Get ready for Nearly Parents, your favourite new podcast. Melissa, are you a doctor. I want to be, but I'm not. I'm not a doctor either, and we're not psychologists,

and we're not experts in anything. In fact, we just chat a lot of shit, so... And we love giving you guys advice, but as we said... We love giving you guys advice. Do not take what we're saying as gospel. If you do feel like you need to speak to somebody, please seek professional help. Hey guys, we are back with another episode. We talk about how I got the Red Miss come over me in pregnancy

and scream the house down to Jamie. I am explaining to safe all about my road trip to France and me and Toby have some serious Dixie moments and we managed to keep our call. You do. And we also have some very good dilemmas and one in particular is a bit of a dilemma about Lou Roll. We love you guys, so hope you enjoyed the episode.

We are back in business. And Melissa is chowing down. Just having some hamleth mango. Let me tell you, not as good as the Prat Mango. Oh, the Prat Mango is a need. The Prat Mango with that slice of lime. No, no, no. But you are not having, what is it called?

It's not tapioca. It's like that spicy, like, sweet, spicy thing that you sprinkle over watermelon and mango. Tahin. Tahin. Another hurt. It's a pregnancy thing that I got. So it's basically like this red spice and it's like a bit sugary, a bit salty, a bit

It's a bit spicy. Can I buy this? Yeah. And you just cut up. I do it over all my melon. I know you're not a big melon eater. But also mango, it is elite. Oh, I'm going to get it immediately.

I bet it looks really impressive as well. Like if you're serving that as a dessert. You know what it is. You know a spicy margarita. The thing on the rim. That's Tahin. Very salty. It is a bit salty.

It's also very sweet. No, that will be mixed with spicy mouth with salt. It's like kind of sweet. It's just so delicious. You can watch. I've had a match in months. I had one yesterday, and I've not had one, like, for my entire pregnancy, basically, since, like, for months. And I was, like, hit the spot.

Fuck, it's good. You know why? Why? Because if I'm coming in, and I'm like, Matching, and you're like, no, then I'm like, oh, seems to get one. But if you say yes, then I'll be like, okay, right. I know, I've really, I really went off them. Like, the idea of it was just not serving me. This is gorgeous.

But that's, like, so nice. Okay, can I just talk about my nails quickly? Because it's a tragic, tragic affair. So I go in, and I'm like, can I please get, like, I, I, like, I, I, wanted like a French tip but not an obvious French tip. Have you seen these French tips that are done like so pale that you don't even know it's there? Yeah. So I'm doing it and I've got Sophia and Chincey's vlog on. I love their YouTube. It's my favorite YouTube all time. It's like so feel good. They speak chat, chat the whole time. It's like 45 minutes. Sophia is just

so so ethereal and like she talks so lightly and softly and she's like has the cake and she's like and then Chintia. I can't say this girl's name. Wait, are you talking about? Because I watched... Girls Bathroom Girls. Yes. I watched the one about her getting engaged and sped forward to her talking about it

when she was eating the cake. I mean, Melissa, I've watched them all. Oh. Their YouTube. This is my, since being pregnant. So what actually happened was, I went to Dubai with my friend Bella. She has an OG fan.

She loves them. She literally watched all their YouTube on her TV since day dot. When I went over there the other day, it was on the TV. She loves them. She loves them. like Sophie they are it's the best YouTube out there so I was like in her when in Rome so I put it on I was like actually you have a little bit of the black from that in your arm and I just don't want the camera to pick up and look like you've got black hair you're off guys I was just

being a good friend just calling out so anyway um what was my point oh I was watching their YouTube and they have like this like stand that you can put your phone on so I'm like this and And then I don't know why I could fill her spray painting my nails, but no part of me registered. And then I looked at them and went, why do I have an umbrella nails? That's quite attractive. I like it. I didn't like it when it was a thing. It looks really nice. And I really don't like it now.

But that's like a really subtle French. Okay. I'm actually, it has grown on me, but I, for the whole day, was like, I almost didn't even notice that it's that's what it is. Let me have a look. That is a really subtle French. You know what? It needs to be less long. It needs to be shorter, but that.

Do you know what I mean? Because that's really nice. Because I was like, right, tomorrow, off I go. I'm going to shave these off and get like a whole other colour. No, leave it. It comes and you're like, as if I'm going to do that. To sit in the nail salon. It's a long old flat.

It's a long old. I actually got mine done at Sochal on the Fillam Road. Really good. Really good Ukrainian manicure it says. Well, I will say, yeah, like the Russian Ukrainian mani vibes. They cut so. much skin off around your nail. I love that. I've already told you

this. I hate it because it comes back harder again. Like, rough. Are you sure? It does, just does. So I'm just tell them no. I need to speak up. No, it does. Every time I've had it done it, like, isn't just harder? And I'm like, what the fuck? So what I need to do is just speak up because I get imposter syndrome and I'm like, no, no, no, they know what they're doing?

