    Summer Ask Uncut with Britt and Ben!

    Hey Lifers! Today’s special ask uncut comes from our favourite fiances Britt and Ben! First up, they answer a few questions about how it’s been seeing each other again, wedding plans, kids in the future etc!  Then they jump into your questions! MY HUSBAND DOESN’T APPRECIATE MY COOKINGMy husband & I have a 6 month old baby. I’m a stay at home mum and he works full time. I make dinner every night which is always hard cooking with a baby as my husband doesn’t get home until 6.30 when we’re about to eat. Last night I made dinner like usual and in conversation I said do you like it? He responded ‘ahh it’s alright’ but said it in a way that he wasn’t impressed. This offended me as I put a lot of effort in, while juggling our baby. I would’ve been happy with just toast for dinner but I put in the effort just for him. He thinks it’s ok to be honest and that he thought the dinner was just ok. My question is.. if someone makes you something such as dinner.. is it ok to be honest and say you didn’t really like it? Or be appreciative that someone put in the effort and just say it was good! I asked him if he was at our friends house would he say something they made was just ok? He said no but because this is his home he thinks it’s ok to be honest MY FRIEND HASN’T TOLD HER NEW BOYFRIEND THAT SHE CHEATED ON HER EXShould my friend tell her new boyfriend the reason that her and her ex husband split was because she cheated? They’ve been together 6 months and she still hasn’t told him and is doubting she will but I think she’s crazy because he will eventually find out (shit gets around) and I think he will be pissed off that she wasn’t honest with him. I’VE FALLEN FOR HIM BUT HE SAID HE SEES ME LIKE A SISTERI have known this guy for 5 years + and he's been there through breakups, graduation, my mum’s cancer and as of recent my mum’s passing/ funeral! My mum loved him and he promised her he would protect me. He's always so active in my life and helping everywhere possible - since all this has happened I now think I'm falling for him but he says he sees me as nothing but a sister. He's 30, l'm 24. Am I just wasting my time or is there something I can do? Also Brit how do I get rid of the feeling as I feel the guy should always pursue you, not the other way around? I KISSED ANOTHER GUY. DO I TELL MY LONG DISTANCE BOYFRIEND?I’ve been with my partner for about 3 years, like Britt and Ben we are long distance with him living overseas. We have a great relationship but I haven't seen him for 3-4 months. I made a huge mistake and kissed someone recently on a night out. It meant nothing and I immediately regretted it and felt so guilty. I know it will never happen again. I worry if I tell him it will ruin everything and he may break up with me. Knowing I will never do it again and it was a mistake, do I tell him or can I just keep it to myself and pretend it didn't happen? SHOULD I COMMIT TO HIM WHEN HE’S 8 YEARS YOUNGER?So I have been seeing this guy off and on for a year and last night he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend. I’ve been searching for love for years now so this should have made me the happiest girl ever. He’s very into me and has told me and shown me as such. The thing is, he’s 8 years younger than me. I’ve reached an age where I hope my next partner is my last (I want to have kids and time is ticking). I like him and we get along great and have similar goals and values but I guess my question is, how do you know?

    Ask Uncut - Christmas Parties, G Strings and the Mental Load of Hosting Christmas

