But they're like, you know, in their, you know, they're like, I'm going to go and get them. I'm going to go and get them. I'm going to go and get them. I'm going to go and get them. I'm going to go and get them. I'm going to go and get them. I was just saying to Sophie outside, these jeans I haven't worn in like a really long time, they look really nice and I'm stood up. I really like them. But they're like, you know when they're stiff and they like dig into your vagina a bit.

And I was walking and I was like, oh, out, out, like from Edgewear Road. And now I'm sat down, it's like really quite uncomfy. They're just slightly on the snug side. It's almost like, I don't know what it hits, but it's so like sharp. Yeah. Yeah, it goes right, the lining of them goes right up the crack of your dress.

And it's almost like this lump underneath the jeans, from where they've sewn, sewn, sewn. You know what I mean? All the bits of material together and it sort of digs in. It's a little bit uncomfy, if I'm being honest. It's a lot. But they look cute, so that's the main thing. You had a bit of a wedgie front wedgie, not front wedgie, but. Oh my God. No. So basically I had the BAFTAs on Saturday,

the BAFTAs and omnisphalsey. And then we wore like basically underwear underneath like a crystal. So cool. Thing. But normally with that, the underwear are sort of like meant to wear showing, whereas these were literally just underwear. So they were so thin. They were seamless pants, so thin. You can literally see the outline of your vagina. And I just thought, oh my God, like what if I get a bit sweaty? Like what if I, you know, anything covers, like it's going to show. Oh, that's so conscious of it. So I, I just like, I put a tampon in anyway, cause I just thought just to like.

Yeah, apparently that's a good, that's like a hack. A hack, shove the, like. Yeah. Then I was thinking, oh my God, if the string hangs out, it's going to be. Oh my God, no, I'd be so panicked. Anyway, in every photo, the outline of my vagina was very unsure, but I blurred it out. I sometimes worry about that. I don't know if you get this. Not in leggings, but in the yoga pant style leggings, see the ones that flare out. Oh yeah. Because they have, I guess, the ability to ride up more. And then it literally looks like

I have a willy. I'm like, what the fuck? Like you can see the whole outline of my vagina. And Toby's like, no, that's quite fit. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. You think it is because you're my boyfriend. But to the girls in the Pagati Studio, they're like, oh, what the fuck is that? I like posted, and then I unposted it.

I was like, James, does this look like I've got a dick? He was like, no. It's us overthinking it. And then I couldn't unsee it. I was like, I took away like 14 photos. I was like, they look like I've got a dick. I've also done that before in bikinis where I've literally like edited my vagina

because I'm so conscious someone's going to like be looking at it, it looks too vaginary. Yeah, it's like- Which is crazy. It's like very much a V and you want it almost to be more flat. It's because of fucking Barbies. I know, what is that?

We now like think that's how it's just a lot isn't it? It is. We should not be ashamed of the vagina shape. It's a beautiful part of the female form. We shouldn't and everyone has one. I know. Well if you're a girl you do. So it was the pre-party. So were you there with all of the celebrities? So it was the nominees party. Yeah. So there's all the after parties. I went to the after party last year, which was good, but they like some of, there's like loads of them, like Netflix and whatever. So people go to different ones. Whereas this, there's only one nominees party, so everyone's there. And this is the night before?

The night before. So apparently, World of the Street is like, they haven't actually been, like the votes are still out. So all the BAFTA people are there. So all the nominees want to come to schmooze the BAFTA people to be like- To make their final decision. To make your final decisions. They're all there. Got it.

Anyway, so like Hugh Grant, all of them were just mincing about Demi Moore right next to me. Zoe Zaldana is like, I always think she's one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen in my entire life. She looks so natural as well. Just such an amazing lady. I'm so sad. You should watch the Hollywood Reporter,

the actor's table and it had like Demi Moore and it had her on it had, who's that lady like the woman who plays Queen Elizabeth? Clay Blanchett. You know what's so funny is first time I ever went to Glastonbury where I think we all like trekked halfway across fucking Glastonbury to go see Stormzy and I turn around in the crowd and I'm obviously really drunk at this point and I'm like, oh my God, that's Cate Blanchett right behind me. Oh my God, speaking of Glastonbury, just going to touch up this because I spoke to you about it before.

Oh, God, yeah. So this guy went to my school and basically scammed people out of loads of Glastonbury tickets. Everyone knows about it. It is not a secret because he's done it to so many people. It's terrible. It's shocking. I think they're making a doc about it now because he's really scammed a lot of people. He's basically like the Farr Festival. Yes, it is exactly like that. It's honestly mental. I think someone I know got scammed. Yes, probably. Honestly, so many people have been scammed by him.

Do you remember him at school? Yeah. You know what happens with these scamming situations though, like the police see it as like, you know, the Tinder spender, it's like, well, you shouldn't have done that. Like you shouldn't have bought something from a legal website or got it from like that. So they don't, you don't get your money back. No, they won't get their money back. I don't think. And also this guy, I know, I think he's in like hiding in Spain or something and he, but now he owes scary people money apparently. Like, I don't know. The fire festival guys come back out of prison. It's doing the same festival. I'm like, what? But guys, you've got to go back to the fact that I used a Facebook message who I thought

was Adam Brody. So I am not one to talk. We've all been there. Also, I will say that when I first went on, oh God, this is so cringy today, when I first like sort of moved to London, there was a boy that I don't actually know. And he basically was, he wasn't like Tinder swindling me, but he was going around to like all these girls saying I was his girlfriend.

