1>Laura and Matt all the time you're in my house,

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>You're opening my packages.

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:48.239
<v Speaker 3>That's true. Look lockdown when you live alone. I think

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.640
<v Speaker 3>for anyone living alone right now, they would relate to

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 3>the fact that it can be pretty bloody lonely. And

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 3>I am quite an extroverted person. So I have been

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 3>struggling a little bit. And I've been talking to one

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 3>of my friends who lives in Queensland pretty much every

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 3>day on the phone, and the other week kind of

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 3>been talking to her about how much I've been feeling

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 3>quite lonely and whatnot. And I feel like I'm getting

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.359
<v Speaker 3>better at it. I feel like I'm starting to manage

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 3>the loneliness, and she was like, do you know what

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.919
<v Speaker 3>I actually thought of this today? I have a friend

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 3>that lives a couple of minutes away from you. I

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 3>think you're really suited to each other. You both are going,

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 3>you're active, you're extroverted, You've got similar interests and whatnot.

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>So you both want to get down and dirty, you

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>both want to feel in sometime. Absolutely hot girl summer copy,

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>hot girl waxed and vax summer.

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 4>Waxvaxed and ready to climax.

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 3>She said, here, let me send you their Instagram account

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 3>and you can follow them. So the Instagram account was

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 3>sent to me and I looked at the profile and

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh my god, you're so right, Like

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 3>they look freaking awesome. Let me slide into the DMS.

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'll make the first step. As it turns out, Britt,

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 3>I've actually been set up by a friend to make

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 3>a friend. So it's not quite what you're thinking.

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's a friend set up. It's a friend day.

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Is it a male or female?

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 3>It's a female. And I'm straight and I'm experimenting. I'm

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 3>not curious.

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 2>You're straighty one eighty.

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've moved here a few days before we went

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 3>into lockdown. So in our five kilometer radius that I'm

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 3>allowed to exercise in, I've got a.

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.279
<v Speaker 4>Total of three friends, and Laura is one of them.

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know very many people around here. And

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 3>like I said, I've been spending so much time, you know,

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 3>working from home and living alone, and I've kind of

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 3>just been like I need some human beings in my life.

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.840
<v Speaker 3>And so my friend has like set me up with

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 3>her friend and we started messaging on Instagram and then

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 3>we started texting, Oh my god, this is so cute,

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 3>and we met up the other day. I was walking

0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 3>down to our meetup spot and I was thinking at

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 3>the time, my god, this feels so much like a

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 3>Hinge date. Like I wonder if she's gonna like me.

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if she's gonna think I'm cool.

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Is she gonna think I I look like my pictures?

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 2>That's actually what I thought.

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 3>I was like, Oh my gosh, this person has only

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 3>seen my Instagram, and like, I am so much hotter on.

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.239
<v Speaker 4>Instagram that what I am. Particularly right now.

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Because it's been nine weeks since any place that looks

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.840
<v Speaker 3>after me has been opened. My eyebrows are growing out

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 3>of control.

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 1>How ridiculous are women that this is what we're thinking about.

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 2>You've been in lockdown for nine weeks, You're going stir crazy.

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 2>You need a friend.

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.039
<v Speaker 1>You're on the way to meet just a friend that

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.280
<v Speaker 1>someone has introduced you to, and all you can think

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>of is like, is she gonna judge my hair? Is

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 1>she gonna judge my eyebrow? Hi, I haven't got a

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.480
<v Speaker 1>tan on. I look better at my phonos. We're so silly.

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 3>I saw her standing there, or what resembled her Instagram,

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 3>and I went up and I was like, Hey.

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm Keisha.

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Like, it's nice to meet you.

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 3>And for someone who is usually quite confident, I was like,

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 3>oh my gosh, I have not been in this experience

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 3>for so long. Anyway, I hung out with her. She's

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 3>a freaking legend. She is intimidatingly fit, and so now

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I've got a train and get fit

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.600
<v Speaker 3>up before I can go and exercise.

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 2>With Yeah, welcome to BONDI. It's like when when you

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:01.159
<v Speaker 2>get a cleaner.

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Every time I get a cleaner, I have to clean

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 1>my house before the cleaner comes.

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 2>It's like I want my house to be clean for them.

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:07.600
<v Speaker 2>It's the same thing. You gotta get fit before you

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 2>can hang out with a fit pit one.

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Hundred percent and so yet to have friend date number two,

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.160
<v Speaker 3>but I'm very much looking forward to it, although I'm

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 3>not sure whether I should text her first.

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 4>Like this is very much reminiscent of the dating game.

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>You're still waiting, still waiting for the text, like I

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>had a really good time today, Like, let's do it

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:26.920
<v Speaker 1>again soon.

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 4>I want to freak her out. I don't want it

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:30.920
<v Speaker 4>to be like, Okay, you're a bit weird and you're

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 4>a bit full on.

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 3>But I have a total I mean, now I have

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.719
<v Speaker 3>four friends in my five komita radius.

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Now I love that. For you, it's increasing exponentially.

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>I have gone on a friend day before so and

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 1>it turned out very successfully. The same sort of a

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>thing without the worldwide pandemic and lockdown, et cetera. Happened

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 1>to me probably Actually I'd only been living in Sydney

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>for probably six months, right, I'd moved from Port mcquarie,

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>and there was this girl that I knew in Port McQuary.

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Her name was Kate. I'm just gonna out hi, Kate,

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 2>if you're listening. We went to the same gym right.

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 2>We went to the same.

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Gym for years, but we never spoke a word to

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>each other. I thought she was a bitch, because she was,

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 1>but it turns out she just painfully shy. But she

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>just never wanted to make eye contact with anyone. She

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.480
<v Speaker 1>never spoke to any one, and I just I was like, oh,

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I just assumed she thought she was too good for everyone.

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>But she's the most beautiful human. And this is why

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>you can't judge a book by its cover, because she

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 1>was just painfully shy. Like she was just a really

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>shy girl. Anyway, I moved to Sydney and then after

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>about six months, I got a message from someone else

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>that I went to the gym with that I was

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 1>friends with, and she was like, hey, I know this

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>is a super random, but you know, okay, from the gym,

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 1>she just moved to Sydney. She doesn't know anyone, you know.

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I just thought i'd let you know she's moved not

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 1>far from you. And I had just moved to Sydney

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>six months ago alone as well. I didn't really know anyone,

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 1>so I knew what it was like. So I was like,

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 1>you know what, Instead, it was set up. It was

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>like if this is a number in case, like I

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>thought you guys could hang out. It might make it

0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>feel good. I totally didn't have to, but I was like,

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I know what it's like. Even though I think this

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 1>girl hates me, I'm still just going to reach out.

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure I'll never hear from her. So I shot

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>her a message and I was like, Hey, it's Britant

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 1>from Port, like from that gym that we went to

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 1>for two years and never spoke to each other.

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 2>I was like, hey, it's britt.

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Look such and such said that you've just moved to Sydney.

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm in a suburb over. This is my number. I

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 1>know what it's like. If you ever want a friend

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 1>or something, you.

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Know, let me know.

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Think you know, I'd never hear from her. Ten minutes later,

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 1>she messaged me. She's like, oh my god, I would

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 1>absolutely love that.

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Can we meet? And I was like, okay.

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:32.200
<v Speaker 1>We met the next day, and then I like flash

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>forward five or six years and I'm am seeing her wedding.

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.679
<v Speaker 1>We're still best of friends, all from this one little

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>friend date.

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 2>So I think that, like, hats off to you.

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 1>This this stuff really does work, and it's so hard

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:45.439
<v Speaker 1>to make friends.

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 2>As an adult right.

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.679
<v Speaker 3>Like one hundred percent. And I mean I've moved around

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 3>the country a number of times. I've moved internationally as well,

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 3>and I've had a couple of these situations, Like every

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 3>time that you've moved somewhere new, you kind of have

0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 3>to re establish yourself. You've got to re establish a

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.840
<v Speaker 3>friendship circle, and it can take a while, and particularly

0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 3>in times like we're in right now. I mean, it's

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 3>not like you're meeting people through hobbies. And that's what

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.560
<v Speaker 3>started the Life Uncut meetup groups.

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 3>It was people kind of saying I would love to

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 3>meet like minded people. I want to make some friends

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.559
<v Speaker 3>as an adult, but we can't have them right now

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 3>where I am because we're in damn lockdown.

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>No we can't.

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:24.959
<v Speaker 1>But they are speaking of the grooves like that was

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.200
<v Speaker 1>the next thing I was gonna say. They're still going

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 1>on in all the places around the country that are

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.719
<v Speaker 1>in lockdown. They're still doing these meetup groups and we're

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 1>getting tagged and send photos of you guys hanging out

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 1>all the time. And I'm talking twenty thirty forty people

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>getting together. So if you guys are listening right now,

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 1>and maybe you want to line up some new friends

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 1>for when lockdown finishes, or maybe you're not in lockdown

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.679
<v Speaker 1>at the moment, jump on the Facebook discussion group if

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>you're not already on there, because there are so many

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 1>people having Like on last weekend gone I think it

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>was in Brisbane or the Sunshine Coasts. They had the

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.560
<v Speaker 1>girls had this big pub crawl. They all dressed up.

0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 1>It was absolutely amazing, like I was so here for it.

0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:01.719
<v Speaker 3>I saw that, and to be honest, I was like, ugh, fuck.

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.840
<v Speaker 4>You guys, that looks like so much fun.

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 2>I stopped living your best life what I would do

0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:07.720
<v Speaker 2>right now.

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 3>But in all seriousness, I am actually so grateful of

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.719
<v Speaker 3>my friend that has set me up on a friend day.

