Hello.
Hi, guys.
I am going to just be real with you because I can't contain this.
My sister's in labour.
She's in labour.
How many hours into labour?
Okay, so I'm going to give you the whole breakdown.
So she was due.
It's Jamie's birthday on Sunday. Let's actually discuss this. Well, it? So she was due. It's Jamie's birthday on Sunday.
Let's actually discuss this.
Well, it was Jamie's birthday yesterday.
It was Jamie's birthday yesterday.
It's now Monday.
It was organized to go up to Scotland to see his granny,
who we know and love if you listen to new ads, in Scotland.
However, why I agreed to that, I have no idea,
considering my sister's due date was on Sunday.
So far in advance, it's difficult to think about things like in my mind I was like well the baby won't come till
Sunday minimum like in my mind she's coming Sunday that's her due date she's coming Sunday
and I was like I'll be back Sunday morning anyway so I'm at the the training station
and I get a text from my sister I'm just gonna because we talk about this stuff her mucus plug
came out I've never heard of the mucus plug before until you told me this the mucus plug
I don't know what it is
but
Barry nearly threw up
and it apparently
looked like cottage cheese
pink
like bloody
cottage cheese
yeah so if you're
throwing up
and he went
oh no
I can just imagine it
George has said
his eyes
literally like
went like Mickey Mouse
they popped out of his face
or like bug sping or something.
And he was like.
And she was like, oh my God.
Surely they were taught about that in antenatal.
I don't think many people, a lot of people get away with not having to see their mucus plug.
Oh, right.
Here you go.
A mucus plug is a thick jelly-like collection of mucus that forms in the cervical canal during pregnancy.
Right.
So when that comes out, baby's coming, basically.
Baby's basically.
It's on its way.
But I guess for some people, that would come out during birth. Right, so when that comes out, baby's coming, basically. Baby's basically on its way. But I guess for some people,
that would come out during birth.
Absolutely.
So it's not even something
people talk about
because, you know,
everything's coming out.
Loads of, exactly.
Got you.
So Edinburgh, on my way back,
train's coming,
boarding, boarding.
I look at Jamie,
tears coming in my eyes.
I thought I was going to throw up.
So I'm like,
I need to stay.
Like, I need to stay.
So off I go with my suitcase.
It has loads of chocolate in it I'm
ready to go for the weekend I'm like I have to say bye Jamie have fun on your birthday in Edinburgh
I can't be there off I go home waiting waiting waiting my mum's landing it's all happening
nothing happens on Sunday I then my sister's like right let's go for lunch and because I
can't just sit around twiddling our thumbs yeah she suddenly is like
I want to go to hospital
she just got nervous
she just felt
yeah
she just got nervous
she was like
you know what
I feel like she's not moving much
you know
she just got nervous
yeah
oh she goes to hospital
four hours later
they induce her
so we're there
for four whole hours
guys the harrowing screams
I heard from these women
giving birth
my eyes
pricked with water
my legs went they gave, they gave way.
They gave way at the chair.
No, I wouldn't believe it.
If there was a chair not beneath me, I would have fainted on the floor.
And I'm there going, and all these women were about to give birth.
Georgia was like, shut the fuck up.
And I also had period pains.
I can't come to you.
Fucking hell.
Georgia's like, you need to leave.
Anyway, she gets induced yesterday at like 3.30 p p.m and she goes into labor straight away
contractions i don't know if that's in labor now she's in labor like she's right now her
contractions have reached 100 because you get monitored she says it's the most painful thing
she's ever done but bearable she's she's soldering is she now being numbed no she's not
got the epidural yeah okay we have to wait until you're a certain amount dilated
before they can do that.
Exactly.
So basically,
she could give birth at any point.
So I've not spoken to her
since 10 a.m. now
because I was psyched
with not having her.
Also, it's like,
no, no, I will tell you
when something's happening.
It's going to be the same.
It can go on for a few days.
They said it could take 72 hours.
Can you imagine?
Fuck.