I'm just to shut up. And then I leave it. I'm like, why don't I just say something? So I'm going to, but that color is so gorgeous. I get that. Yeah. Yeah, you're now so lovely. I get that imposter syndrome so much. It's like a builder's at my house and they're knocking through a wall. And I'm like, I think, and I'm like, it should be in the next room. But I'm like, no, they know what they're doing.

And then I leave and then they get a test. We've knocked through the wrong role. And I'm like. I know what's from there. It's so true. And it's like, yeah. Even with like my hair sometimes. Oh, yeah.

I used to get it when I like, no, crack in my fringe. I used to get really paranoid about that. Oh, my God. What else is there with that? hair's hard because also your mum or dad would have normally spoken for you if something is going wrong do you know what I mean well this is I sometimes now think like would they have because I'm a mum I'm gonna be a mom and I don't think I would maybe you do when it's for your child

you do you do you definitely do you just become more bullsy I'm more bullsie when Toby's around because I feel like I've got backup but when he's not there I'm like oh my god are you I'm less bullsy because I'm like Jamie will sort it and then I get imposter syndrome I'm like Jamie if this is wrong Jamie or tell them that's wrong and then I think he's not even in the room half the time maybe wouldn't because it was my house I was redoing at the time

so when the builders were doing things wrong it was up to me really annoying dynamic that was actually for me then I had to really just sort of stick up to myself didn't like it I'm having that issue with Disney because like there's a lot of scratching up the walls going on and I'm just watching it happen and I'm like and in my head

they are going to pay for all of it but I just I'm, guys, I've got builders still in my house now. Like, they're all in my house. It is not finished. I, I, I just want to start nesting. Like, I don't, I'm almost like, I know, I know, but you know what else happened. Right. So I've got my new car.

Oh my God, I haven't seen the new car. I only got it on one day, right? And so Jamie obviously doesn't, like, know what a rim is. Like, he just doesn't know that car. The boy can't drive. I got these blacked rims. And I was like, no, I really want to, like, you know, I'm choosing to, like, spend this little bit extra, because I want these black rims.

And off we can drive, drive, drive, park. Sophie. Every rim is destroyed on every four wheels. How did you manage that? But can I tell you what I do? Okay. I then get out of the car and I'm like devastated and I like hate myself. And then I, to make myself feel better, I look at all the other cars parked on the road and I'm like, your rooms are worse than mine, your rooms.

So I'm like, is it just London? I've never rimmed my Oh god Never ever ever I knew you wouldn't have How annoying of me How do you park Without rimming against the curve

Right tell me She's just been off She's just got back Okay she's been road driving to Paris That is one easy way to rim a car Going into the Euro tunnel thing like the Le Shuttle.

In the Mustang Sally. Guys. I don't know why this is funny. She doesn't get the, she's never heard of Mustang Sally. So I was like trying to explain to this over. I was like, oh no, we're going quite an old car and it's manual and stuff. And I showed her photo and I was like, it's an old Mustang. She was like, a Mustang Sally!

And I was like, what? Yeah, you're all with me, right? Thank you, thank you. But I don't think the Mustang is called a Mustang Sally. No, but it's, the song is so famous. I know the song. Mustang Sally! It is so, I only know that one word.

I know, I'm like, give me the next line. Who else sings it? Oh, you're Mustang down. Fuck's sake. Why am I not knowing this song? Is it American? No, your parents. But I've, oh my God, it was Mike and Susan's favorite song

and she's like, Mustang, Sally. What? How do I still not know it? Maybe that's why I know it from. I'm going to go back and have a listen after this and educate myself. I was very disappointed. There was no, like, vintage car features, or are they coming? I'll try and get some.

No, because we spoke about it. I was like, you're going to get some cool pickies in front of the car and then not one. Didn't get one. Oh my God. Are you joking? I was like, I said to Jamie, I was like, when you post I went, and he was like, what? I was like, Melissa's going to post the stick of switch. They were.

Toby posted some more than I did. He did, but I just had this vision that you were going to do like a photo shoot with the car. It was all a bit rushed. Let me talk you through our first night. Go for it. Right. So I'm packing up our car in London to. go to my parents' house in Hampshire to pick up the Mustang, right? Toby's meeting me at my

parents' house from a job, like up north. We're at home. We have supper. We're in bed. It's 10pm and I'm like, we're all ready to go. But we have to get up at 3 a.m. to leave the house at like 3.30 to get to look. Our shuttle was in like 7? You've got to be there an hour before and it's two hours way to get to Dover. A long old slot, right? Getting into bed and I go, I haven't got my driving license. Toby goes, fuck, neither do I. I'm going on fucking driving tour through France. Oh no. Toby's like, I'm going to have

to drive back at it. You are lying to me. So he has to go back to London, which is an hour away. At 10pm. 10pm. Pick them up and he calls me, I'm like sleeping. He calls me, it's like, obviously 11, 15 at this point. And he's like, sorry to wait you up and I said, but your driving licence isn't here. And I was like, oh, it's in my bed. I was like,

Oh my God, I actually've never got so much from the core of my stomach. I need to know his reaction immediately. He's, oh, slips, I knew you'd fucking do that. He's, I knew. Sorry, don't tell me that was his reaction. Yeah, but he had to get his drug license anyway. So it was still, he still would have had to have done the journey, but maybe we wouldn't have bothered.