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 3>So if you have a friend that's in lockdown and

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 3>you have another friend that exists within their kind of area,

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.320
<v Speaker 3>tee them up, set them up on social media, make

0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 3>them be friends.

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Be sure. I thought you were just about.

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 1>To say so, if you guys have a friend in Bondni,

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 1>please send me their number, send me up. I was like,

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>you're really putting the call out all right, Well, Kisha,

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you're making friends. I feel like my little girls.

0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 2>I've sent it a preschool and she's making friends. She's

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 2>like spreading wings.

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Before we get in to ask and cut, which we

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>do have some really great questions, We've actually.

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Got one that I'm like, poor, I don't know how

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 2>I feel about it. It's tricky.

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 1>But before we get into that, last time you came

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>on as a co host, Keisha, we had some comments

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 1>on the Facebook group that said, like they're all positive,

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 1>but they said, it appears that Kisha and Matt have

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 1>both hosted this podcast multiple times, but neither of you

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 1>have shared your own accidentally unfiltered. Now, every guest we

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 1>ever have on the podcasts, we have one rule, and

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>it's like, you've got to spill your most embarrassing moment,

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, the drill.

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Keisha.

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Somehow you've managed to get away with it, and I

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know how that slipped by my radar, but today's

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the day.

0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you have an accidentally unfiltered for us?

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Look, it was definitely deliberate that I got away with it,

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 3>because I'm kind of one of those people that I

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 3>feel as though sometimes I read because I go through

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 3>our Instagram messages as well, and sometimes I read people's

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 3>accidentally unfiltered. So I'm like, why are we embarrassed by that?

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 3>That happens to me all the time.

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Same sometimes people write that, and I was like, far out.

0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.319
<v Speaker 2>If you knew my life, you would feel so much

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:43.319
<v Speaker 2>better about yours.

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 4>One hundred percent.

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 3>So, to be completely honest, it was through listening to

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Tuesday's episode of Hugh van Kilenberg from The Resilience Project

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.880
<v Speaker 3>that made me kind of I feel as though, if

0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm being completely honest, my mind blanks out a lot

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 3>of the embarrassing shit that happens to me, so that

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, that happened, I'm going to forget about it

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.319
<v Speaker 3>so that I don't have to live through that trauma

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 3>ever again.

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Same, I feel like, how am I thirty four years

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 1>old and I'm still getting flashed? Like you just said,

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 1>something happens. I get a flashback of this mortifying moment,

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, how have I gotten to this point

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:14.599
<v Speaker 1>of my life and I've forgotten that?

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, it was through listening to Tuesday's episode that I

0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 3>was like, oh my gosh, I fully forgot that this

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 3>happened to me. So for my accidentally unfiltered it's quite

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.640
<v Speaker 3>innocent and quite sweet. So for this we're going back

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 3>to year seven, and I actually remember at the time,

0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:32.439
<v Speaker 3>you know when you go to high school. I went

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.559
<v Speaker 3>to one of like one of the high schools where

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.080
<v Speaker 3>a lot of the primary schools from around the area

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.240
<v Speaker 3>combined to go to the one high school. So there

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:40.960
<v Speaker 3>was like two hundred and fifty kids in my year,

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 3>and I was so stoked with how many new boys

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 3>there were.

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 4>To look at and to like. I was like, yes,

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:53.200
<v Speaker 4>we're in Heaven's seven. Anyway, I ended up having this big.

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 3>Crush on a boy and I'm gonna name him because

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, I have no idea in Australia where he

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.679
<v Speaker 3>is or what his life is, but he's was Heath.

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.679
<v Speaker 2>But if you're listening to Life on come find him shot.

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.559
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, Heath and I were in the same music class,

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 3>and back in the day, I was quite a good pianist,

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 3>so I was pretty good at the piano. I was

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:13.720
<v Speaker 3>thinking I was on like grade five or grade six

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:14.680
<v Speaker 3>by this point.

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, Heath was a really.

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.320
<v Speaker 3>Good guitar player, and so, in what I thought was

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.679
<v Speaker 3>just the most genius way to flirt with a boy

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 3>at the age of thirteen, I was like, how about

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.880
<v Speaker 3>if I teach you the piano, you teach me to

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 3>play the guitar.

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.680
<v Speaker 4>And he was like, yeah, that sounds cool.

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 3>So we struck a deal, and on this particular day,

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 3>we were out the front of our music room. And

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 3>now that I'm telling this story, I can quite literally

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 3>see it, like I can see all of this happening,

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:48.600
<v Speaker 3>almost like it was in slow motion. You feel the mortification, hmm.

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:50.840
<v Speaker 3>So I had no idea whether he had a crush

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.559
<v Speaker 3>on me. And I had liked him for ages. I'm

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.720
<v Speaker 3>talking like months and months and months, and I just

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.720
<v Speaker 3>had absolutely no idea how he felt about me. So

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.440
<v Speaker 3>we were sitting down and he was teaching me some

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 3>basic chords on the guitar, and he was teaching me

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.760
<v Speaker 3>how to strum, and all of a sudden, he turns

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.560
<v Speaker 3>to me and he looked at me and he said,

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:13.440
<v Speaker 3>do you know you're beautiful? And I felt like I

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.319
<v Speaker 3>just froze and my heart was raising a million miles

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 3>an hour, and I was so shocked.

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 2>This is the cutest thing ever.

0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, oh my gosh, that is like

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 3>the sweetest thing you've ever said to me. Like, to

0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 3>be honest, I really like you, and I've kind of

0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 3>wondered whether you felt the same way about me, and

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 3>I went on and on and on about how I

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 3>really liked him.

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 4>He turned to me and he looked really.

0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Confused, like he had a full frown on his face,

0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 3>eyebrows pressed together. He looked at me and he went, no.

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 3>I meant, do you know the song You're Beautiful? The

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:48.720
<v Speaker 3>one by James Blunt? Like the guitar cords are really easy,

0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:49.120
<v Speaker 3>and I.

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:50.200
<v Speaker 4>Was gonna teach you.

0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 3>How to play it, and I was like, I want

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 3>to die. I felt like a turtle that was just

0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 3>pulling at every single limb into my shell.

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, how do I get out of

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 4>this scenario?

0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 3>Because it is so obvious that this boy does not

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 3>like me and I've just confessed my love for him.

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.200
<v Speaker 2>This is so good because when you tell the story.

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 1>I was just like wow, Like what a mature conversation,

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Like do you know you're beautiful?

0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I was wondering how you felt about

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 2>me too. I was like, what year seven? I mean like,

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 2>if I told you what.

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I was saying in year seven, it was on a

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 1>whole nother way of length. Keeter, that is so embarrassing,

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Like that is dead'st really embarrassing.

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 3>It was so embarrassing. He did not like me. He

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.600
<v Speaker 3>did not have a crush on me. I never dated

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 3>the boy, and I'm not even sure if I ever

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 3>spoke to him again.

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.120
<v Speaker 4>After this, I was like, screw your piano lessons.

0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm out.

0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 2>That was the start and the end of our band.

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 2>That was it. You never made it.

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.040
<v Speaker 3>Still to this day, I did not know how to

0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 3>play Your Beautiful by James Blunt the guitar.

0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get into some questions.

0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to kick start question one with one that

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I have pretty strong feelings about. It's like, Keisha, I'm

0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.160
<v Speaker 1>going to be interested to hear what you think. So,

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.480
<v Speaker 1>my housemaid is sleeping with a married guy, and it

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 1>makes me incredibly anxious. I have grown to absolutely resent her.

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 1>It's been nearly two years since they've started seeing each other.

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 1>His wife is so gorgeous, and they have been together

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 1>for nearly ten years and married for about three. I

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.280
<v Speaker 1>know her only from Facebook, and she actually works with

0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:19.680
<v Speaker 1>a good friend of mine. Facebook's talking here, That's how

0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I know. I just wish I could tell her from

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>one woman to another. It absolutely kills me what they

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 1>are both doing, to the point where I leave my

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 1>own house when he comes over, and will literally go

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 1>and hang out at the park up the road alone

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.840
<v Speaker 1>until he is gone. He will come over during the day,

0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.360
<v Speaker 1>sleep with my housemate, and then leave our house just

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:39.640
<v Speaker 1>before his wife returns home from work. I'm then left

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 1>to comfort my housemate when she gets upset, but also

0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm now the only person she talks to about how

0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:46.560
<v Speaker 1>much of a great guy he is, so I have

0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>to sit there and listen to this. It's absolutely zero

0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 1>of my business, but to think another woman is out

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 1>there oblivious to her douchebag of a husband drives me

0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.480
<v Speaker 1>up the wall. Now I don't have any proof, and

0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.240
<v Speaker 1>he has told my housemate that he deletes everything from

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.680
<v Speaker 1>his phone every day. I know it's none of my business,

0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to come in between someone's marriage,

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.680
<v Speaker 1>but I just can't handle it anymore. My housemaid is

0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.879
<v Speaker 1>under the impression that he'll leave his wife for her, lol,

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.159
<v Speaker 1>as if we all know that's never going to happen.

0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:15.399
<v Speaker 1>I used to feel sorry for my housemate because she

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.120
<v Speaker 1>was so clearly in love with this guy. She's completely

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:21.560
<v Speaker 1>fallen for him, and he's manipulating her. She's equally in

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.480
<v Speaker 1>the wrong, though she knows that he's married, and I

0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.160
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be friends with someone who's knowingly doing

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 1>that to another person. I don't know where these strong,

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.199
<v Speaker 1>resentful feelings have come from. I've never been cheated on.