So anyway,
at this point in time,
I'm just heads all over the place really
but i did see this gorgeous little newborn there was so many newborns in the waiting room i was
just looking at them thinking and all these boss ass bitches mums that's not nice boss ass bitches
all these boss ass bitches they were just so cool like they just give them birth this tiny human
and they're just like holding them so now i was
just like this is so we were saying this like it's so bonkers how a baby and giving birth and being
pregnant is like such a magical special thing but it happens all the time like most women will go
through do it but it's just such a big deal even though it happens all the time and such a miracle
it's so funny it's so weird
and what's also weird is that the guys just don't do it they can't do it it's nothing that was
nothing why on earth are men more powerful in the world like they can't do the thing that recreates
us well i think because maybe because it's seen to be more powerful but i feel like with what we
can do with nature it's definitely
more powerful like you're joking yeah but it's weird it depends it's all about perception
perception of power like back in the day women had no no i'm not gonna go into some feminist chat but
it did make me think like what i listened to these women scream i was like well i guess because we're then
doing that and from back in the day we would then do it and then just want to the instinct is soon
you have to keep your baby alive and feed them so then the bloke would naturally be working from
back in the day that's just how it's developed now it's a different time now it's a different
time but like even from like i want to like maybe back way back in the day like what about in cave men days were women more important then well i guess they would be praised and the men
would be like don't worry you stay here i will go and do everything for you i'll go or did they
have 40 wives and they were all just like i don't know you know what i mean i don't know but anyway
she's ready she had her nails on she had her hair done she's off to the races really oh my god it's
just crazy some of you seen
these videos some girls they go into you know those things that they put on their heads that
it's like the heatless curls and they sleep with them you're gonna die because i just need to show
you exactly what i was just gonna say is she in there with that on her head so many women she
goes night before yeah so they wake up in the morning baby's born for photos they take their
hair out put their concealer on and boom they look like they've had a blow dry that is so funny
I've seen that all over TikTok
I was like
what are you doing
it's a real thing
I've just been sent one
I'm going to try and do it tonight
actually
it's so good
have you tried it before
yeah I have
I have tried it a few times
but it's uncomfortable sleeping
because it's like this great thing
on the side of your head
I just don't think
I'd know how to do it
do you just wrap it around
it's so easy
you literally just wrap your head around
and then tie it up at the top yeah yeah yeah it's so easy I don't know why but I'm really off put by doing it no part of know how to do it do you just wrap it around it's so easy you literally just wrap your head around and then tie it up at the top yeah yeah it's so easy I don't know why but
I'm really off put by doing it I did no part of me because it's like slightly unattractive you
should see the way I like it's a good form of contraception all these like face tape things
all these like hateless curls at night like all these women sometimes like I think these videos
I'm like how is any my friend was like are these girls having sex because it's like their tape their mouths taped up like their eyes you say that but i look so disgusting every night
but they can't even kiss they have their mouth taped like they have like these things i can't
kiss i'm like get the fuck off me i've got all my spot cream on me i'm like if you want to do that
we're not kissing that's the stage i'm at but i do look really i have a really weird problem where
i can't i have all my matching pajamas folded up in my pajama drawer.
You're precious.
But I have to wear them, I'm matching, I literally have to wear the ugliest outfits at bed.
Why?
I can't, I don't know.
I'm still trying to maintain myself for Jamie and for the girls, but mostly for myself, if I'm honest.
Mine's all for myself, but then I do do I guess as a knock on effect
It is then also
For my relationship
Because that's something
That keeps me happy
Obviously
I'm not gonna lie
The reason I'm doing it
Is because all you fuckers
Keep doing it
So I've got to keep up with you
But what are you talking about
Are we talking about like nails
And stuff
Could we all just like
Fair game
Like no one will do anything
And then I'll stop
We don't do that much
I never get my hair done
I never style my hair
I hardly ever wear makeup
unless i'm doing the podcast or i'm going out for dinner or something i get a lot of facials
well i don't actually but that's for relaxation purposes like i don't even get any facials i don't
know what i'm talking about i could really do with getting some more but what i do do are like
polynex i'd rather stop and i go once a month for a lovely facial and i I savor those two hours when I'm in that facial room I fucking I sleep
I really switch off I absolutely love it I mean and I come out of there looking quite heinous
because I'm red from my cutely so that's actually nothing to do with my partner thinking that I'm
more of a massage girl if I want to really really indulge that's my way of doing it I find it really
hard to relax sometimes with massages oh I think it's because i put so much pressure on myself to relax yeah and i'm like just chill
out just chill out just chill out and also when it's hurting my muscles i'm like and then i can't
relax yeah yeah yeah you've got to get in the habit of doing a massage i mean there have been
times when i've done once a week yeah and it really really does things to you let me tell you i have
had really weird mass have i told the listeners about that time that there was a guy who came
around on the screen that was the weirdest thing ever and then the guy with the sweat that was also
oh the dripping sweat on you that's disgusting basically just the listeners who are new i once
had a massage and um a man came in he didn't have a bed he laid me on my bed and he got out a wooden spoon and started
massaging my feet with a wooden spoon and my legs with a wooden spoon tap tap tap mush mush
did he say like explain like this is no no no as he walked in i thought
and jamie thought hmm is this actually legit? Nothing was giving
I am a masseuse.
Not that you can judge
a book by its cover
but it was all odd
from the offset
is what I'm going to say.
I knew someone was
putting a practical joke on you.
I will say I just had
a face gym before
I came here today.
That was lovely.
And my boyfriend's
not in the country right now
so it's nothing for him.
Should we talk about that?
How are we dealing
with our toes being here?
You know what?
You get used to it after a week and i'm going away tomorrow which is lovely
that'll distract but two weeks is quite a long time i don't know how people do long
two weeks is a really long time the first week you know what the first two days are actual bliss
and the third day you're like fourth day you're kind of used to it five day six days it's like
you're used to it but you really miss them at the same time.
Weekends are tough, I think.
The sea fin just gone was really easy because I was so busy.
What did you do on Sunday?
I went to Richmond Park with my friends and we had a long walk.
And then I had a lovely brunch.
And then I had my nails done.
It was a really nice Sunday.
Really nice Sunday.
Look, I won't lie.
Sundays, I like to spend
on my own really no i don't i like to be with people all the time i love to use sunday as a
day exactly how you did like nails i mean obviously bias but when i say by my own i mean jb can come
too but i like me basically it's like a doing day i like to get my nails yeah there's bits and bobs
to get done saturday i don't like being alone. No, no, no, no, no.
Oh, it's also like this thing of like,
if other people are doing things on a Saturday
and I'm not, I just get such a bit.
Oh my God, I get none.
I'm literally like joy.