There's very rare occasions, but I would have really shouts that. You know why he didn't get angry? Because he does this sort of shit all the time. All the time. Honestly, me and him, it's like the blind leading the blind. Like, we're both so ditsy and, like, forget everything. I'm used to having my dad do everything for me. And I think Toby, because he's the younger sibling, like, everyone does everything for him.

So, that was fun. So he gets back at, like, half past midnight. And you can tell he's a bit pissed off because he gets into bed. And it's like, this torch is just on in the room lit up. And he's like, and I'm like, can you turn the fucking torch off? No, you're not. Oh, sorry. Anyway, the next morning we then drive to France have the best time in Paris.

So you get up and he's like cozy. because he's not in a bad mood. Yeah, fine. That's like really, really, really something. You've got yourself a keeper there. Like, I would, Jamie would have made me, I would have heard about that for weeks on end. Like, that would have really done him over.

But Jamie would never, he's just so unlike that. But that's so me. Very ditsy. Love Toby Flour. He makes us feel so much better at ourselves. So then we get to Paris, you go shopping. I buy him, like his birthday present, get some trainers. Get myself some trainers.

I love them. I saw them. I think they're trying to copy the, me new balance shape this is the new shape oh yeah they are you know what I mean with the laces and everything I was like huh yeah and the tan it's really nice very chic thank you so then we did crazy horse and dinner it was so fun or dinner and crazy horse

and then the next morning we're driving out of Paris quite early 7 a.m. hungover I'm driving out of Paris in this manual car it's tough really tough because the clutch is so heavy and I'm like Paris it's like really scary anyway and I'm like oh right I'm trying to vlog right I'm like can you just grab my vlogging camera out of the bag please my handbag my handbag's like that size right it's this handbag small he goes oh it's not in here and i went oh i've obviously left it under the seat crazy horse shit it's seven in the morning we're trying to call crazy horse they don't open till 10

trying to call back soho house where we were staying so that they can call crazy horse to try and see if they've got the camera no one was answering the phone i was like we're gonna have to just drive there so we put it in our maps we're driving to crazy horse which is effectively like the equivalent of like lester square in london right we're going down into the centre of paris and i'm like five minutes away you just double check my camera's not in the bag or sorry slips yeah it's in here honestly what we like so then that happened and i'm like i actually don't have the words i don't have the words right now but honestly it's what i want to know is like are either it's cortisol rising in either of you you are both so laid back it is frightening

See, I am like you, but because I'm with Jamie, he was so stressy. I don't have the privilege to be laid back. So if I had done that with the camera, I'd be panicking. So I'd be like, he's going to panic so much. Then I have to panic because I can't be calm if he's panicking. But that is absolutely hilarious. Give me more things that you do by then. Well, that was all the disasters of the trip.

Can I just say I'm quite shocked at Toby because I thought he was kind of Taipei in the way he has spreadsheets. And he's just, he's so clean. And he's tight-A in some ways like that. You'll write the spreadsheets. And he's a bit more tidy than maybe he's definitely type A. And he's definitely, we figured out that he has, well, he said to me he thinks he's dyspractic. And I'm like, that makes so much sense. The hand-eye coordination is not good.

So the manual car was tough at the start. So is he like that when he catches a wall? He was really bad at sports school. Really bad. Thank God for the runner. And thank God he was a really. really good at running. So he was like first in cross-country and I'm like, that saved you. That is, oh, I just love him more and more. I know. Oh my God, right. So it's his birthday today,

guys. So happy birthday day, David. Happy birthday. Sorry, can I just say he's so sweet? I sent him a message. I go, happy birthday, sweet boy. He goes, thank you. How are you? I'm like, so sweet. Just checking him with the pregnant lady. I was like, it's not about me. On his birthday, you've probably got a million messages. I was like, see, that typo. I have. I have. have to show you this. I've just sent it to save you so she's seen it, guys. About partners is the facilities. There's so many things you can do. If the pool tables taken, you can go and play ping pong or table football. And then if you don't feel like playing any of those, you can go up to a room where you've got just your roommate and your

lovely comfortable bed and your on-seat bathroom. Can I just say, why do both Jamie and him have deeper voices when they were younger? I was like, you sound like Jamie. Yeah, it must be like a private school thing when they were like hello I think it's just before their voice breaks because Toby's didn't last on

on them on. And he was on me in Chelsea when he sounded like that. So let's hope his voice had broken but they all had husky voices.

Like George even Jamie's brother I swear his voice is getting more like it's while they were at school his idea maybe they just all spoke like that I think when they're younger

their voices are changing because I'd way before Jamie's back in the day I tell him all the time I was like it was so sexy he's like well I can't get it back for you and all.