0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I've never had anything like that happen to me personally,

0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, a happy, healthy relationship of my own. But

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.800
<v Speaker 1>this just makes me so anxious. I guess my point

0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 1>is do I just stay out of it? So many

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:45.920
<v Speaker 1>other people know what they're doing. They know the married guy,

0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:47.919
<v Speaker 1>they know this girl, they know the wife, yet no

0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:51.320
<v Speaker 1>one has said anything to this wife. I guess I

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 1>just want to know what do I do now. That

0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:58.080
<v Speaker 1>was a big, big question, but I felt like there

0:17:58.080 --> 0:17:59.639
<v Speaker 1>were a lot of parts to that, so I wanted

0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 1>to read it or I have some feelings, but Ke,

0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:04.000
<v Speaker 1>she can give me your feelings first.

0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:09.240
<v Speaker 3>My main feeling is sadness. I feel so sad hearing

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.840
<v Speaker 3>that story in this scenario, I mean, I kind of

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:17.399
<v Speaker 3>immediately think about how the wife would feel, and I

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.480
<v Speaker 3>think the fact that this has been going on for

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 3>two years, and I mean, we don't know the nature

0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.160
<v Speaker 3>of their marriage. By the sounds of it, because he's

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.240
<v Speaker 3>deleting everything. It doesn't sound as if they've worked out

0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.679
<v Speaker 3>that they're okay with the relationship being open, and that

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 3>they're okay with them sleeping with other people. It sounds

0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 3>like this is a cheating scenario, And I just think

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 3>about how I would feel if I was the wife,

0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:42.920
<v Speaker 3>and not only have you got betrayal and you've got

0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:46.199
<v Speaker 3>your husband that you've been with for ten years cheating

0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.680
<v Speaker 3>on you, you also have all of these people who

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.800
<v Speaker 3>know about it, and that is so humiliating and it's

0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:55.439
<v Speaker 3>so hurtful. As the wife, if I'm putting myself in

0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:57.840
<v Speaker 3>her shoes, I think I would like to know.

0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:00.679
<v Speaker 1>Okay, there are a few aspects to it. Let's just

0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:02.880
<v Speaker 1>start with the friend. She doesn't want to be friends

0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 1>with this girl anymore, can't be around her. She doesn't

0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:06.439
<v Speaker 1>know if she should speak to.

0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Her about it.

0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I think you absolutely have done your part as a friend.

0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.760
<v Speaker 1>This is I think this is unacceptable behavior. I don't think.

0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:16.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how people can don't do in this.

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Imagine if your partner was cheating with someone for ten years, like,

0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:24.720
<v Speaker 1>imagine if that was you doing that, and this girl

0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.080
<v Speaker 1>is doing that to someone else's family. So I think

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 1>straight away, this girl is in the wrong. What she

0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.359
<v Speaker 1>is doing is wrong, and you're right, Keisha. We don't

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.320
<v Speaker 1>know the situation. We don't know their marriage, but what

0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.600
<v Speaker 1>we do know is they are married and this has

0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:38.960
<v Speaker 1>been going on behind the wife's back for two years,

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.679
<v Speaker 1>so we know that it's wrong. If this was me,

0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I could be friends with this girl anymore.

0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:45.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I could, but I would have to

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:47.800
<v Speaker 1>have a really I don't know if you have had

0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:48.639
<v Speaker 1>the conversation with her.

0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:49.840
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't sound like you've had It.

0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:51.639
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like you've actually been a good friend and it's

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:55.160
<v Speaker 1>been comfitting her when she feels down, you know, after

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.920
<v Speaker 1>he comes fox her and leaves, which you know he's

0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:00.919
<v Speaker 1>obviously manipulating her enough to make her feel like he

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.000
<v Speaker 1>is going to leave his wife for her. But the

0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 1>fact is this has been going on for years and

0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:06.879
<v Speaker 1>he just comes over in his lunch break to have sex.

0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Like pretty big red flag here that he's not going anywhere,

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:10.600
<v Speaker 1>He's not leaving his wife.

0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:13.000
<v Speaker 2>You sound like you've been a good friend and you've

0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.439
<v Speaker 2>been comforting her. I think the time has come. I

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:17.240
<v Speaker 2>know I wouldn't be still there after two years. I

0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:18.119
<v Speaker 2>would be really honest to.

0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:22.199
<v Speaker 1>Say I can't condone this anymore, and I can't comfort

0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 1>you anymore.

0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:24.479
<v Speaker 2>I would be very honest with her.

0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I would say, as your friend, I'm going to just

0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:28.600
<v Speaker 1>tell you this guy, this guy's not going to leave

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:29.240
<v Speaker 1>his wife.

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:31.479
<v Speaker 2>You need to realize how you're being treated.

0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 1>And quite often when you're in a situation like that,

0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.719
<v Speaker 1>you don't see what other people are seeing. You know,

0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:40.560
<v Speaker 1>love is blind. There is a saying love. When you're

0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.120
<v Speaker 1>deep in love, you have the wool pulled over your eyes.

0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:45.640
<v Speaker 1>You don't see what other people see, and you see

0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:46.960
<v Speaker 1>what you want to see, and you feel what you

0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:47.639
<v Speaker 1>want to feel.

0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:49.000
<v Speaker 2>So this girl.

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Thinks that she's probably met the love of a life

0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and he's going to leave his wife for right. But

0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you he's absolutely not going to And

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:57.320
<v Speaker 1>if he does, do you want to be with someone

0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.680
<v Speaker 1>that you know is cheated on their wife for two years?

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Just think he's going to do the same thing. I

0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:06.480
<v Speaker 1>think you are completely in your right to extract yourself

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.320
<v Speaker 1>from his friendship. And if I were you, I would

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 1>move out. You don't have to be her housemate anymore.

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:12.399
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to see that. You should never have

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:15.320
<v Speaker 1>to leave your own house for hours because someone else

0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:17.240
<v Speaker 1>is coming into your house and made you feel uncomfortable.

0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:18.919
<v Speaker 1>That was another big thing for me, that you have

0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:20.640
<v Speaker 1>to leave and sit at the park up the road

0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:22.960
<v Speaker 1>on your own for hours because he's come over to

0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:26.199
<v Speaker 1>have sex. Absolutely not, So that's my first thing. Definitely,

0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:28.639
<v Speaker 1>you need to say something you can completely extract yourself

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 1>from the situation. You need to make her see what

0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:34.800
<v Speaker 1>she's doing from an outside perspective. A. It's not right

0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 1>to the wife and the husband like, it's not right

0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.399
<v Speaker 1>to that family, and B it's not very fair on

0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:42.399
<v Speaker 1>herself because she can't see what he's doing to her.

0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:43.600
<v Speaker 1>She can't see the manipulation.

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:47.439
<v Speaker 3>So I mean, in that scenario, you're saying, like, remove

0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:51.720
<v Speaker 3>yourself from the living situation, which is pretty annoying but doable.

0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:54.399
<v Speaker 3>And I mean I guess she would probably feel in

0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:56.639
<v Speaker 3>that situation though, that she was kind of enabling it

0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:59.560
<v Speaker 3>to continue, right, because if she removes herself, she kind

0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:01.960
<v Speaker 3>of removes the accountability. This other girl is going to

0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 3>get another housemaid in who doesn't necessarily know the situation,

0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 3>and the same things probably going to go on. So

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:12.320
<v Speaker 3>what do you think she should do about that situation?

0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when I think about look, if I was the wife,

0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:17.720
<v Speaker 1>if that was happening to me, I, from the bottom

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 1>of my heart, one hundred percent would want to know,

0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I would hope, especially if all these people in our

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:25.960
<v Speaker 1>group or extended group knew that there was an affair

0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:26.800
<v Speaker 1>going on for years.

0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:29.640
<v Speaker 2>If I found that out and knew that no one had.

0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:32.200
<v Speaker 1>The balls to tell me, I would be I would

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:34.480
<v Speaker 1>be upset, I would be angry, I'd be embarrassed, I

0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:35.639
<v Speaker 1>would feel everything.

0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:38.440
<v Speaker 2>So I would want to know. Now, having said that,

0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:39.520
<v Speaker 2>it's still.

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Very hard to be the person that goes and breaks

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:44.119
<v Speaker 1>that news to someone you know.

0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:46.080
<v Speaker 3>This kind of makes me think of a situation that

0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:49.600
<v Speaker 3>happened to a friend of mine. Her partner had cheated

0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:52.600
<v Speaker 3>on her, and an acquaintance of hers had become aware

0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 3>of it, and she actually had proof of it, and

0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:58.880
<v Speaker 3>this acquaintance decided that she would reach out to one

0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:01.600
<v Speaker 3>of our friends that she knew was really good friends

0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:05.880
<v Speaker 3>with the person whose partner was cheating, and she said, hey, look,

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:08.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't feel as though I know her well enough

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:09.959
<v Speaker 3>to be the one who breaks this news to her,

0:23:10.000 --> 0:23:12.040
<v Speaker 3>but I feel like I know you, and I feel

0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:14.720
<v Speaker 3>like you know her well enough, so I'm going to

0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:18.040
<v Speaker 3>kind of leave you with this information. I don't want

0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:20.320
<v Speaker 3>anything more to do with it, and you can decide

0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:22.119
<v Speaker 3>what you want to do with it and whether you

0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 3>want to go to her and tell her, and you

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:29.480
<v Speaker 3>can kind of facilitate that exchange of information. And I

0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:31.760
<v Speaker 3>think that that was a really kind thing for her

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:34.200
<v Speaker 3>to do because she was kind of like, I want

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:37.239
<v Speaker 3>her to know, because she deserves to know, but I

0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:38.960
<v Speaker 3>want her to find out in a way that's not

0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:42.760
<v Speaker 3>going to be really embarrassing and very humiliating for her,

0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:45.639
<v Speaker 3>thinking that everybody in the whole town knows, you know,

0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:46.920
<v Speaker 3>because this acquaintance knew.