Well, I will say, just going back to this whole
like keeping yourself maintained
for your relationship pressure or whatever.
And some people like let themselves go massively,
I guess, in a sense, or they relax.
Do they really though?
Some people do.
I think like years down the line they're
not like married in year two of marriage I don't know some people I think the man just gives up
like trying to look good doesn't want to go to the gym anymore whatever sometimes that happens
to the girl too and I think I think maintaining magic is maybe the wrong word but like attraction
and blah blah blah, blah.
It's really hard when you're in a long-term relationship
because, like, naturally it's not going to fucking be the same
as it was at the start.
So you have to put effort into, like,
take care of your relationship and yourself, I believe.
I totally agree.
And they do too.
I don't think it's something we can go,
oh, we're in now, they love me,
I'm just going to, you know, sit on the sofa all day.
I don't know, whatever.
I try that so unattractively.
Like, that's not the guy I married.
I didn't know you to just sit on a sofa like's like a slob and not shave your face totally agree I'm like oh I know and it's such a double standard because I do
feel like as a woman you'd be like they should love me even when I'm at my worst which I do
agree with but then I'm also like if you can love someone but not be attracted yeah if the man then
gets to a really weird place that I've never seen before and it's like staying like that for a really long time and I'm like,
hang on a minute, this is like not what I sign up for.
I'm probably going to consider like popping off.
Do you know what I mean?
So it's a bit of a double standard.
But if like a man was saying that to me about his wife,
I'd be like, you're a fucking arsehole.
It's just so, it's really strange.
It's an interesting topic.
I think,
look,
they don't have to look a certain way
like as women get older,
like our metabolisms change
or we get grey hair.
Oh, within reason, right?
But you just have to try
and take care of yourself
as the epitome of the,
like,
I don't want a guy
who is just not going to
shave his head or clean
or like,
do his nails.
Make an effort with me.
Like,
you know,
I want them to like,
scrub up nicely.
Quite early on, Jamie had, not that he does anything not to take care of himself he takes great care
of himself but you know just habits like he broke the fourth wall in the sense that he was putting
the door open i was like this is way too much no no no no no yeah and he still does but i do think
some boys and girls make that mistake and think it's fine because they're comfortable and i get
that that is okay for some people it's not okay for me it's not okay for me don't fucking do it in front of me I will
never do it in front of you I like to keep a little bit of mystery I've never once done it
he thinks I don't know ever yeah I don't think I have intentionally in front of Jamie either
well obviously I haven't like maybe in my sleep right listen but he that doesn't get like I'm
not repulsed by it I've got used to that so if he does that and i'm in bed and asleep and i can see he's gone to the loo our doors are like really heavy slide door you have
to push them in yeah they're really fucking annoying it's not it's not as easy as just
closing a door like i pee with the door open the entire time god forbid i would i don't even i
can't even pee if he's outside the room oh my god neither i still like the taps going on newlyweds
listen to like we hear a whole different story.
Oh, I know, I know, I know.
But listen, there are certain things.
So like, I hate, I cannot bear a boy picking,
you know, I've got a thing about nails and feet,
hands and feet.
I, if I see a boy like picking his toenail,
like just sat.
Toby does that.
I, so Jamie.
It really upsets me.
And I've been like, why?
I would never do that in front of you
you know i don't find you attractive when you're doing that stuff i literally have to say to you
i'm really sorry that's like an out like you can poo with the door that to me is disgusting like
i won't allow that in my house and i'm like i don't want my children to like copy see their
dad i don't know it's fucking foul i know it's fucking foul it's so wrong so anyway that's like
a real off thing for me what other things does he do
that's kind of the only off thing and then recently I realized that he doesn't shower um
before getting into my bed after not after a day yeah and I'm like oh my god I'm horrified I never
knew that because we we have different showers we don't share the same shower room so when I hear
him like washing his face when he's come home, I think he's showering
because then he gets into
not in his like
vape mode.
He gets into his like comfy.
But he's not showered his body
and I find that hideous
because then we're going
to have sex
if we do.
This is their nighttime routine.
my clean sheets
are filthy with talk.
I know, that's disgusting.
I,
my priority is showering
before bed.
Even if I've showered
in the morning,
I'm showering before bed.
Or the bidet gets used. Toby loves the bidet. I know we're going to get one in the new house Even if I've showered in the morning, I'm showering before bed. Or the bidet gets used.
Toby loves the bidet.
If he's showered post-gym,
and he's like,
you know what,
I showered at like 11am.
I don't need to have another shower.
I've just been working from home editing.
Fine, nothing dirty's happening.
That's fine.
But he will use the bidet.
No, listen, it's not.
Is it the bidet or bidet?
I don't know.
But if you're sitting at home,
I'm fine with it.