It is nice, the huskiness, isn't it? I will agree. I'm like, it's very cute. It's really lovely. I would have been absolutely gone her in love if I was 14 or whatever. So he was singing, he told me this. He was like when I was singing House song, I can't know what they were singing, but one of the Bentley sisters, they went, I think it was Libbentney,

went, I could hear Toby's lisp through. So, Lippantley. That is so funny. That's so mean. People used to bully him for his lips. No, but nothing's as bad as, um. the fact that I used to do drama and like being I actually did like a guitar club like our school didn't do guitar anyway we had to all sing a song and like perform in church at Christmas time for this guitar thing and on the day she came up to me she said could you just mind could you just like mind the words and I was like imagine 10 years old I was like okay and mom was like will you sing I couldn't hear you I was like no they told me not to I know that's fucked I know I think

I like really, both me and my sister are like insanely toned earth because I hear Georgia sing and I know she's going for it and I, and I know from past, actually like past boyfriends are there like your borderline mask in her and I'm like, well, I don't hear myself that bad. How are you that tone death? Don't know. It's really fascinating. But you know my mum's like really good at singing and my dad's like all right. So I don't know why I'm wrong with us. Oh, you can't have everything. You can't have anything. Right. So then you drive from Paris. So you drive from Paris to France To Lake Amarcy And we had the best time It's like a lake

But it looks like the Mediterranean Sea It's like crystal blue I'm like it It was amazing It was so gorgeous and hot And we just We're kind of just like semi drunk the whole time

It was so fun And like really like also wholesome At the same time Like kind of early nights Like 11pm vibes I feel like this group of friends of yours Are like The perfect amount of drunk but wholesome

Yes. Because it's like, I always see... This is the group of friends that used to be very unholesome. Yes. But now we're very wholesome. It happens. Mm-hmm.

Go off of it, don't you? So that was that. And then on the way back, we stopped in champagne and, oh, this is a terrible thing. But I realized when we were driving back from Champagne to the tunnel, which was yesterday, I was like, shit. We left like a little Lilo vibrator on bed.

No, you didn't. It could be worse. It could be worse. Was it someone's house? And what I thought? No, it was a hotel. Oh my God, I thought you were going to say. It was like, Ali's house and her mum was going to pick up. Oh my God, that would be horrific.

That would be. I actually would prefer that. I swear. My friend Ali's mom's very, like, very, like, she would be down. But the hotel, I'm like, oh no. And they also gave us like a cute little birthday surprise for Toby. And I'm like, no, they're just going to think that we're, oh.

I'm sure those things happen all the time, hopefully. I'm sure they really do happen. The worst thing would be if you fucking went to a hotel. and found one under the bed. They must have to really thoroughly clean hotel rooms because, like, shit, like condoms must get left. I know. All over the place.

Left, right and centre. Mm. Um, okay. So, yeah, that's that. She's had a lovely, lovely time. What happened to your weekend then? I did Pilates for the first time ever with Jamie on Friday. Was Jamie good?

No, he thought it was the hardest thing he's ever done in his whole life. Good. But then he did it again. And I, like, he's just. swanning off to carve doing Pilates with every guy that he's ever dated, I'm just sat at home like a big whale, like waiting for him in my 90. I keep like FaceTiming people and they're like, are you in a 90? I'm like, yeah. I've never had a FaceTime in the 90. I know, but it was obviously, yeah. Also, what was the Zoom call that Bella was on looking at your age at this morning?

They're planning my baby shower. I know. She nominated herself. I know. It's really so sweet. Anyway, so then I did that And then Saturday I was in hospital all day Because I had Braxton Hicks And I don't know whether the Pilates triggered something But like the stomach was like doing all sorts of bits Did you Google that? Is that a thing? Well it's called stretch round ligament stretching

And basically it's like I've just grown massively in like the last two weeks And it's like it feels like The only way to describe it is it feels like I'm a werewolf And that might, I can't explain it enough. I'm like in the bed and I'm like, I literally can feel my ribs expanding and my muscles separating. And it's all a lot. But they said that like sort of like the tight your muscles are.

Like you should not do Pilates before for like a year before you want to get back in because the tithy your stomach muscles are the more painful is. Please don't come from you guys because I could have got that completely wrong with that is what the doctor said to me. And so basically she said that once it's done, the. stretching it'll be painful for like a couple of weeks and then you'll just be stretched and i was like oh does it go back yeah it will i don't know but then someone told me like it doesn't ever properly go back like your body changes forever right but like obviously because then i'm gonna have another kid yeah but then i'm like look at it like whatever i then do look at a lot of people that get their bodies out a lot and i'm like i could not tell you before or after your kid don't get her i know

because i'm oh my god this i can tell you so i am completely psychotic I'm driving this car, not new, but this was like took it to a whole new level. So I'm driving this car and sweet, sweet Jamie, who was like honestly couldn't be better since I've been in general. Like, you know he's just amazing. But like really and truly he has like couldn't ask for a better husband or partner since being pregnant. He's so caring. He puts up so much and all these different things. And we're driving in this car and he just tries to get involved.