0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Look, I've said this on the podcast before as well,

0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:51.840
<v Speaker 1>And this is why I find it so difficult. That

0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 1>exact thing happened to me, and I was the person

0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:55.960
<v Speaker 1>that knew, and I was the person that went to

0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:58.040
<v Speaker 1>my friends that were friends with this girl, and I

0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:00.919
<v Speaker 1>just said, look, this is the information. You guys, decide

0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:02.240
<v Speaker 1>what you want to do with that, because I don't

0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:03.959
<v Speaker 1>know this girl, but I know that this is happening.

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:05.440
<v Speaker 2>And I knew. It wasn't just.

0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Like a query. It wasn't like oh, a rumor, like

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:10.520
<v Speaker 1>we knew what was happening. And I was like, I

0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 1>just know that it wouldn't be great coming from me

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:14.080
<v Speaker 1>because I don't know it. I also don't want to

0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:16.040
<v Speaker 1>be involved in it. But I just felt like I

0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:18.480
<v Speaker 1>had to do something because I thought if that was me,

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:21.360
<v Speaker 1>like I would just be mortified. I say, I gave

0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 1>my friends the information that were really good friends with her,

0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:26.840
<v Speaker 1>they decided that they should tell her, and let me

0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 1>tell you, that just fucking blew up in my face.

0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:34.359
<v Speaker 1>That was a drama for the next year because I

0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:36.800
<v Speaker 1>found out the information had come from me and someone

0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 1>else and there are other people involved, and it just

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:41.199
<v Speaker 1>gets messy because you get whether you want it or not,

0:24:41.280 --> 0:24:43.080
<v Speaker 1>you're going to be dragged into it. So this is

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:46.560
<v Speaker 1>something I always tell people to think about. For this girl. Yes,

0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:48.679
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna want to go and drop this bombshell, but

0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:50.920
<v Speaker 1>that's not all it is. You don't just go and say, hey,

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:53.959
<v Speaker 1>your husband's cheating bye, like that's not what it is.

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:55.199
<v Speaker 2>You will be involved in that.

0:24:55.280 --> 0:24:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Then they'll want answers, they want to know how, There'll

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:00.679
<v Speaker 1>be constant questions, they'll big phone calls, and it's just

0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:02.520
<v Speaker 1>something you need to remember that it's not just gonna

0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:05.359
<v Speaker 1>be something that you waltz into and save someone's relationship,

0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:07.320
<v Speaker 1>and she's going to say thank you so much and

0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:09.560
<v Speaker 1>walk away, and it's going to be very explosive and

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:12.480
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be a lot of repercussions. So for me,

0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't be personally running to the wife to tell her.

0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I would start at the source. I would start by

0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:22.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe you can tell him straight away. Maybe if he's

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:25.320
<v Speaker 1>coming to your house all the time, you're completely entired

0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:26.840
<v Speaker 1>to say, you know what, guys, I'm sick of this.

0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:29.440
<v Speaker 1>You've been cheating under my nose and I don't want

0:25:29.440 --> 0:25:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of it anymore. So you need

0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:33.639
<v Speaker 1>to sort your shit out. Go and speak to your

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:35.800
<v Speaker 1>wife or someone else will like you could always just

0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:37.639
<v Speaker 1>say that even though you know that you're not going

0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 1>to go and run to her, you could just put

0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:40.720
<v Speaker 1>him on the spot and make him feel like.

0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:42.080
<v Speaker 2>The toad that he is.

0:25:42.760 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 1>And then if he keeps this up, maybe things are

0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:48.120
<v Speaker 1>going to implode. But this is your home, and this

0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:50.440
<v Speaker 1>is the thing that mortifies me. You're uncomfortable in your

0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:54.560
<v Speaker 1>own home. You don't have to leave your own home

0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:57.160
<v Speaker 1>and you don't have to feel mortified and anxious every

0:25:57.240 --> 0:25:58.960
<v Speaker 1>day because of what is happening in your own home.

0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Speak to your friend and tell her it's not on anymore.

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:03.239
<v Speaker 1>Tell her he's never gonna leave. You can give her

0:26:03.280 --> 0:26:05.879
<v Speaker 1>some tough love, like that's what friends do. If she

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:08.639
<v Speaker 1>disregards everything you say and there's no respect and she

0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:10.399
<v Speaker 1>continues what she's doing, well, then you know that the

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:12.159
<v Speaker 1>friendship isn't what you thought it is, and you know

0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that the friendship's over.

0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:14.679
<v Speaker 2>That is what I would do.

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:19.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh, girlfriend, I do not envy your situation one little bit.

0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:22.680
<v Speaker 3>Like this just sounds like the most fucking awkward thing

0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 3>that you're ever gonna have to deal with, and I

0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:29.000
<v Speaker 3>wish you all the best. Honestly, I am scratching my

0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:29.439
<v Speaker 3>head at this.

0:26:29.640 --> 0:26:30.879
<v Speaker 2>Just case's just like that's it.

0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:34.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm not even sure what the best. I feel distressed

0:26:34.240 --> 0:26:36.359
<v Speaker 3>by this story because I'm like, I don't even know,

0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't even know what I would do. I don't

0:26:38.840 --> 0:26:40.879
<v Speaker 3>even know, like what the best way to deal with

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:41.320
<v Speaker 3>this is.

0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:43.920
<v Speaker 2>This is awful. I don't think i'd run to the wife.

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I think i'd deal with it with my friend and

0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:47.639
<v Speaker 1>him first, and then I just leave the situation. And

0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:49.840
<v Speaker 1>then if down the track you feel like you still

0:26:49.880 --> 0:26:51.320
<v Speaker 1>want to. Maybe you can do what we just say,

0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:53.600
<v Speaker 1>and then you can tell some of her close friends.

0:26:53.760 --> 0:26:55.560
<v Speaker 1>If everyone else knows, maybe you can all just get

0:26:55.560 --> 0:26:56.879
<v Speaker 1>together and be like, this has got to stop. We

0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:59.840
<v Speaker 1>need to tell her, But you know, can you please

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:02.320
<v Speaker 1>keep us posted with what happens with this, because I

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 1>really want to know who do you confront and what

0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:06.040
<v Speaker 1>is the outcome?

0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:08.840
<v Speaker 2>And or do you just move out run to Alaska?

0:27:08.960 --> 0:27:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Either way, let us know what happens.

0:27:11.160 --> 0:27:13.280
<v Speaker 3>All of a sudden, she's camping at the park up

0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 3>the road and she's like, I have moved out now

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:15.880
<v Speaker 3>I live here.

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:18.440
<v Speaker 4>Thank you by pretty told me I had to leave.

0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Now I live in a Tanning bomber.

0:27:20.800 --> 0:27:23.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, if you're looking for a friend, I'm in the market.

0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 2>I'll set you up on a friend day. You can

0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:29.840
<v Speaker 2>have a double camping O gosh, okay, question number two

0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:30.240
<v Speaker 2>for you.

0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:32.920
<v Speaker 3>We just had a weekend away at a house overlooking

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:35.280
<v Speaker 3>the ocean with my friends. My best friend brought along

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:37.760
<v Speaker 3>her new fella who I hadn't met before. He was

0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:40.440
<v Speaker 3>super friendly. He made a really nice effort to get

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 3>to know everyone. However, I'm noticing so many red flags,

0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:48.359
<v Speaker 3>partly because I was in a previously toxic relationship, and

0:27:48.359 --> 0:27:51.479
<v Speaker 3>I've noticed that she's making the same excuses about his

0:27:51.560 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 3>behavior that I did. He suggests clothing that she should

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:58.879
<v Speaker 3>wear to show off her body, tells her not asks

0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:01.639
<v Speaker 3>her to cook dinner. She had a sexy photo she

0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:04.639
<v Speaker 3>sent him with his friends, just to name a few.

0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:08.320
<v Speaker 3>I desperately want to tell her how I feel. However,

0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:11.479
<v Speaker 3>my partner, who is really amazing, thinks she needs to

0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:15.119
<v Speaker 3>work it out for herself. What do you think I

0:28:15.160 --> 0:28:18.360
<v Speaker 3>should do? She seems really happy, and I'm just kind

0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:20.640
<v Speaker 3>of avoiding spending time with her because I'm not really

0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:22.240
<v Speaker 3>sure what to do. She used to spend a lot

0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:24.280
<v Speaker 3>of time with me and my partner, to the point

0:28:24.280 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 3>where we joked that we were a thropple, But now

0:28:27.040 --> 0:28:30.720
<v Speaker 3>I feel kind of awkward. Should I tell her about

0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:31.760
<v Speaker 3>these red flags?

0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh? This is hard? Have you ever not liked one

0:28:36.480 --> 0:28:38.360
<v Speaker 2>of your friend's partners. I think I've.

0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:41.880
<v Speaker 3>Usually been the one friend that has gotten along with

0:28:41.960 --> 0:28:45.160
<v Speaker 3>most of my friend's partners, whereas some of my other

0:28:45.240 --> 0:28:48.120
<v Speaker 3>friends have not gotten along with them. So I've kind

0:28:48.120 --> 0:28:50.640
<v Speaker 3>of always tried to play devil's advocate or kind of

0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:52.720
<v Speaker 3>be like, oh, you know, they're not that bad. But

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:56.440
<v Speaker 3>in this scenario, I actually have a bit more experience

0:28:56.560 --> 0:28:59.800
<v Speaker 3>from the other side, where I was the one in

0:28:59.840 --> 0:29:04.240
<v Speaker 3>the pretty toxic relationship and my friends could see the

0:29:04.280 --> 0:29:06.320
<v Speaker 3>red flags and came to tell me.