But if you're out and about in the'm fine with it but if you're out
and about in the
London smug
what's it called
the smug
it's found
the bed sheets
are filthy
and he's on that
moped getting all
that dirt in him
I know
so that was another
thing I said
no no
we have to stop
that because our
marriage will break
it will break up
it's good to like
draw the line
of like you know
what you're okay
with and what you're
not because like
they can't just
carry on doing
anything in front of us
I'm like
I maintain a certain level
I'm not there
picking my toenails
I never would be
you know what
sometimes
his farting's got
quite bad
no he's gonna hate it
he's gonna hate it
it's got really
quite bad
as in to the point
where he'll like
do it
and then
I'll be upstairs and I go heard that and he's like do it and then I'll be upstairs
and I go
heard that
and he's like
how
and like
it's really loud
and like
sometimes
it's really
fucking stinks
okay
we're in bed
and he goes
he calls himself
windy Newton
if he's in a fight
and he goes
he gets ready
and he goes
oh Newton
and I'm like
oh
and then
the air purifier
the air purifier goes it goes and like turns
itself on because it can obviously get the sulfur or whatever the acid smell is and it goes on
crazy oh my god I hear that I know what you mean the air purifier yeah it turns itself on really
loud because it can it can get that it's getting like the what is it like the toxins from his
fucking poo the poo
particles out huge particles and i was like oh god you're gonna give me pink eye and so that's
become a recent problem where i'm like i'm obviously that's not a deal breaker but i'm like
please stop but then he's like if i hold it in like then i've got a really bad tummy ache and
i'm like oh my god why is he so gassy we need to work that out because i give him loads of
cruciferous veg but i don't doesn't make me guess yeah but you don't get gassy over anything your
stomach's weird your stomach just is really like it doesn't make me gassy. Yeah, but you don't get gassy over anything. Your stomach's weird.
Your stomach just is really...
I'm like, is that because I've got good gut health?
Yeah, but most people do.
Or maybe you have no intolerances.
I don't think you have any intolerances.
Yeah, maybe.
But yeah, it will just be because you've got a good gut.
But he will just be suffering.
It's when I give him cauliflower, loads of broccoli, bean sprouts.
He goes...
He's in pain.
He goes, oh... He goes, he eats. He's in pain.
He goes, oh.
He goes, this is going to make me.
And I'm like, oh, great.
I can't bear it. I don't mind one bit.
If it smiles, it really does things to me.
I actually really find it upsetting.
It's so upsetting.
Because I feel like I'm then breathing in poo.
Exactly.
I'm like, this is not nice now.
This has got to go.
Hey, gorgeous girls I need help
I'm in love with my
best friend of 10 years
no way
10 years
fuck
a few years ago
we had a drunken night
together but it didn't
go as any further
as I didn't want to
ruin the friendship
he was really hurt
by this as he always
had a thing for me
and wanted to make
a go of things
hold on
drunken thing
do we think they slept with each other yeah okay night a whole night yeah that's
a shock here's the dilemma i'm 32 and i recently had my first baby i got pregnant quickly having
only been with my partner for four months i never really felt he was the one as we're very different
people oh my god however i do feel that everything happens for a reason just before my son was born
i lost my mom and through the most difficult time of my life my beautiful boy has kept me going
i find that my best friend is there for me in the ways my partner isn't so she's still with
her partner right he just gets me we have the same banter and he's so unsounding i think there's
always been suppressed feelings and that i've tried to ignore the thing is my best friend is
also in a relationship and has a two-year-old child. We are both unhappy in our relationship and we've
recently become a lot closer. We admitted that we have feelings and we could see each other
together and even joke that we could get married if we're both still single at 40.
However, I don't know how to navigate what to do next. I know I'm not happy but I feel so guilty
splitting up with the father of my child. Do you think i'm being hasty and i should try and make things work with him or shall i
follow my heart and explore things with my best friend that's really hard you're being like this
sounds like a movie i'm worried that the connection with your current partner isn't great and that's
made you then fancy your yeah it's not actually about the friend he had the opportunity with
your friend before when you said no and like you the friend. He had the opportunity with your friend before
and you said no.
And like, you know, you've had sex with someone.
Oh yeah, also as a girl,
you have sex with someone you fall in love.
So like, I know not everyone's the same,
but like most of us have that.
Like, so the fact that you really didn't.
Yeah, to some extent you do.
Like you're more likely to.
If you were going to fall in love with them,
it would have happened then. Do you know what I i mean especially if you then hang out all the time
like it would have happened again like you would have had sex again yeah that worries me i think
that you're not happy with your current partner and your best friend you obviously love in some
capacity because you love your friends but i don't know i don't know if you're in love it's romantic
but i guess when you're at this stage of life, you're thinking more about like,
oh my God, like you're my life,
like you're my soulmate in a sense.
And like you get me and like,
we laugh together and blah, blah, blah.
But does she want to have sex with him?
Is she looking?
You need to ask yourself all these questions.
It's not as simple as like,
oh, you know, we have a laugh together
and he gets me better than my current partner.
I definitely think that, you know,
if you're not happy with your current partner, you and him shouldn't be together and there's
nothing worse than a child being brought up in a like obviously try and make it work but it sounds
like you've never loved him or been into him and you know that these things happen and I think
better to be happy than being in an unhappy relationship and the child picks up on that
sort of thing agree but I understand working for it because you want to keep your family together.
So I understand all of it.
It's really difficult.
It throws like such a spanner
when there's a child in the mix
because you just can't be that selfish anymore.
If the child wasn't in the mix,
I'd be like...
You wouldn't be with your current partner anyway.
Let's just say that as well.