He goes, should you just hear how loud the speakers go? And within a second he has ram the speakers up and they're both speakers and they're fucking loud. It blew my eardrums and I was like, what? So then I, I was like, what have you done? And he was like, oh my God, it was like the Red Sea came over for me. Like, he was like, I've never seen you like that ever. And I have seen you angry. I have seen you pissed off.

I've seen you be a bitch. But like that was like, red rage came into, red mist, red mist, red mist. into your eyes. And apparently, I don't remember we were in Richmond. I don't remember the whole journey till we got home. Apparently I just shouted at him the whole time and I was like, what should happen? And he was like, that was like primal instinct. Like, you were just like, what have you done?

Because he did it and I felt the baby kick and I was just in my head. I was like, you've frightened me let alone the baby. Obviously it's fine. Like they're not. Oh my God. You know, it's like not, you know, people DJ, people go to contact. Like, it's fine. Yeah, yeah, but it's probably the shock. It just shot the core out of me and the red red, red, I can see the red mist.

I'm scared of it. Like, I don't want that to ever come back. I can't remember any of it. I'll wait until you have the kid and the kid pisses you off and the rubmiss will be back. Or like if Jamie like holds the baby wrong and then I'm like with the red mist for hip. You really, I really have to learn to not do that. Yeah. Try and show yourself.

Your hormones will be different then too. This is what I hope. Your hormones are just going crazy right now. The hormones are hormoning. I'm so excited. I know you're not ready after all. I am so excited for you to go through this because now I understand it. my react like i i hope you don't forget it because loads of people like have the baby and they

go i can't remember and i'm like oh no i'm gonna make sure i tied my second with your with your first i've already decided my brain so do a leaper give it to me so she's everyone's giving her beef because she's on people aren't giving her beef people are just jealous she's always on holiday how it's so amazing she's amazing her body's amazing her body's Amazing. But can I just say like everyone's always on holiday? Carly Jenner's always on holiday. Kendall Jenner's Haley.

But they're all on holiday. Yeah, that's true. I don't know why people are obsessing of Julie for always being on holiday. I want her boyfriend is fit. Yeah, he is fit. So fit. Who do you? I've never asked you this.

Who's Toby's like celebrity crash? It used to be Milakunis, but I'm not sure who it is now. That's lovely for you. Seine a vibe. Yeah. More about Jamie. Oh, really depressing me. So it was always Camille Moreau.

Oh, yeah. Camilla Moron. And then it went to Kylie Jenner, who he's like, he honestly, like, secretly, like, I don't know. There's just some weird fetish going on with Kylie Jenner. But like, I will give it to him. Yeah, fair enough, I mean, we all have it. Yeah, but it's just so not what I thought. I know.

And now I think he's secretly Noro, Lando Norris is like, because I've had him say to quite a few boys who heard seeing her. And I'm like, are you okay? Because I'm in the between. Yeah, she looks like Sydney. Sweeney. Same by big, big boobies. But I am like, she is literally 18, Jamie, so like, it's a bit weird.

And also quite a big one. Toby loves Haley Biber and loves Emily Rattikowsky. Emrat. He's another one. Oh, yeah, Everett. He also does, like, Sidney Zweeney. I really can't compete with that. I think every man loves Sydney, sweetie.

And I think every man loves, he was the other one you just said. Oh, Mrat. Mrat, yeah, she's sexy. You're not not going to, like. I also will, like, do a leaper. How can I forget? Oh, yeah, he loves Tuma Leeper. I absolutely fucking loves her.

Like, as in we'll just watch her music videos and I'm like, what are you doing? Or like, or he'll like watch her like live concert where she like gets in the chair and does that like bounce, bounce thing with her bum. And I'm like, you. Again, what are you doing? I get that she's like, I love her too.

But like, I'm not okay with you just watching that run away. No, no, I would be like. I'm just watching it on the TikTok. And I'm like, no. Too much. Oh my God, no. I can't bear it. I must like have a little stalker.

Jamie's TikTok and see was algorithm saying I haven't seen in a while Have you heard? No.

We're in Lake Anasy with the boys and they were all like So you put your ID into Porn Hub yet? Apparently you're not

allowed to go on to Porn Hub unless you put your ID in now like a photo of your ID and their sales have dropped by a third or something like that

reviews have dropped by a third because obviously people underage are like fuck I don't want to be caught out like or like they can't get on it that's good

maybe it'll like divert people away from porn I think it will a little bit like the more the older like people I hang out with like the more the men are like I promise you like you should get your friends

off porn like it is so detrimental I'm like I don't really have that conversation with my friends like can you imagine do you watch porn I don't really picture any of my friend's husband's watching porn neither but like I don't know I think if I'm away Toby might put on a bit treat himself I mean Jamie's had nine months

so I'm not stupid you know what I mean yeah it's just you know it's all right every now and then isn't it People will let them have a bit of freedom. One of my girlfriends actually really enjoys porn. I don't know because I actually genuinely am such a porn loser. I just, I generally don't watch it. And the thought of it makes me, like, I get embarrassed. I'm so embarrassed.