0:29:06.320 --> 0:29:09.480
<v Speaker 2>About it a lot. And so they told you.

0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:11.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think I kind of might have a little

0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:15.720
<v Speaker 3>bit of different advice in this situation, because what ended

0:29:15.800 --> 0:29:17.760
<v Speaker 3>up happening. I mean I was with someone who was

0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:20.400
<v Speaker 3>just a pretty fooful human being, to be completely honest,

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:23.160
<v Speaker 3>who was just like spitting out red flags like they

0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 3>were going.

0:29:23.680 --> 0:29:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Out of fashion, and you're like, cute flags. I was like, I.

0:29:28.320 --> 0:29:31.360
<v Speaker 4>Can fix you, no problem.

0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:36.120
<v Speaker 3>And so my friends, oh my gosh, they just hated

0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:39.680
<v Speaker 3>this boyfriend of mine. They were like, he actually is

0:29:39.720 --> 0:29:42.320
<v Speaker 3>a bad person. He treats you terribly. He has done

0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:47.600
<v Speaker 3>ABCDFG that are wrong to you. Why do you keep

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:49.760
<v Speaker 3>on going back to this guy? Why do you keep

0:29:49.760 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 3>forgiving this guy? And to be honest, their advice was

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:57.880
<v Speaker 3>completely sound, and their opinions and their perspective was very correct.

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:00.719
<v Speaker 3>It was just that I loved the guy, and like

0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:03.320
<v Speaker 3>you said, love is blind, and I wanted to believe

0:30:03.400 --> 0:30:05.760
<v Speaker 3>that he was better than what his actual behavior was.

0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:09.480
<v Speaker 3>And so what ended up happening was that I actually

0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:12.680
<v Speaker 3>started to feel quite isolated. I felt like I couldn't

0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:14.800
<v Speaker 3>talk to my friends about, you know, when I was

0:30:14.840 --> 0:30:17.440
<v Speaker 3>having problems with him, because they would be like, yeah,

0:30:17.480 --> 0:30:19.600
<v Speaker 3>we know he's a bad person, why you're still with him?

0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:22.400
<v Speaker 3>Like we've been telling you for months to stop being

0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:24.479
<v Speaker 3>with him, and you're not listening to us. And what

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 3>they were saying was completely fair, But I think I

0:30:27.080 --> 0:30:29.240
<v Speaker 3>needed to get to that point where I saw the

0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:32.160
<v Speaker 3>red flags and the bad behavior for myself. And I'm

0:30:32.200 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 3>absolutely not blaming them whatsoever. I just started to feel

0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:37.520
<v Speaker 3>as though I couldn't talk about it with anyone anymore

0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:40.080
<v Speaker 3>because they were sick of hearing about it, which is fair.

0:30:40.560 --> 0:30:43.120
<v Speaker 3>So I think that if you do decide to talk

0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:46.000
<v Speaker 3>to her about the red flags that you're seeing, just

0:30:46.200 --> 0:30:49.480
<v Speaker 3>be aware that she might not break up with them.

0:30:49.680 --> 0:30:52.800
<v Speaker 3>And I would suggest kind of telling her that regardless

0:30:52.800 --> 0:30:54.560
<v Speaker 3>of whether she stays with him, you're still gonna be

0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:56.360
<v Speaker 3>her friend and you're still gonna be there for her

0:30:56.440 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 3>to talk to you about whatever's going well and whatever's

0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:02.240
<v Speaker 3>going on bad in her relationship, because she will probably

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:05.960
<v Speaker 3>need someone like that if things get worse. I might

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:09.040
<v Speaker 3>have advice that people don't agree with either, But I

0:31:09.200 --> 0:31:12.560
<v Speaker 3>would let her unless she's in immediate danger, unless he's

0:31:12.720 --> 0:31:16.440
<v Speaker 3>unless he's actually like physically or super emotionally abusive to her,

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:18.520
<v Speaker 3>and there's just some flags that you.

0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Don't agree with.

0:31:19.280 --> 0:31:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I would let her try and work it out on

0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:24.560
<v Speaker 1>her own for a little while, because you do worry

0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:27.920
<v Speaker 1>about exactly what you just said, Keisha, that you'll isolate

0:31:28.000 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 1>her and she won't feel like she can come to

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:32.960
<v Speaker 1>you when she actually needs to. So what I'm saying

0:31:33.080 --> 0:31:35.080
<v Speaker 1>is give her a space to work it out and

0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:38.560
<v Speaker 1>let her come to you. So if eventually, which I'm

0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:40.920
<v Speaker 1>sure she's going to, because we can't be blind to

0:31:40.960 --> 0:31:43.880
<v Speaker 1>this sort of behavior forever, Eventually, if you're that good

0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:45.800
<v Speaker 1>of friends with her, she'll come to you when they've

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:47.920
<v Speaker 1>had a fight, or when he has treated her badly,

0:31:48.000 --> 0:31:49.480
<v Speaker 1>or when he has done something, and she'll want to

0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:52.520
<v Speaker 1>talk about it. And that is your opportunity to tell

0:31:52.560 --> 0:31:55.160
<v Speaker 1>her how you feel without putting all on her, and

0:31:55.200 --> 0:31:56.960
<v Speaker 1>she won't feel like she's attacked, she won't feel like

0:31:57.000 --> 0:31:59.840
<v Speaker 1>you've come to her. She's come to you with her issue,

0:31:59.880 --> 0:32:01.840
<v Speaker 1>and that is your time to say. Now that you

0:32:01.920 --> 0:32:03.680
<v Speaker 1>say it, I have actually noticed there are quite a

0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:05.960
<v Speaker 1>few things that I just don't feel right, like have

0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:08.160
<v Speaker 1>you noticed? And then maybe it gives you the opportunity

0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:10.920
<v Speaker 1>to start the conversation. She'll feel a lot more comfortable

0:32:10.960 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 1>in talking to you if, like I said at the start,

0:32:13.760 --> 0:32:15.800
<v Speaker 1>if it's a lot more serious than that, and you

0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:18.680
<v Speaker 1>were deeply concerned for her one hundred percent, like that's

0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:20.920
<v Speaker 1>what a friend is. You definitely go to her and

0:32:20.960 --> 0:32:23.160
<v Speaker 1>you tell her the truth. You say, this is what

0:32:23.200 --> 0:32:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm seeing, Like are you okay? Is there anything you

0:32:25.160 --> 0:32:27.560
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about? And then you open the lines

0:32:27.560 --> 0:32:30.720
<v Speaker 1>of conversation for that. But this is really tricky, and

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I think you need to trade carefully. And this is

0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:34.239
<v Speaker 1>what I do for every single person that writes in

0:32:34.240 --> 0:32:37.040
<v Speaker 1>a question. I put myself in their shoes. Imagine you

0:32:37.200 --> 0:32:39.800
<v Speaker 1>just got a new boyfriend. You were pretty in love,

0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:41.719
<v Speaker 1>you're pretty happy, you're seeing where it goes, and then

0:32:41.760 --> 0:32:43.400
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, your friends came to you being

0:32:43.440 --> 0:32:45.600
<v Speaker 1>like fucking hate him, Like what are you doing?

0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Leave him?

0:32:46.800 --> 0:32:49.400
<v Speaker 1>You'd be like WHOA. I can tell you right away,

0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:51.680
<v Speaker 1>you'd be on the defensive with your friend and you'd

0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:55.200
<v Speaker 1>probably drive you closer to this new guy. Because you're

0:32:55.200 --> 0:32:57.960
<v Speaker 1>going to be very protective of him. You've got those

0:32:58.040 --> 0:33:01.160
<v Speaker 1>lust feelings and dolphins are going this sex is probably great,

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:05.000
<v Speaker 1>it's new, it's exciting. You just need to be really

0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:07.880
<v Speaker 1>careful in those early days because you can definitely drive

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:09.000
<v Speaker 1>a wedge in the friendship.

0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:09.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:33:09.400 --> 0:33:12.760
<v Speaker 3>I completely agree with that. And also when you're in

0:33:12.800 --> 0:33:16.479
<v Speaker 3>that situation, you're the one who's like, no, but I

0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:18.080
<v Speaker 3>see the other side of them too.

0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:20.440
<v Speaker 2>You don't see how sweet he is to me in bed.

0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:21.800
<v Speaker 2>You don't see that he brings me here.

0:33:21.880 --> 0:33:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we've all been there. We've all bloody been there.

0:33:25.480 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Dud after like my ex had another relationship for two years.

0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I was like, yeah, but you don't see when he

0:33:30.280 --> 0:33:31.400
<v Speaker 1>buys me a coffee.

0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Brittany like, who are you okay?

0:33:35.200 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:33:35.440 --> 0:33:37.960
<v Speaker 2>I was like, it's so easy to be pulled into that.

0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:40.280
<v Speaker 3>She's in a new relationship, she's bound to have a

0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:43.360
<v Speaker 3>problem sometime relatively soon. We all have these little like

0:33:43.440 --> 0:33:46.600
<v Speaker 3>hiccups in these situations, and I think that maybe when

0:33:46.640 --> 0:33:49.200
<v Speaker 3>she comes to talk to you about the first one

0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:51.080
<v Speaker 3>or the next one, that's when you can kind of

0:33:51.120 --> 0:33:55.080
<v Speaker 3>be like, hey, look, also something that had happened previously

0:33:55.160 --> 0:33:56.880
<v Speaker 3>that I've been thinking a little bit about I'm not

0:33:56.880 --> 0:33:59.120
<v Speaker 3>sure if you've been thinking about it, but I noticed

0:33:59.160 --> 0:34:01.200
<v Speaker 3>this and I want to know how you feel about it.