Like, you know,
I'm guessing that's the reason
why you guys have just stuck it out and you're still still together I think we have to take things back to basics I think you need to
yeah the best the thing that going on with the restaurant I don't think that's actually something
for you to follow your heart with you haven't once said like it's made me realize how much I'm
truly in love with him like I really want to leave my partner it's like none of you're just like yeah
we have a laugh it's not enough to break up his relationship with his partner and like they've got a child
together too I would explore the thought of being single and finding like your true soulmate that
you think you're going to be happy with me too that's the route that I would go down if I was you
but it's hard when someone's like so
how when they're like in front of you and you're like because I don't know that there's we have
this weird thing about loneliness like some girls like won't leave someone unless they know that
there's someone else there for them because it's like the fear of being alone I totally
get that like I feel like we all have that to a certain degree but you can't make it be the reason
that you stay also it's not really
fair on your partner
you know
it's not fair
and it's not fair
on anyone to do that
also we really don't
want to break up
this other situation
with this other relationship
but they're not happy either
but like they've just
had a new baby
I think marriages
or relationships
go through hard times
and you've got
this new little baby
you're both not sleeping
you're both not making
time for each other
like relationships
are really hard
particularly in these
early stages of childhood i think it's really difficult
sophie's got no advice this one she just goes she's just playing with her she's going
fucking difficult it's really hard we need to help help a girl out okay right let me think what i
would really advise let's put a scenario in the. I want you to give a absolute full blast go at being,
I want you to have sex with your partner every day.
Like let's try and reconnect with him.
Let's try and get the romance going.
If you are icked out by him, it's time to leave.
But let's just not think,
let's not use the best friend as backup.
That's what it feels like.
That is exactly, I couldn't say that better myself.
Let's not use the best friend as backup. is back up that's what it feels like that is exactly i couldn't say that about myself let's
not use the best friends back up and also let's have consideration for obviously your child but
i think also we need to like compartmentalize the baby in your relationship in a sense because
when you're happier your baby will be happier and you cope people compare really well so i think that being with your partner doesn't necessarily like this isn't like what you have to be doing do you
know what i mean so i think that you need to just like open your eyes and your options and just
think what's going to make you really happy but yeah don't use the best friend as a backup
yeah i just think like the best friend boy and girls being best friends
there's just I just never hear good stories yeah it scares me I'm trying to think if I've had a
boy I've got a boy best friend and I'm fine with that too actually I do Willis but he's gay so
yeah that's so fine you're in the clear with that one yeah I'm in the and I're in the clear with that one. Yeah, I'm in the clear. And I'm in the clear with mine too
because I'm now best friends with my best friend's fiancé.
Like I'm her bridesmaid
and she's become a much closer friend to me through the years.
More so than he does.
But you do hear these stories and they do terrify me slightly.
I'm not sure how I...
I've been jealous of people who have a best friend.
I think I'd fall in love with them in a heartbeat you just wouldn't be best friends with them yeah I think
I'd only be you would then date them and then they wouldn't be your friend like that's the way that
that goes who is best friends with just a boy and a girl and that don't hook up like it's such a weird
don't know do you know anyone no and I'm racking my brain like have I ever been actually really
good mates with a boy if I've not fancied him a little bit?
I've always fancied him, like, a little bit.
But when you were at school, I went to North Wales.
Yeah, that's maybe the difference.
That's the difference.
Like, our friendship group is very boy-girl mix.
Like, there's so many boys and girls that are best, best, best friends.
Yeah, because there were so many boys and there were so many girls.
Yes.
And we were really good friends from such a young age,
you know, in class together and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
boarding together.
So that is where those friendships has come from I know what you mean though like in this
stage of our lives the only friendships that I have with with guys are like through my friends
husbands or boyfriends 100% so it's weird it's weird mind you I've like got a nice relationship
with Jules from Maine Chelsea definitely never fancied him and he definitely never fancied me.
And we have a really nice friendship.
We're friendly with Miles.
We're friends with Miles and there's nothing, you know.
And he's always been like a younger brother to you.
Oh my God, yeah, it's true.
I was, oh my God, Miles was a good...
And nothing ever happened with him.
Oh my God, me and Miles used to be like actually really, really, really so close
that we never fancied, neither of us ever.
Yeah, you just knew it was so platonic.
I know, it kind of upset me because I knew he never fancied me.
Why don't you fancy me?
Kind of want to reject you.
Oh, that's so funny.
It is kind of like ego bruising there, isn't it?
Not really.
In there.
Because you're like, it just makes things take like a bit of a like turn.
Like when you know they've answered you.
Oh God, now we just can't be friends now because it's so gross.
Yeah, it's so true.
Okay, so I think we gave advice.
I think that that was our advice.
Please follow up with us because I'd love to know what happened.
And I also feel like we need a little bit more information
on how you're truly, truly feeling about your best friend.
I think you need to really think.
I think you basically are in a fr frantic frenzy you keep mentioning your
age which is scary and i get it and people have this weird blueprint but there's no right or wrong
you can get married when you're 80 you don't have to get married at all you know i guess i guess
it's giving context to like this you're not you're not just like yeah i know where you're going with
it but i just think that's a scary blueprint that we all have and we all live by
and we shouldn't
society makes everyone think
oh my god you're 32
like you can't break up
I guess she's just being like
I'm not 21 anymore
like the decisions I make
do have a slight more consequence
also because she has a child
which I do get
no but my point is
is like
they don't have a more consequence
I know you mean
being lonely shouldn't be
the reason
like we shouldn't be thinking
oh I'm 30.
But we all do.
Yeah.
No, I get it.
It's really hard.
Okay, right, are we ready to move on?
Yeah.

Okay, dilemma two.