    Hey lifers!We are coming to you cross continental! Britt is in Romania and has met her brand new niece! We get some updates on how her reunion has been and whether meeting her dream, unicorn niece has shifted the needle on her decision around having a baby herself. Laura confesses to rage baiting us all and she's high on the power. Will her house end up looking like Dr Seuss? Most likely! Vibes for the week: Laura: All in the mind. The design tricks brands use to get you to buyKeeshia: Search Engine - What if ayahuasca made you stop podcasting?Britt: Just Married. The Anthea Bradshaw Mystery Then we jump into your questions! HUSBAND DOESN'T LIKE ME WEARING G STRINGSBeen together 12 years (since I was 17), married with 3 young kids. When I was younger, I never wore g-strings and thought they were uncomfortable. Fast forward to my late 20s, and in the past year I've started wearing them to the gym for comfort and more of a seamless style. My husband does not like this. He thinks I'm disrespecting his boundaries and that I'm not being a good wife because I'm 'parading' myself by wearing that kind of underwear with shorts/leggings running or to gym, while he is working hard to provide for our family. I think the request to control the type of underwear I wear is over the top, and it was a decision I made for my own comfort and not to parade to others. I don't want to disrespect him or his boundaries though. What should I do? SHOULD I BE OFFENDED THAT I WASN’T ASKED TO GO TO THE CHRISTMAS PARTY?My partner works in a professional job and is employed by the government. I’ve met only a few of his colleagues. For their work Christmas party, they were just going out for dinner to a restaurant that is about an hour away from where we actually live (it’s 20 minutes from their workplace). He initially said that he wasn’t sure if he was going to go but his colleague had said that he should. I asked if partners were also invited and his response was ‘yes’. I was a bit taken back because he did not ask me if I wanted to go. When I mentioned this he responded “well you wouldn’t want to go to that surely?” It’s true; it’s not my idea of a good time but I’m feeling upset that I wasn’t actually asked. Is it normal to not ask your partner to go to a Christmas party when there is the option for partners to be included? HUSBAND ISN'T HELPING WITH HOSTING CHRISTMAS FUNCTION Each year, my cousin, her husband and my husband do Christmas dinner. We plan it in January as December is hectic and we plant it a year out. This year my husband and I are hosting. The problem is that my husband has just been invited to a work mate’s bucks party and it falls on the same day as our Christmas tradition night. He has said yes to going to the bucks for bottomless lunch, but here I am having to clean, prepare the food, decorate and get everything sorted all on my own. On top of this, the day before is my husband’s work Christmas function. So I’m fully on my own riding this beast. I’m annoyed that I’ve been lumped with all of the responsibilities. What can I actually do about this? Do I just ‘suck it up’ and try to not allow the dates for next time to clash so much or do I cancel our Christmas dinner?

    Figuring Out Our 30s! Uncut with Bridget Hustwaite

    We’re all aware of the societal pressures and expectations put on us to have achieved certain things by the time we reach certain ages, but what about the questions we ask ourselves when a new decade looms? Whether you have or haven’t ticked off the traditional expectations of buying a house, getting married and starting a family, it seems as though we are all collectively asking ourselves more questions about who we are and what we want to be as we reach our 30s.  Joining the podcast today is Bridget Hustwaite. Bridget is a presenter, an author, a podcaster and a content creator. Going into 30, Bridget looked as though she had it all figured out: she was well established in her career, she was in a 5 year long relationship with aspirations to settle down, she was financially independent and had found purpose in her advocacy for endometriosis. And then shit hit the fan and the expectations of what Bridget thought her future would look like crumbled.  Bridget has a brand new book coming out called “figuring out 30” and chats with us about all of the unexpected lessons we learn when we question who we really are and what we are led to believe we ‘should’ want.  We speak about: The strange internal feelings we can get around milestones Going through a significant break up just before reaching 30  We all fear ‘starting over’. Is this the best it’s going to get?  Family dynamics and estrangement and how it shaped her understanding of herself The way people react when they find out that you aren’t in contact with your own family members vs how common it actually is Maternal desire. Figuring out the kid equation in your 30s How Bridget’s endometriosis affects fertility Can you be a feminist and support marriage?   What modern marriage means What it’s like reentering the dating world in your 30s You can find more from Bridget Hustwaite on instagram  You can pre order Bridget’s new book “Figuring Out 30” here!!

    Some Big Changes Are Coming Next Year! And Unpacking "I Slept With 100 Men In One Day".