I'm so prudent. I used to watch it for educational purposes and I was much younger on, like, how to download and things like that and sort of understand things. I wonder how I'm done. So I don't feel like I'm very good, though. No, that's right. Can't be good at everything. You can't be good at everything.

Hello everyone, we're Jamie and Sophie. You may remember us from Nearlyweds and then Newlyweds. But now, guys, things are about to get even wilder as we take on our biggest adventure yet, becoming parents. Yeah, that's right. Newlyweds is now Nearly Parents. And we're bringing you the same honest, heartwarming takes on our journey to parenthood, I guess. Join us as we find out what it really means to become a family. family while trying not to kill each other.

Get ready for Nearly Parents, your favourite new podcast. Hi, Sophie, Melissa, long-time listener, first-time dilemma submitter. I've been with my boyfriend for three years, we actually went to school together. He was the older guy I never spoke to, but years later at school reunion, yes, they do actually lead to things. I ran into my old rowing coach who mentioned he'd recently spoken to this guy who had just landed a job in New Zealand as a rowing coach. I had recently been saying how New Zealand was my dream and I wanted to coach rowing out there

and suddenly this guy and I started talking, dating, next thing you know, boom, we're packing our bags and moving across the world and moving in together. Fast forward a year and a half and we came back to the UK so I could train as a teacher. But New Zealand was still the dream. after much planning we decided to go back back so he handed and notices packed up our flat booked our flights and then the bomb shell

dropped he ended it shit so you've been with him for three years and like you've been going back and forth and he just ended it just like that he said he wasn't in the right emotional space no signs no real warning this is the same man who printed who pointed at rings in a shop window and asked when we were getting married

I thought we were on the same page maybe even reading the same sentence, but apparently we weren't even in the same book. So here I am, still in the UK, surrounded by lovely people, going to therapy, but my brain is stuck on replay. It's like I'm watching the trailer for a life we planned over and over again. My dilemma for you two is, how do you stop obsessing over a relationship that felt so real? How do you genuinely let go of someone you thought was your forever, especially when forever turned out to be more of a three-year trial period? Any advice, PEPT, talks or metaphors involving suitcases

and emotional baggage would be a greatly appreciated. I'm still trying to move on but my heart hurts still scrolling through New Zealand and the dream we were building together. I can't bear it. I'm so sorry. That's fucking terrifying that. Of three years he just out of nowhere, no warning just ended it. That's really scary.

Well, don't get scary. I feel like these scenes really scary when you hit them. But I know it is scary. Well, I get it because it's like normally you'd have some morning, right? Not always with guys I think that they're really good at like covering shit up Girls are better I see Jamie and I always have this conversation

I'm like if I have like even 5% of the ick Like I'm thinking of like Divorce Breakup Like it's not You know I'd be calling you Like I would speak to my friends about it I wouldn't necessarily say to my long term partner

By their mummy doubts But you would talk like I don't know I'm just like once it comes Whereas I think guys stay with girls, they're quite good at covering it up. Like, they're just a little bit more cowardly. And I think that they can just distance themselves. They just like, they're less like, I don't think guys get icked out as much as girls.

So, like, they could still get with you, they could still shag you. And you're like, they pull away, but guys can just push through that. You're right. Whereas, like, I would be like, I cannot kiss you or have sex with you. Yeah. But I will say from my advice and, like, my experience with, like, friends who have been through things at this. like it does just get better and like you just have to bank on the fact that one day if it's in a year if it's in six months like you will just be like I'm over it I'm free

but in the meantime you just have to really really do things that make you feel better don't wallow don't go out and get drunk and eat a piece of the net so you're going to feel so shit go and have some drinks but get up the next day go on a walk like make yourself feel better call your friends remember what Melissa says put friends on on the TV put friends on in the background desperate house lives on in the background anything over and over again don't put anything that's too heavily romantic, so do not put vampire arrows on because it will make you, like, yearn for him. Oh, yeah.

Just keep things really light. And as Sophie said, time is such a healer, and you will, you will just, like, sort of wake up one day, and it will feel like weights have been lifted off you solely, and you'll wake up and it'll be like, oh, fuck, I don't feel shit anymore. But you almost also, this is maybe. you toxic but need to try and think of the negative things that were in the relationship and remind yourself of them you almost should try and ache yourself out by him and like tell yourself it's obviously wasn't right I mean he must have given more reason so he's not there

emotionally but that's like you can use that and also tell yourself right he never felt those emotions that I felt therefore I don't want to be with something he's not feeling those emotions for me right it's really hard thing to come to terms with but you have to to just keep reminding yourself of those things I think also remember like Jamie always told me that there's like all these different stages of grief and essentially you're grieving him and so your brain like to