I have this slightly odd dilemma.
I've always wanted to keep porn from being some big taboo topic.
Oh my God, I'm in.
So now and then my partner and I would bring it into the bedroom to spice things up.
Have you ever done anything like that?
No, I haven't, but I have heard like it apparently. People do it all the time.
I can imagine it's really, I can see why people do.
Yeah.
Just I would be too much.
It's a no from me.
It's a no from me.
But here's the things, but here's where things got tricky.
Every time I go down on my partner, he'd start watching porn on his phone to get himself going.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
See, this is what I mean.
It's tricky.
It's a slippery slope.
I finally had to say something.
It just felt sad.
It was like he was getting off.
It was like he was off in his own world, imagining someone else in my place.
He got it, understood, and agreed to stop.
Then, flash forward to a few more weeks, I planned this romantic weekend getaway,
wanting us to just be together.
At one point,
while we were cosy in bed,
I slipped under the covers
hoping that this time
it would be just us two.
But as I came up,
I caught him red-handed
watching porn again.
I'm sorry.
Is he fucking real?
Is he for real?
So you're going down on him.
You're a very generous girlfriend.
It sounds like you suck his dick a lot.
I know.
And then you come up
and he's just watching porn on his phone. Dev's a dumb i would it's like a weird thing because
it's crossing the barrier of like not cheating but like no i don't know it's really i totally
understand this i totally understand this okay i didn't say anything at the time i was disappointed
but i just left it i get that because you don't want to make things like...
No, no.
Do you trust me?
I'm saying something.
I know I would say something.
That phone is being thrown across the wall.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'd be here.
I'd be like, what the fuck are you doing?
Finish yourself off.
You're a fucking part of.
Yeah.
Then another flash forward.
I did something I hadn't done before.
I looked through his history.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
I wanted to know exactly what he'd been watching turns out he was looking
on up a particular star with a very different body type to mine okay this is also really
the weird thing about porn because i'm like do you think that's going to make a difference like
he's looking at someone specifically that looks really different to you i don't know if that's
obviously vines is got it honestly it really hurt me i felt almost silly like maybe i shouldn't be so hurt but i couldn't help it
now i'm left debating do i bring this up or take it out bring this up and take and talk it out or
as a as weird as it sounds do i channel this feeling as some kind of gym motivation oh my god
this is sounding like this is like leading you into a toxic no no this is making you not feel like you love yourself you're like i need to go change my
body in the gym you're perfect you're amazing love yourself and be comfortable and confident
in yourself and i can so imagine how this has completely rocked your world because that would
fucking send me into a frenzy i feel like he's having an affair with the girl. Yeah.
Even though she doesn't.
It's also annoying that it's a specific one over and over again.
If it was loads of different random porn,
you'd probably just be like,
you've got a bit of a porn addiction.
Like, can you stop? No, that's really painful.
But this is, I get it.
Because it's like, it's the same, in my mind,
as someone searching someone on Instagram.
Yeah, at this stage it is.
And listening to the same person over and over and over again.
Whilst you're giving them head. You just and over again and you're like what the fuck
did you just fucking fancy
this girl
like what the fuck
also it's just so disrespectful
you asked him not to do that
I know
so how fucking
I'm so angry about this
he just couldn't help himself
no it's really hideous
couldn't bear
to like not imagine
the porn star
for me this is a dump
of all the fans
I think it needs to be
actually a very very
serious conversation
like look
there has to be a line drawn
there's obviously something going on here.
It's now making me feel insecure.
Like, I now don't want to suck your dick
because you're thinking about this other porn star.
Also, like, is he ever going down on you?
Yeah, I'm sorry.
This sounds like a very one-sided...
I'm not sure about this.
I'm not.
You need to make it sound...
Give him an ultimatum.
Like, it's me or the porn.
And, like, ultimately, you've hurt me so much.
I'm not sure if I actually can maybe get over this.
Yeah.
It's making me doubt the way I look.'s not right also can i just say there's nothing
wrong with you wanting to go to the gym and like spur out some fucking anger and energy on this
absolutely if that's gonna get you like into a place of feeling better about like what he's
doing to you don't feel like you need to change your body if you're like i'm just gonna get in
the gym feel fucking great about myself regardless for me for me yeah not not for him but it's a really
good way to channel anger and like anxiety stress i really do think that but this is like a really
gross and it might actually give you the confidence to be like i don't need him yeah yeah like i like
just make yourself feel better 100 so i do think that's actually a good good advice this is
seedy this is wrong this is rank i'm not okay with it for me that's downfall i'm sorry if i
being married i don't think i genuinely was giving jamie head and i came up and he was
watching porn i would literally genuinely be like we might have to get it was it's just
i think it's not just a one-time thing this is like this has happened a lot of times and it's
not the same porn star over and over again it's really bad no but it's like
if you're watching it together
it's really different
but it's like
really fucking
disrespectful to do that
it's so bad
like on his phone
it's like
no
I really
genuinely think
this is not good
I'm also quite fascinated
that she's clearly
like really under the covers
not looking at his face
whilst giving him head
I've never had that
what do you mean
looking
you look at their face well no I'm not looking at their face but I him head. I've never had that. What do you mean? You look at their face.
Well, no, I'm not looking at their face,
but I'm never, like, enclosed under the covers.
Oh, she's obviously just gone under the covers.