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Maybe you can ask her whether she's been aware of

0:34:03.200 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 3>these red flags and whether you know she feels the

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:07.760
<v Speaker 3>same way as you do. But I think the most

0:34:07.760 --> 0:34:11.120
<v Speaker 3>important thing in this situation is to reassure her that

0:34:11.160 --> 0:34:12.520
<v Speaker 3>you're going to be there to support her.

0:34:12.719 --> 0:34:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Yep, yeah, that's one hundred percent. That is like the

0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:16.880
<v Speaker 1>takeaway case. So that's a really good point. Is just

0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:20.279
<v Speaker 1>to whatever you do, say, make it like one of

0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:22.960
<v Speaker 1>those little sandwiches, like we say a compliment sandwich, but

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:24.280
<v Speaker 1>make it a support sandwich.

0:34:24.520 --> 0:34:25.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, you know I love.

0:34:25.560 --> 0:34:28.080
<v Speaker 1>You, but this is what I'm seeing from him, This

0:34:28.120 --> 0:34:29.960
<v Speaker 1>is what the way I think you are with him,

0:34:30.000 --> 0:34:31.000
<v Speaker 1>This is how he is with you.

0:34:31.520 --> 0:34:33.840
<v Speaker 2>But I'll always be here for you. So a support sandwich.

0:34:33.960 --> 0:34:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Should we go on to question number three? Question number three.

0:34:37.880 --> 0:34:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I've been with my partner for five years, my first

0:34:40.640 --> 0:34:44.200
<v Speaker 1>and only relationship. I've always felt that he wasn't the

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:47.080
<v Speaker 1>one and then it wouldn't last. But all of a sudden,

0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:49.600
<v Speaker 1>we've been together for five years and I'm twenty seven

0:34:49.640 --> 0:34:51.359
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know what to do. I sort of

0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:53.719
<v Speaker 1>just don't even know how we got here. I do

0:34:53.760 --> 0:34:56.920
<v Speaker 1>love him as a person, but I'm not in love.

0:34:57.520 --> 0:34:59.799
<v Speaker 1>There have never been any incidents or big fights seat

0:34:59.800 --> 0:35:02.480
<v Speaker 1>of life to a breakup. My main concern is that

0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:05.759
<v Speaker 1>we're just very different people with very different values. The

0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:08.240
<v Speaker 1>thing that concerns me the most is although he treats

0:35:08.280 --> 0:35:10.680
<v Speaker 1>me well, he has a general lack of empathy and

0:35:10.719 --> 0:35:14.840
<v Speaker 1>compassion for others and is financially unstable. He earns a

0:35:14.840 --> 0:35:17.880
<v Speaker 1>good salary, but he spends it all on unnecessary stuff.

0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:20.919
<v Speaker 1>Being kind and empathetic is important to me, and it's

0:35:20.960 --> 0:35:23.279
<v Speaker 1>how I would want to raise my future children. I'm

0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:25.920
<v Speaker 1>worried that I'll just co through, get married, end up

0:35:25.960 --> 0:35:27.799
<v Speaker 1>unhappy because I didn't want to do the hard thing

0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:30.360
<v Speaker 1>and break up. I'm also scared of being single, and

0:35:30.400 --> 0:35:35.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm worried that I am expecting too much help. Oh

0:35:35.280 --> 0:35:37.799
<v Speaker 1>my god, girl, you are not expecting too much.

0:35:37.920 --> 0:35:42.080
<v Speaker 2>No, and scared of being single? No, I have so

0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 2>many no feelings.

0:35:43.840 --> 0:35:45.719
<v Speaker 3>Trust me, It's a fairy world.

0:35:45.920 --> 0:35:46.600
<v Speaker 4>Right now.

0:35:48.239 --> 0:35:52.040
<v Speaker 1>That I was ten years deep, I was the ambassador

0:35:52.080 --> 0:35:55.840
<v Speaker 1>for bumble. You are preaching to acquire I was on

0:35:55.880 --> 0:35:58.480
<v Speaker 1>a bus stop for bumble, So I feel.

0:35:58.200 --> 0:36:01.080
<v Speaker 4>You ambassador for bumble.

0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:05.200
<v Speaker 3>So what this person is basically tossing up is whether

0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:08.600
<v Speaker 3>you're settling, whether you're going to settle, or whether you're

0:36:08.600 --> 0:36:11.080
<v Speaker 3>gonna risk it. Are you gonna risk it to get

0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:14.319
<v Speaker 3>the biscuit? I have been in one long term relationship

0:36:14.360 --> 0:36:19.400
<v Speaker 3>before greatest guy honestly cannot fault him as a person,

0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:22.319
<v Speaker 3>And I remember towards the end of our relationship, we

0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:26.120
<v Speaker 3>live together, and I remember saying this one thing to

0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:29.000
<v Speaker 3>my friend. I kind of just wish that he would

0:36:29.040 --> 0:36:32.319
<v Speaker 3>give me an excuse to get out of this relationship

0:36:32.360 --> 0:36:35.000
<v Speaker 3>without being the bad guy, because we're not in love

0:36:35.040 --> 0:36:39.200
<v Speaker 3>with each other anymore, and everything is seemingly fine, and

0:36:39.239 --> 0:36:41.319
<v Speaker 3>if people asked us why we broke up, I don't

0:36:41.320 --> 0:36:43.799
<v Speaker 3>even know what I would tell them. But it's not

0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:47.080
<v Speaker 3>working and we're not each other's person, and I feel

0:36:47.120 --> 0:36:48.959
<v Speaker 3>like I just I don't want to be the bad

0:36:49.000 --> 0:36:51.359
<v Speaker 3>guy who calls this relationship off. And I think this

0:36:51.440 --> 0:36:54.400
<v Speaker 3>person feels really really similar, like you've just kind of

0:36:54.560 --> 0:36:57.319
<v Speaker 3>ended up in this situation and you know that this

0:36:57.360 --> 0:37:00.240
<v Speaker 3>person isn't right for you. This isn't you Guys going

0:37:00.360 --> 0:37:03.040
<v Speaker 3>through a tough patch and you need to work on it,

0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:05.600
<v Speaker 3>and you need to put energy and effort into your relationship.

0:37:05.640 --> 0:37:08.680
<v Speaker 3>You're not going through a rough time, you're not in

0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 3>love with the person, and you've established the fact that

0:37:11.120 --> 0:37:13.000
<v Speaker 3>they are not the person that you want to be

0:37:13.080 --> 0:37:15.600
<v Speaker 3>with forever. Things like how you want to raise your

0:37:15.640 --> 0:37:18.720
<v Speaker 3>children are such important values that you need to align

0:37:18.760 --> 0:37:23.480
<v Speaker 3>with because having a kid with someone is a massive

0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:26.200
<v Speaker 3>deal and you're gonna have to go through that together.

0:37:26.400 --> 0:37:29.080
<v Speaker 3>So if you're already feeling like you're not in love

0:37:29.120 --> 0:37:31.080
<v Speaker 3>with this person and that you're not right for each other,

0:37:31.160 --> 0:37:33.839
<v Speaker 3>I can only see this kind of getting worse as

0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:34.520
<v Speaker 3>time goes on.

0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:37.279
<v Speaker 1>I am a big believer of if it is not

0:37:37.360 --> 0:37:38.840
<v Speaker 1>a fuck, yes, it's a no.

0:37:39.480 --> 0:37:41.680
<v Speaker 2>If you do not feel that.

0:37:41.880 --> 0:37:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Excited and passionate about something or someone, Now, this could

0:37:45.520 --> 0:37:48.920
<v Speaker 1>be a situation or an opportunity, a person, the future,

0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:53.640
<v Speaker 1>a decision. If you are literally on the fence being like, oh,

0:37:53.719 --> 0:37:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think like I sort of want to do it,

0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:58.279
<v Speaker 1>but I don't like then it's not you don't want

0:37:58.280 --> 0:38:00.120
<v Speaker 1>to do it. The answer is you don't want to

0:38:00.160 --> 0:38:02.600
<v Speaker 1>it from what you have described. And I feel you

0:38:02.640 --> 0:38:05.279
<v Speaker 1>because I've been in this situation as well. I think

0:38:05.280 --> 0:38:08.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people have been in this situation. What

0:38:08.400 --> 0:38:13.319
<v Speaker 1>you've described is you have a really beautiful friendship. You

0:38:13.400 --> 0:38:16.799
<v Speaker 1>are in a really beautiful friendship. You are living with

0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:20.080
<v Speaker 1>a really beautiful housemate. That is a situation you have described.

0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:23.120
<v Speaker 1>You are two people that like to hang out. You

0:38:23.160 --> 0:38:25.520
<v Speaker 1>don't want the same things. You don't see your future,

0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:27.520
<v Speaker 1>but you love just your day to day and that

0:38:27.600 --> 0:38:30.080
<v Speaker 1>is why it's so hard to break away from because

0:38:30.360 --> 0:38:34.120
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing really huge pushing your way, and every day

0:38:34.160 --> 0:38:36.240
<v Speaker 1>you cose through because you do have fun with that person.