protect your like make you feel better like you can't remember any of the bad times you can only remember the good and like so just like tell yourself your brain's like not helping you out like you're probably literally walking whilst a flower shop and I'm thinking oh my god I remember that time you bought me at a rose like it wasn't that great because otherwise you'd still be together

exactly exactly and you were will find somebody, I promise, and it's just so shit. But you know what? Everyone has to get their heartbroken wants. Heartbreak is like the most painful thing, but the good thing about broken heart is it does heal. We love you. Love you so much love. Okay, dilemma too. Hey guys, I'm going into my second year of university in September with my best friend from Thalsier Accommodation. We're very similar. We're honest, we're raw and respectful to each other when it comes to harsh situations. Here is the dilemma. She is massively hung up on her ex. They've been honest. They've been honest. We're on off for two years and are still sleeping with each other.

Whilst this doesn't seem bad, it is when you know he has a long-term girlfriend. No, who my friend is fully aware of, that she continues to see him with no guilt or remorse. Bear in mind, he is a raging narcissist who also gaslights, manipulates and love bombs her. Oh, that would be so shit. I worry that with the months that I have already spent

trying to advise her, she will start to blame me for her own lack of accountability. She's becoming increasingly insecure and disrespectful. She's even started pushing away me and deceiving her family. I struggle to keep friends and don't want to lose the friendship because she can't see sense. I strongly believe that you are a reflection of your friends and don't want to be associated with this type of behavior. What do I do? Help.

I would have to step away from that. Oh, they've sent a picture of us too. Oh my God, your gorgeous pops. My best friends with the black hair on the left. Oh my God, so fun. You are absolutely stunning. Yeah, wow. Wow.

My gosh. I'm real. Right, and I have to just... Listen, you either, you either take the naive way out and you turn a fucking blind eye. You just say to, I don't want to hear it, and I would just pretend that it's not happening. We've done that with a friend before, haven't we?

We're like, we pretended it wasn't happening. And then we just didn't even speak about him. And then we know it's going to end. Like, they're not going to get back together. So like, but then you're either at a risk of like, if you want to coach her, she's going to fall out with you. You're so right. So I would just literally take her.

for the good and not listen or ask, I would never ask about that guy. Never ask. And if she tries to talk about it, it'd be like, let's not talk about it. Or you can just be like so short when she asks you questions or tries to talk to you about it and just be so like dismissive and like blah, say it is if you barely even heard it and go, hmm. So anyway, and then just change a subject. That's what I would do. Yeah. And it will stop eventually because she'll realize that she's pushing people away and using people and then.

If she's got any self-awareness, she'll be like, okay, she's not liking. this conversation like I'm going to stop talking to it like you can get it and like if you just keep doing it like I would just yeah and it's really pissing me off though that she's doing it

knowing that he's got a girlfriend but there's nothing you can do about that and you know you need some mistakes and shit like that anyway and if this guy's a narcissist he really will get caught out hopefully so you could just be really bad

and you could just tell the girlfriend and then someone's got to put The problem is because he's such a narcissist that won't stop your friend from sleeping with him, if anything that will just mean that she's got, like, more full steam ahead now because there's a new girlfriend in the way. Your friend will run tired of, like, being second in command. Is that the right word? Yeah, second best. Being second best to him, because, yeah.

And she will probably get found out. Like, the girlfriend's going to find out. Yeah, at uni, you're going to find out. It's really bad. I would just, personally, what I would do is if it was affecting me, I just have to sign a by die. And you've tried to obviously hold her accountable and do the moral high ground and if she's not listening, then I'll just be like, I just can't even entertain this anymore. Sometimes friendships grow apart then.

You just got to like... That's true. But also, like, you do have to be patient because, like, ultimately your friend is, like, done her in love and she's young. And if he's a narcissist, he will be twisting and confusing her so much. I know, I feel bad for her too. I really do. And also, because you said that you struggled to make friends, you don't really have any friends at university, I don't want you to isolate and have a shit second and third year.

because you are taking the moral high ground. Like, I know it's, like, I know it feels like the biggest and baddest thing in the whole wide world right now and it isn't great, but you are at uni and hopefully, like, if she was doing this at 30, I'd be like, she should really have learned her lesson by now. Yeah. Like, hopefully this is exactly what he said. Lessons are to be learned at university.