She's fully gone under the covers,
so you can't see what's going on,
or you don't know what's going on.
Like, I pull the covers over me.
Well, nothing's ever, I guess...
I'm like, the covers are off.
If he was starting to do it, I would notice it immediately,
whereas he's sort of, like, doing it all in secret
because you're under the covers.
Like, the whole thing's just really weird.
I know exactly what you mean.
Although I do think the covers thing, like I have gone under the covers before in my life.
Of course.
Yeah.
But it sounds like it's happening every single time.
Then it's like a surprise and you come back up and he's like, porn again.
I'm like, I just like how hot under the covers.
Jesus Christ, I feel really claustrophobic.
Maybe we remove the covers.
Maybe that is the obstacle.
Maybe that's the thing that's allowing him
to get away with these
selfish, selfish acts.
We still don't want him like...
It's really difficult
because like...
To be honest,
are you addressing it
in the moment?
Because I'd be like,
what the fuck are you doing?
And if you...
You need to make him feel...
Oh God, this is really toxic.
You need to make him feel
slightly ashamed about doing it.
I think it's so bad.
We're having an intimate moment.
I'm your fucking girlfriend.
Like we're meant to be in love
on this amazing getaway weekend
and you're watching a fucking porn star
over and over again
whilst I'm sucking your dick.
Yeah.
Do you want me to do the same thing?
Right, bend me over
and I'll get my favorite.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Man out.
What's a good example?
I was like, get my favorite.
I'll get Bradley Cooper out.
Yeah.
On Star is Born
and there you go.
Yeah.
See how he feels
I would do that
you need to really put
that scenario in his head
like do you understand
like no
like this is really not okay
do not bring this up
and the reason it's not okay
is because if you didn't care
and you were like
I don't really care
but do you think it's normal
like it doesn't affect me at all
I'd be like
if you don't care
get on with it
this is affecting your confidence
and it would affect mine
100%
I really really don't like it.
It's affecting mine now.
I'm seething.
I'm seething.
Even now, you know what?
I know that like boys,
when I'm not around,
when we're not around,
they're going to watch porn.
We've had this conversation.
To me, if they're watching porn
when I'm not there,
I couldn't give a fuck about it.
Yeah, same.
As long as it's not super weird
when you can get like,
I know there's these weird cartoon porn stuff
that like happens in the world now.
However, if he was watching the same girl
and Googling XYZ,
I would be devastated even if he's away in Bali in his lap.
What's that really famous porn star that went on Emily Ratt's podcast?
I know.
It's really beautiful.
She's so stunning.
What's her name?
Rose.
She's muddled for Diesel and stuff.
She walks in catwalks now.
If he was searching her.
You know what?
It's also difficult.
The world of OnlyFans is also difficult for this
because it's like all these know what it's also difficult the world of OnlyFans is also difficult for this because it's like
all these celebrities
that were just celebrities
or girls on Instagram
are now also
basically doing porn
for all of our boyfriends
to go and look at
if they want
and you're like
for fuck's sake
how do we then feel about that
it's really
and if they were doing that
over and over again
to me that is
like a dumb pun
I'm like you're emotionally
cheating on me
yeah
with a fantasy
of someone that
I know I feel so insecure I'd be like I don't want to yeah with a fantasy of someone that I know
I just feel so insecure
I'd be like
I don't want to get naked
in front of you
same
I would find it really difficult
because that's the standard
like that's what you're looking at
yeah
and I'm not her
yeah
because you're only yourself right
you know what
and then even if you was looking
at someone who looked
you know
had my colouring
I'd be like
well why aren't you looking
at fucking me
yeah
so none of it's okay
with my view
it's a really hard thing
because it is like
a certain level
of fantasising
is totally fine
and innocent
and I think it's natural
but when it goes
beyond a certain point
are you ever having sex
and picturing someone
out as fucking kinky
no no no no
but like when I watch
a sexy film
I'm like oh wow
vampire diaries
I'm constantly
watching that
or I'm watching
tell me lies right now
is what it's called
that's really quite kinky and I'm like hmm yeah so I think there's a certain amount of like
innocent fantasizing that can go on especially with boys with porn I get that but the same thing
over and over again this is not acceptable and you know what he could have been doing that in
private and it could have been a phase and he could have got over it but he's doing it when
you're sucking him off which is a whole new thing it's really it really needs to be addressed
like you just it's really needs to be addressed i'm upset even at its slide but i get it you
were probably embarrassed and like ashamed for him but let me tell you it's also quite a weird
thing you know when things in the moment happen you're so stunned you're like what the fuck you
don't really know what to do or how to react yeah and you're so in your own head i get it yeah
wow you've got to follow up please tell us okay what you need to do is you need to address it
with him and be like by the way and i'm go and be angry because i'm angry and just yeah just don't
be afraid to express yourself in the fear of like what he's what his reaction will be because we're
two girls and we're not in the same relationship we both have different standards and we're both being like that's not
yeah you need to address it dilemma three hi girls i'm hoping i can get some advice on a huge dilemma
my sister's getting married next summer and i have been made the maid of honor my sister and
i are really close she's my best friend but since becoming maid of honor i have had an opportunity
to move to australia with one of my closest friends i'm 24 and feel a little bored and lost in london i
want to spread my wings live my life and meet new people gorgeous fucking love the sound of that
yeah when i told my sister i was moving to australia she wasn't happy she said i'll regret
the move for the rest of my life if i leave the uk before her wedding i would literally say the
same thing she said i won't be able to support her how she wants me to if i move for the rest of my life if I leave the UK before her wedding. I would literally say the same thing. She said I won't be able to support her how she wants me to if I move as the distance
will be a barrier and I won't be able to go to the hen do.