    Hey Lifers! It's Laura and Keeshia today for the last Tuesday episode of the year (or maybe ever...)!Britt is over in Romania visiting Ben but she'll be back on Thursday for Ask Uncut. Christmas is really freaking soon and Laura is banking on the local RSL meat raffle to make up for her disorganised state! Laura and the family had a blast at the carols and met her new girl crush Emma Memma. If you’re an iPhone person, do you stick to even or odd numbered iPhones or are you just updating it whenever you feel you need?  We have some big changes coming to next year! We speak through the results of our last survey and how we are mixing things up next year! There's a documentary that is going viral on youtube at the moment titled "I Slept With 100 Men In One Day". It follows Onlyfans star Lily Phillips and the aftermath of Lily's challenge where she is quite distraught after completing the challenge. We speak about the complexity of these types of conversations when so much has been done to shift the narrative of sex work and highlight how platforms like onlyfans can be empowering, when the reality of this situation blurs those lines. We ask: Why is it that this documentary made us feel uncomfortable? Whether the stunts continue to become more and more outrageous to keep attention and subscribers? If the concern for her wellbeing is faux care/ shame dressed up in a different costume?

    Ask Uncut - Racoons or Architects, Boy's Trips, Cutting Ties & Empty Wishing Wells

    Hey lifers!Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your life dilemmas! Are you the partner who packs the dishwasher like a Scandinavian architect or a racoon on meth? The dishwasher is causing some problems in households but maybe we are a bit guilty of weaponised incompetence too!Britt is heading over to Romania tonight and Laura is hosting the Christmas Carols in Surfer's Paradise this weekend! Carols details here Vibes for the week:Britt Storyworth book Keeshia Netflix Our Little Secret Laura Netflix Killer Sally and Jumbled diaries Then we get into your questions! HUSBAND GOES ON LOTS OF BOYS TRIPS AND I'M RESENTFULMy husband is part of a boys punting club where they put in $20 every week and then use the pool of money to go on an annual boys weekend away. He also has an annual interstate golf trip with a different group of dads. Both these trips are expensive and mean that I am left home with our 3 kids under 4. Am I right to feel resentful that he has these boys trips or are my expectations too high that he should give them up during this stage of life? All my friends are mums to young kids/babies so it’s a lot harder to organise a girls trip and I’d feel guilty to leave the kids for a few nights. Also I would rather spend the time and money on a family holiday or a trip with my husband. My dad never had boys trips, is this just the new normal for our generation? PARTNER COMPLAINS ABOUT MY TOILET SKIDDIESBit of a gross one but I’m wondering if I’m in the wrong here my partner constantly complains that I leave skid marks in the toilet. I’m not going out of my way to leave them there but we have a VERY clingy one year old so going to the toilet in itself is a bit of a challenge at the moment, let alone scrubbing the toilet when I’m done. My partner gets genuinely upset about it and has even gone so far as to call me 'an animal' because of it. Again, I’m not going out of my way to do this and when he brings it up (it comes up a lot), my response is, “it’s a fucking toilet”. Like that’s where the shit is meant to go, right?! Is it really that bad if I leave the odd skid mark on the toilet bowl?  BROKEN UP BUT CAN’T CUT TIES AND STILL HANGING OUTMy partner and I split up 3 weeks ago. We dated for 5 1/2 years and had a house, a dog and a cat. It was a mutual breakup and it really came down to wanting different things and a lack of communication. Closer to the end we got quite distant which helped me come to terms with making the decision. After we broke up we started spending time together and talking through things and like we’re dating again. We know we have to cut ties but we’re just enjoying each others company. What do I do? How do I just leave? I’ve moved back with my parents but I’m spending a lot of time at his house now (my old house) I just can’t break ties and he isn’t the one to call it. NO CARD IN WISHING WELL. CAN I BRING THIS UP?We got married about a month ago. Like most weddings we had a wishing well for cards and well wishes. After opening all the cards we noticed there was no card from a couple that attended the wedding (reception and ceremony). Whilst we do not expect a monetary gift we’re a bit taken aback by there not even being a card. It seems somewhat out of character for the couple so we’re wondering if had somehow gone missing. Is there any polite way of bringing this up with the couple or do we just leave it to avoid any awkwardness? I just can not fathom ever attending a wedding and not bringing a card let alone gift.