I probably should listen to friends in one instance where I was given advice actually on the show to leave the boyfriend that I had, but like he was not an autistic and is actually like such a nice person. Such a sweet guy. really sweet to me so there was no reason for me to have and i don't have any regrets as such but i feel like i probably would have more fun being single at that age being on the show you know yeah you definitely would have but like if i'd be here now so it's things like that i don't know but like you've had a lovely time until like the time was gone you know but like he was such as

he was a very sweet lovely eye but um that is an occasion where i wish i would have maybe just like listened. Yeah. I think ultimately there's so much meddling that you can do in other people's relationships and you've just got to let them like... People won't listen. Like they have to just follow their own gut and heart and learn their own lessons. And that's what life's all about really, isn't it? Hmm. But we love you and sending you so much love and thank you for writing in. Yeah. And don't let it get you frustrated. Just don't. That's very sweet. Love you so much. I live in a flat with three friends. Six months ago, one of the girls moved out to live with her boyfriend and an old family friend who had just

moved to the city was looking for somewhere to live. So she moved in and it all seemed to make perfect sense. Everyone has been super smooth and lovely apart from one thing. Now we've always brought the house supplies as a group and split the costs. That includes things like washing up liquid, dishwash tablets, toilet roll, etc. That makes sense. And this is where the problem arises. I've recently noticed that we've been getting through toilet roll at rapid pace as in over a roll a day. Bear in mind we only work from home maybe once a week and we've often and we're often out in the evening

so previously a roll would last us a few days but now a four pack doesn't even last the whole working week. I'm pretty sure my family friend is a common denominator here but I really don't know how to address it. I don't want to embarrass her but it's starting to be quite expensive to not address it. Oh, my God. Um, that's like really awkward.

I would just... She's, I've got some bowel problems, clearly. Like... Well, maybe she does what Jamie does and he literally uses half a roll to wipe the toilet seat before he sits down. It is such a bizarre OCD tape. Surely not in your own house.

Yeah, he does. It's like the weirdest OCD taking our brand new house that has never... No one's touched me. Yeah, yeah. So we go through literally a roll a day. Shut. I'm not joking. A roll a day.

Because he's twice and it's... It is, and then he put, and then he puts at the bottom. It's such a weird, like, tip. I bet he wipes so much as well. Yeah, the whole role. I literally watch and I'm like, what are you doing? That's why he's got hemorrheds. He's probably wiping too hard.

He wipes for days. God! 10 minutes of solid wiping. I do think that you really can't do anything about this. I think, yeah. Just take the hit on the extra four quid amount of whatever it is. is that you're paying for the lurole? How much is a pack of new roll?

Probably four, it was quite expensive. About four pounds? For a pack of six? Yeah, it's like that. You know what you could do. This is quite a niche of tackling it, but I buy... You don't you keep your own in your room. I was going to say, I buy my own... Sorry, obviously I buy my own lorl.

I buy my lorl from Amazon and I get it from this like organic bamboo, unbleached lura. And it's like more of a brownie shade because it's unbleached. So it's not like the prettiest, but it's better for you, better for the environment. So you could go down the route of, you know what? I've just heard that it's like much healthier to have this loo roll. But like, I'm just going to buy it for myself. It's a bit more expensive. So if you guys don't mind.

Don't touch this one. Can you bring this up? I don't think so. If it's an old family friend and be like, God, and you know what? You should just collectively to the group. Guys, we're getting through so much loo roll. What the fuck's going on?

Who's the cop? Who wipes it? Just kind of make it into a bit of a joke. And then be like, Right. Do you mind buying your own new roll or like paying extra? Because I don't know. I'm also like, is it worth the argument if it's literally four pounds extra? I feel embarrassed. Like I just feel so embarrassed. Like she's just moved in and I'm like, what if she just has goes for four shirts a day? And she has to blue roll more. Like I'm sorry, I would just take the hair. But like I'm, I'm not fussy about things like this. Let's just see how much about things like this. Right. Let's just have a little looky look. Like if someone said to me, you've moved in, you're going through loads of blue roll. I would be like, you fucking cheap skin. maybe you should look at this a little bit and just think maybe I'm a little bit highly strong like you shouldn't really be getting worked up

or even noticing how much lure all your household is going through I think so maybe we need to loosen the reins of it and just let it happen it obviously is causing stress for you but I think in the general scheme of life we just let this one go because it's not worth embarrassing somebody or saying, can you pay me an extra 30 pay a week? Anamosity, yeah.

It's just not. It's just not worth it. And blast her sweetly, she might have IBS. She obviously has IBS, or maybe she's an overwiper. Yeah. You never know. Poor girl's got hemorrhoids. But I get it.

And I'm sure there are so many people who feel the same way. I'm afraid to say I can't relate because I just no part of my road would ever notice how much we was. I would never notice that. Never. But I know loads of people who would. So don't feel like you're not alone. I'm probably the girl who'd use all the Lou Role. But we love to you.

I do use a lot of Lou Role and I'll never forget my keenness saying it to my mum. Melissa gets to do a lot of Lou Role and I was like, I like to be thorough, you know. Me too. Okay, so just to round this out, I think we leave it alone. I think so. Take some deep breaths. If it's really pissing you off, you go down the organic loo roll route and just, you know, keep that for yourself. It's better for your bum hole.

Exactly on the planet. But love you. I'm sorry if we were a bit hard Well I was a bit harsh But I think you know what It's a good lesson to learn Like sometimes we need to let the Taipei Seep out of our bones a little bit

Yeah And you just let that shit go You just let it go Life's too short to worry about Lurall Don't sweat the small things Mm-hmm Okay guys Bye guys