I'm really not sure what to do.
Do I go to Australia in February and come back for the wedding and support her as much
as I can while I'm over there?
Or do I stay in London for another year so I can be there for your sister?
No, you're just being such a riser.
Yeah, you're just being a riser.
Also, you come back for the wedding and come back for the hen.
You say all these things about like, I wouldn't want you to be pregnant if being such a riser. Yeah, you're just being a weeb. You come back for the wedding and come back for the hen. You say all these things about like,
I wouldn't want you to be pregnant if you're my riser.
But ultimately, if you are, what am I going to do?
I don't give a fuck if any of my friends wanted to meet.
I'd be like, go.
I'd be happy for them.
Yeah.
Your wedding's so much about you anyway.
Like, it's so selfish.
It's just like, I can't allow.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
The thing is though, like, if my sister was going to leave,
if one of my sisters was going to be abroad, I would be like, it wouldn't be anything to do with my wedding. I'd be like, my sister was gonna leave if one of my siblings is gonna be
bored I would be like it wouldn't be anything to do in my wedding I'd be like you can't leave me
full stop you need to stay in here all the family is here we all need to be together
but like just maybe that's where she's coming back for the wedding yeah she's just like she
doesn't want you to go also like sometimes you really need support from like your sister I guess
you're getting married like it is a deal. So maybe she's like freaking out
like, oh my God,
don't leave me.
Look, I would be absolutely devastated
if my sister did that
before my wedding.
However,
you wouldn't stop her.
You'd be like,
what can you do?
I don't want you to go,
but what can you do?
Absolutely.
Like it's really sad for both of you
because I understand why your sister,
like I would say the same thing
to my sister.
I would be devastated
if my sister moved away from me.
But you've got to do
what makes you happy.
You still support her in so many ways. I mean, ultimately, all to move away from me. But you've got to do what makes you happy. You still support her in so many ways.
I mean, ultimately, all you have to do is,
there's not loads you can do.
You're not, like, wiping her bum up until the wedding.
I do get it.
But, like, planning the hen and stuff
is going to be impossible from Australia, virtually,
because of the time.
Actually, you know what?
No, it's not.
Yeah, but they can reply the next day.
You can still email everyone.
There's also windows of time
where there's still working hours
that work for both countries, isn't there?
Like, there's a few. Even if it's a day like, work for both countries, isn't there? There's a few.
Even if it's a day like, it will be harder, but you will be able to do it.
It's possible.
Come back for the hen, come back for the wedding.
Yeah, don't miss either of them.
Commit to doing those.
Do not miss either of those.
And commit to coming back to them.
And don't wait a whole other year.
What do we think is going to happen if the sister throws her toys at the bride and says,
right, we're not friends anymore.
I'm revoking the maid of honor.
Well, screw you.
Oh my God.
That's really quite toxic if honour. Well, screw you. Oh my God, well, that's really quite toxic
if your sister does that to you.
Then we've got
a whole other problem.
Toxic's our new word.
Everything's toxic.
We've got a whole other problem.
That is toxic though.
Yeah.
That's a whole other issue.
Look,
I'm only going off
like my relationship
with my sister.
make people like
be so mean to people.
Like,
I would never do that
to my sister.
I swear we've had people
write in to us
about like, worse shit than this. Yeah, I would never do that to my sister. I swear we've had people write in to us about like,
worse shit than this.
Yeah,
worse shit than this.
Shit.
Did I say that?
Shit.
No,
I don't know why
that just came out of my mouth.
That's weird.
yeah,
but please tell us what happens
because if your sister
is going to be a bitch
and she's like,
you can't be a bridesmaid
if you move to Australia.
Sorry.
I'm booking my flight tomorrow morning.
Off I go then.
Can't threaten me.
Yeah, that's really mean.
But you know what?
Sometimes sisters do just get really aggressive with each other.
I would say that to Georgia.
The sibling, yeah, the sibling barrier is different to a friendship barrier.
Without how aggressive you can be.
But ultimately, like, she will come around.
Like, if she's a good sister, she'll come around.
She'll be like, if this makes you happy, go for it.
I also feel like you should sit your sister down and be like,
I will be there for you 110%.
There'll be a bit of a time difference.
I'm going to be there for the hen.
I'm going to plan the hen.
It's going to be just as good as if I was in the UK.
I'm obviously going to be there for the wedding.
I'll be there before the wedding.
And I'll be there after the wedding.
Okay?
I agree.
I feel sad for the sister.
Just make some promises to her.
I had the thought of that happening to me, though.
If my sister was like
I'm off and moving to Australia
on the year I was getting married
I'd be actually
my heart would break
yeah I'd be sad too
but like
sorry we're making you feel bad
like you've got to do your thing
you've got to live your life babe
you've got to live your life babe
24 is a fucking amazing age as well
it's the best age
you know what
just before 25
people are still going
oh you're such a baby
and you're like
oh yeah I'm so like
naive and young and fresh.
But you're old enough to do everything.
You're old enough to be taken seriously.
But you're young enough to still be the baby.
And you're young.