0:38:36.560 --> 0:38:38.680
<v Speaker 1>You do love hanging out with that person. They are

0:38:38.760 --> 0:38:41.600
<v Speaker 1>your comfort, they are the known, there are safety. You've

0:38:41.600 --> 0:38:43.640
<v Speaker 1>been in for five years and you haven't been with

0:38:43.760 --> 0:38:47.120
<v Speaker 1>anybody else. You absolutely can get out of it. Is

0:38:47.160 --> 0:38:50.280
<v Speaker 1>it going to hurt? Yes, every single bone in muscle

0:38:50.280 --> 0:38:52.520
<v Speaker 1>and organ in your body, because it's all you've known

0:38:52.560 --> 0:38:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and change is really hard, especially when you've never been

0:38:56.120 --> 0:38:59.080
<v Speaker 1>on your own. You've only known this one situation and

0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:02.920
<v Speaker 1>this one human when you were leaving a long term relationship.

0:39:03.000 --> 0:39:05.440
<v Speaker 2>It is fucking scary. You're like, what am I? I

0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:07.399
<v Speaker 2>don't know how to do life on my own? Where

0:39:07.400 --> 0:39:07.919
<v Speaker 2>do I live?

0:39:08.200 --> 0:39:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Who is my support? Who do I bounce my ideas off?

0:39:10.480 --> 0:39:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Who do I crawl into bed at night? Who do

0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I cry to? Like this is a really big thing,

0:39:15.440 --> 0:39:18.759
<v Speaker 1>but what is bigger is living the next sixty or

0:39:18.840 --> 0:39:22.680
<v Speaker 1>seventy years with someone that you never really saw yourself

0:39:22.680 --> 0:39:25.439
<v Speaker 1>with or wanted to be with, knowing that you could

0:39:25.480 --> 0:39:28.000
<v Speaker 1>have changed your path. You could have changed your direction

0:39:28.080 --> 0:39:30.880
<v Speaker 1>at any time, but you were a little bit scared

0:39:31.280 --> 0:39:35.080
<v Speaker 1>put yourself In twenty years time, will you regret not

0:39:35.160 --> 0:39:37.719
<v Speaker 1>taking the bull by the horns, ripping the bandaid off

0:39:37.719 --> 0:39:39.759
<v Speaker 1>and going after what you really want? If you think

0:39:39.800 --> 0:39:42.719
<v Speaker 1>that you will regret it, then that's your answer. You

0:39:42.760 --> 0:39:44.839
<v Speaker 1>probably need to end the relationship with the person that

0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:47.160
<v Speaker 1>you're not actually in love with and go and live

0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:49.440
<v Speaker 1>your life. You're only twenty seven years old. You were

0:39:49.520 --> 0:39:52.880
<v Speaker 1>so young, and I'm so passionate about that. If you

0:39:52.880 --> 0:39:54.880
<v Speaker 1>think in twenty years you were going to be ecstatic

0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and through the roof and so in love, then don't

0:39:57.120 --> 0:39:59.680
<v Speaker 1>end it. But from everything you've said, I think you

0:39:59.800 --> 0:40:01.520
<v Speaker 1>all I already know the answer. You don't want the

0:40:01.560 --> 0:40:03.919
<v Speaker 1>same things in the future. You're not in love with him,

0:40:03.960 --> 0:40:06.520
<v Speaker 1>You've never felt like he was right for you. You've

0:40:06.520 --> 0:40:09.200
<v Speaker 1>literally said like you're scared that you're just coasting through

0:40:09.239 --> 0:40:11.319
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden you're gonna get married. You're

0:40:11.360 --> 0:40:13.520
<v Speaker 1>in control of your life. You were in control of

0:40:13.600 --> 0:40:17.080
<v Speaker 1>the path that you take. You know the answer, and

0:40:17.160 --> 0:40:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I think you're just wanting someone else to support you

0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:21.880
<v Speaker 1>through it. So that is what we're here for. And

0:40:21.960 --> 0:40:23.680
<v Speaker 1>if you want to do that, know that it is

0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:25.839
<v Speaker 1>going to be scary and hard and hurtful, but it's

0:40:26.000 --> 0:40:27.000
<v Speaker 1>probably the right thing.

0:40:27.480 --> 0:40:29.440
<v Speaker 2>That was a spiel. I'm sorry. I was very passionate

0:40:29.440 --> 0:40:29.839
<v Speaker 2>about that.

0:40:30.000 --> 0:40:30.920
<v Speaker 4>I did feel like I was.

0:40:30.880 --> 0:40:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Kind of in like a relationship coach seminar.

0:40:33.080 --> 0:40:34.840
<v Speaker 4>Then it was quite nice.

0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:37.760
<v Speaker 3>But I think also you need to remember how much

0:40:38.080 --> 0:40:40.799
<v Speaker 3>you grow as a human being in the years in

0:40:40.840 --> 0:40:44.280
<v Speaker 3>particular that she's talking about she's twenty seven. Think about

0:40:44.280 --> 0:40:46.759
<v Speaker 3>how much you changed as a person from twenty two

0:40:46.920 --> 0:40:50.080
<v Speaker 3>to twenty seven, Like, it doesn't surprise me that you

0:40:50.200 --> 0:40:51.840
<v Speaker 3>have different core values.

0:40:51.880 --> 0:40:57.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it wasn't just my eyebrowser, there was a big change. No,

0:40:57.800 --> 0:40:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I was a different person.

0:40:58.800 --> 0:41:00.719
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't just the fact that I'm move to three

0:41:00.800 --> 0:41:04.319
<v Speaker 3>day hangovers. During the last five years. Used to about

0:41:04.320 --> 0:41:06.480
<v Speaker 3>a bounce back like a spring chicken, but your core

0:41:06.560 --> 0:41:09.880
<v Speaker 3>values change, Like you develop so much in those five years,

0:41:10.000 --> 0:41:12.520
<v Speaker 3>I think, probably more so than many other periods of

0:41:12.560 --> 0:41:15.320
<v Speaker 3>five years in your life. Like that's a real monumental

0:41:15.960 --> 0:41:18.799
<v Speaker 3>time in your adulthood. It doesn't surprise me that you've

0:41:18.880 --> 0:41:20.920
<v Speaker 3>changed as a person and that no longer do you

0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:24.400
<v Speaker 3>and your partner's things align. And yet it's gonna be hard.

0:41:24.480 --> 0:41:26.360
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna be hard for like a couple of weeks,

0:41:26.560 --> 0:41:29.680
<v Speaker 3>and there'll be days where you go, oh, my gosh,

0:41:29.760 --> 0:41:33.120
<v Speaker 3>like something tiny has just happened in my life. This

0:41:33.160 --> 0:41:35.560
<v Speaker 3>person at work has been annoying. And in this situation,

0:41:35.640 --> 0:41:37.839
<v Speaker 3>I would usually text my partner and let them know.

0:41:38.280 --> 0:41:40.840
<v Speaker 3>There's gonna be situations where you go to Christmas and

0:41:40.880 --> 0:41:44.840
<v Speaker 3>you're like, ah, now I don't go to that family

0:41:44.920 --> 0:41:48.839
<v Speaker 3>home anymore. There's gonna be a lot of different situations.

0:41:49.200 --> 0:41:51.839
<v Speaker 3>But it's better to kind of, like brit said, rip

0:41:51.880 --> 0:41:54.960
<v Speaker 3>the band aid and suffer a little bit now and

0:41:55.040 --> 0:41:58.720
<v Speaker 3>have those awkward, kind of lonely times now and find

0:41:58.800 --> 0:42:01.400
<v Speaker 3>someone that does have the same care values as you

0:42:01.480 --> 0:42:03.279
<v Speaker 3>and that you are going to be in love with

0:42:03.360 --> 0:42:05.200
<v Speaker 3>and you want to raise your kids in the same way.

0:42:05.360 --> 0:42:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it's one of these things where you sort

0:42:07.800 --> 0:42:11.279
<v Speaker 1>of don't know at the time, but one day you'll

0:42:11.320 --> 0:42:13.560
<v Speaker 1>be in a new relationship and you'll be head over

0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:16.080
<v Speaker 1>heels in love and you'll want the same things and

0:42:16.120 --> 0:42:18.680
<v Speaker 1>you'll be planning your future, and then it will make

0:42:18.760 --> 0:42:21.839
<v Speaker 1>you realize that what you were going through and what

0:42:21.920 --> 0:42:24.319
<v Speaker 1>you had with your first partner was a beautiful thing

0:42:24.360 --> 0:42:26.480
<v Speaker 1>and it was right for the time. But you'll realize

0:42:26.520 --> 0:42:29.799
<v Speaker 1>why it didn't work once you've really felt what it

0:42:29.840 --> 0:42:32.360
<v Speaker 1>is you're looking for. That's a really beautiful thing, and

0:42:32.400 --> 0:42:34.520
<v Speaker 1>that will help you to see, oh, that wasn't right

0:42:34.640 --> 0:42:36.760
<v Speaker 1>at that time, and it will make you feel comfort.

0:42:36.800 --> 0:42:39.879
<v Speaker 1>You'll have comfort in your decision, but until you sort

0:42:39.920 --> 0:42:41.279
<v Speaker 1>of get to the point where you move on a

0:42:41.320 --> 0:42:44.200
<v Speaker 1>little bit, you're going to question your decision one hundred percent.

0:42:44.280 --> 0:42:45.960
<v Speaker 1>You will wonder if it was the right thing. You're

0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:48.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna miss your partner. It's going to be super tough.

0:42:48.800 --> 0:42:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna lie to you. It's so hard to

0:42:50.680 --> 0:42:51.160
<v Speaker 1>leave one of.

0:42:51.080 --> 0:42:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Those situations and one of those relationships.

0:42:53.200 --> 0:42:55.080
<v Speaker 1>What I can advise you to do is just read

0:42:55.160 --> 0:42:57.600
<v Speaker 1>through the question that you just wrote to us. Read

0:42:57.640 --> 0:43:00.160
<v Speaker 1>through it a few times and read it is see

0:43:00.160 --> 0:43:01.880
<v Speaker 1>if it wasn't you read it as if that was

0:43:01.920 --> 0:43:05.120
<v Speaker 1>your friend writing that question into you, and what advice

0:43:05.160 --> 0:43:07.839
<v Speaker 1>you'd give to it, Because I think once you take

0:43:07.920 --> 0:43:09.520
<v Speaker 1>yourself away from it and look at it from an

0:43:09.520 --> 0:43:12.040
<v Speaker 1>outside perspective, you'll be like, wow, like.

0:43:12.120 --> 0:43:13.879
<v Speaker 2>Why am I in this relationship? Still?

0:43:14.000 --> 0:43:19.080
<v Speaker 3>Also silver lining hot girl Summer is coming the world.

0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:20.600
<v Speaker 3>We are weeks.

0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:23.440
<v Speaker 4>Away from living life again and I can't wait.

0:43:23.880 --> 0:43:25.920
<v Speaker 3>And you know what, that's probably going to be the

0:43:25.920 --> 0:43:29.600
<v Speaker 3>best time within the whole last two years to be single,

0:43:29.680 --> 0:43:32.120
<v Speaker 3>because every single person is just going to be like

0:43:32.160 --> 0:43:35.680
<v Speaker 3>a beast being unleashed, and you'll be living your best

0:43:35.719 --> 0:43:38.560
<v Speaker 3>life and most likely hooking up with quite a few people.

0:43:39.200 --> 0:43:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, damn straight. But I don't want you guys to

0:43:41.200 --> 0:43:43.799
<v Speaker 2>think we're like, oh, just leave, because I would never.

0:43:43.680 --> 0:43:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Tell anyone to leave a situation that they were like,

0:43:45.760 --> 0:43:47.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, I love him, I'm in love with him

0:43:47.640 --> 0:43:50.360
<v Speaker 1>so much like we would never But you've literally just

0:43:50.360 --> 0:43:52.000
<v Speaker 1>stated that you're not in love. You knew he was

0:43:52.000 --> 0:43:54.280
<v Speaker 1>never the one that you want different things, you don't

0:43:54.360 --> 0:43:56.200
<v Speaker 1>like the same things, Your future looks different.

0:43:56.640 --> 0:43:57.920
<v Speaker 2>You're just scared of being single.

0:43:58.280 --> 0:43:59.799
<v Speaker 1>That's the reason I'm telling you I think that it's

0:44:00.320 --> 0:44:02.680
<v Speaker 1>it's not because I don't want I'm not. I'm really

0:44:02.719 --> 0:44:04.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, I love love, I want relationships to work.

0:44:04.800 --> 0:44:06.719
<v Speaker 1>But I'm also here to help you, guys. I'm here

0:44:06.719 --> 0:44:08.640
<v Speaker 1>to give you my advice. And once I read that,

0:44:08.680 --> 0:44:11.239
<v Speaker 1>my advice is that you absolutely need to leave. And

0:44:11.239 --> 0:44:12.880
<v Speaker 1>my last thing that I want to say is, do

0:44:13.160 --> 0:44:15.400
<v Speaker 1>not be scared to be single. It's hard for like

0:44:15.480 --> 0:44:17.120
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks, and then you're gonna be like.

0:44:17.160 --> 0:44:18.879
<v Speaker 2>I fucking love this.

0:44:19.200 --> 0:44:22.120
<v Speaker 1>There are so many amazing things to being single, and

0:44:22.160 --> 0:44:24.440
<v Speaker 1>it's not gonna be forever, so just take it as

0:44:24.480 --> 0:44:27.040
<v Speaker 1>a piece of time and really try and enjoy the moment.

0:44:27.360 --> 0:44:31.160
<v Speaker 1>And that is my advice today from asking a part

0:44:31.200 --> 0:44:34.000
<v Speaker 1>that was a big one. Wow, I felt really passionate today.

0:44:34.320 --> 0:44:34.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:44:34.719 --> 0:44:37.279
<v Speaker 3>We have dived into some pretty deep things today and

0:44:37.320 --> 0:44:39.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm just gonna say that, I mean, yeah, being single

0:44:39.200 --> 0:44:42.640
<v Speaker 3>is sometimes great, but sometimes sometimes you're gonna be getting

0:44:42.680 --> 0:44:45.840
<v Speaker 3>set up on friend dates by your friends.

0:44:46.160 --> 0:44:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Guys.

0:44:46.560 --> 0:44:48.920
<v Speaker 1>You could end up like Keisha, you could be on

0:44:48.960 --> 0:44:51.680
<v Speaker 1>a date every second day with a friend. Kesha, thanks

0:44:51.680 --> 0:44:54.240
<v Speaker 1>so much for coming on the podcast today. We absolutely

0:44:54.320 --> 0:44:55.160
<v Speaker 1>love having you.

0:44:55.239 --> 0:44:56.560
<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much for having me.

0:44:56.640 --> 0:44:58.840
<v Speaker 3>I absolutely love sitting down and getting to have a

0:44:58.840 --> 0:45:01.200
<v Speaker 3>bit of a yarn with you. I really appreciate it.

0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:04.840
<v Speaker 3>And for anyone that missed last week's episodes, gosh, we

0:45:04.920 --> 0:45:07.719
<v Speaker 3>dropped so many episodes last week. There were five. So

0:45:08.000 --> 0:45:10.160
<v Speaker 3>if you were invested in The Bachelor, or maybe you

0:45:10.200 --> 0:45:12.439
<v Speaker 3>were just more invested in Laura and Matt's.

0:45:12.120 --> 0:45:14.320
<v Speaker 4>Batch recaps, which it appears a lot.

0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:14.959
<v Speaker 2>Of people were.

0:45:15.680 --> 0:45:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Matt and Laura actually sat down with Jay, they sat

0:45:19.239 --> 0:45:22.320
<v Speaker 3>down with Holly, and they also sat down with Brooke.

0:45:22.640 --> 0:45:25.560
<v Speaker 3>So we didn't think at the time that Brooke was

0:45:25.600 --> 0:45:27.640
<v Speaker 3>going to be doing any media, but she ended up

0:45:27.680 --> 0:45:29.360
<v Speaker 3>actually saying that she would like to sit down with

0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:31.839
<v Speaker 3>Matt and Laura, and so those episodes are in your

0:45:31.880 --> 0:45:33.080
<v Speaker 3>podcast libraries.

0:45:33.160 --> 0:45:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Matt and Laura just did such a good job on

0:45:35.239 --> 0:45:37.279
<v Speaker 1>the Batch podcast. If you haven't listened, like there are

0:45:37.320 --> 0:45:39.440
<v Speaker 1>so many amazing episodes. There's a lot of bands. I

0:45:39.440 --> 0:45:41.839
<v Speaker 1>don't know who was coming for the information or who

0:45:41.880 --> 0:45:43.759
<v Speaker 1>was coming just listen to Matt and Laura have it

0:45:43.760 --> 0:45:44.279
<v Speaker 1>out on the.

0:45:44.200 --> 0:45:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Podcast, but they're there. There's a stack of episodes.

0:45:47.640 --> 0:45:49.759
<v Speaker 1>If you want to go back and listen, please keep

0:45:49.800 --> 0:45:52.080
<v Speaker 1>your accidently on filters coming in. You can send them

0:45:52.160 --> 0:45:55.320
<v Speaker 1>into Life on Cut podcast dms, on Instagram, joining the

0:45:55.320 --> 0:45:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Facebook discussion group. There is so much that goes on

0:45:58.040 --> 0:46:02.279
<v Speaker 1>in their questions, funny stories, pictures, updates. It's really Oh

0:46:02.280 --> 0:46:05.200
<v Speaker 1>there's lifel one cup podcast meetups. There are so much

0:46:05.239 --> 0:46:06.880
<v Speaker 1>going on in there. It's a really great space. So

0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:08.400
<v Speaker 1>jump on the Facebook group as well.

0:46:08.680 --> 0:46:11.440
<v Speaker 3>While we're speaking of the Facebook discussion group, the other day,

0:46:11.480 --> 0:46:15.000
<v Speaker 3>someone posted something in there about how everyone feels about

0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:19.080
<v Speaker 3>giving five star reviews, and she basically was saying, I

0:46:19.120 --> 0:46:22.120
<v Speaker 3>think it's kind of unrealistic to expect that all these.

0:46:22.000 --> 0:46:23.880
<v Speaker 4>Businesses want five star reviews.

0:46:23.920 --> 0:46:26.640
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, hellou, just to reminder, if you

0:46:26.719 --> 0:46:29.719
<v Speaker 3>haven't left the podcast a five star review, we would

0:46:29.800 --> 0:46:31.000
<v Speaker 3>really appreciate it.

0:46:31.080 --> 0:46:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Guys, I don't think it's unrealistic.

0:46:33.280 --> 0:46:35.680
<v Speaker 4>Here is that unsolicited? Please?

0:46:35.920 --> 0:46:39.359
<v Speaker 3>It actually genuinely helps get into the ears of some

0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:43.080
<v Speaker 3>people who might enjoy the podcast. So on Apple Podcasts,

0:46:43.080 --> 0:46:45.480
<v Speaker 3>if you leave a review, that would be a fabulous

0:46:45.640 --> 0:46:47.839
<v Speaker 3>We really appreciate it, And tell your mum, tell your dad,