I'd actually just joined Maiden Chelsea, so I don't know if he was like trying to flex or something and thought it was cool. I'd met this guy like maybe twice. I'm an icon. I met this guy like twice. We'd like never spoken. I don't even, maybe we'd like DM'd on Instagram. He was really attractive.

Like he was a model. So basically he messaged me out the blue being like, I'm really sorry that you've been told these things. I was like, told what? Some girl had said I'm going to whatever. He thought I knew. And he was like, I just didn't want to date this girl. And then I found out it happened to five different girls. And I was like, why the fuck are you saying we're dating? I don't. No. I know.

To be fair. Quite a flash to be honest. I also told such a lie to my first ever boyfriend. So I was like, God no, really fancied this boy. And finally, I don't know how we started talking. And he must have asked me about golf. I think I must have heard he was really into golf or maybe on Facebook or something. And he was, so I was doing golf lessons at the time golf or maybe on Facebook or something. Right. And he was, so I was doing golf lessons at the time. I did like two golf lessons. What is this because you had he liked golf?

I really don't want to think it is. I want to- But it probably was knowing you. Yeah. I'm thinking in my mind, my dad just wanted me to do golf lessons, but then I also think I did go to an all-girls school and I was like really, really boy obsessed. I don't know. It's plausible.

Anyway, he asked me, I was like, I'm doing golf lessons. Like I have golf lessons, I'm really into golf. And he then went, watch your handicap. I didn't know what that was. So I go to my dad and says, dad, what's like a reasonably good, like you're pretty good at golf, but you're not pro. Like you're, you're a good, it's an impressive. He went 14 handicap.

I remember it so well. So I go 14 handicap. He's like, that is unbelievable. I don't think anything of it. Anyway, two months later, we start actually dating. He takes me to the golf course. I don't know. Confession. Confession. I don't even know how to have a golf car. Actually, genuinely to this day, I'm like, it's- What did he say? Was he like, oh. I don't know. My mind's blocked out. Yeah. Trauma, trauma, trauma. There's always white lies that I tell Toby now about like, not big ones, like just small

ones about like purchases and I lie and say it's gifted and he believes me. Oh God, me too. And let's PR. I say it with everything. He sent it to me. Really Prada. Prada are gifting you. He obviously doesn't fall for that.

Wait, what other things? So it's the gifting thing I do that on a regular basis. I also like about how you're like, oh, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going on a regular. I also lie about how much I spend on things all the time. Classic.

All the time. I also lie like Jamie will be like, if I get in the taxi and Jamie's like, how far away is like Lammy? I'm like, I'm like two minutes away. You do that to me all the time. It's so annoying. Two minutes away. I've got really- She won't be there for half

an hour guys. I really do in my mind think everything's a lot closer than it is. Like 15 minutes to me is like two minutes and then I get in the car and I'm like, I'm actually going to be 15 minutes later. I'm really bad. Supplements, we need to talk about that. The boys have a serious problem with our supplements. Supplements and the spending on the supplements. Jamie called me a pill popper. He went, there's pills everywhere. And I went, their supplements, it's carcamin and turmeric and magnesium, and citrate.

Also, does he not take them? I make Toby Pals and he takes them. He refuses. But then he complains about it. And I'm like, look, and he was like, to be fair, I've not had a cold in two years. So I'm like, there you go. I wake up and I feel fucking amazing every day. I actually need to really do some tests because I don't. I feel dreadful every day. Jamie's literally like, you've never felt worse since taking these supplements. I actually need to really do some chats because I don't, I feel dreadful every day. Jamie's literally like, you've never felt worse since taking these supplements. He literally says it to me. He looks at me and he's like, Toby did this to me, you know this, who's like feeling a bit anxious because he'd been a bit ill. And then he was like, you know, the move was really

stressful. I'm like, no, it wasn't. Those boys. They just have to pick something and go, yeah, that must have been it. Like Jamie today, so I thought I had burnout. I was telling Melissa, like, I've just been really tired as I always am, but also really busy. So I was like, oh God, Jamie's convinced I have burnout. He was like, you have burnout. And I'm like, oh, I feel better now. Like it must've been jet lag. And he's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, dude, if I feel tired tomorrow, like a big fucking deal, I'll have an extra coffee. This is my take on it. It's not that men are more anxious or have more mental health problems, but women are so accustomed to feeling okay to have them, thank God, in this day and age.

If I feel, not that I often feel depressed, but if I have a day when I feel low or I'm negative, it doesn't phase me. I'm like, oh, I'm probably on my period. Same. I'm like, I feel shit today, but what can you do? Boys are like, we're not allowed to feel that because we've got to be so strong. We've got to be these like patriarchs of the family. And that's why it triggers them so much more. And then they get, and then they overthink it all. And because they're trying to fight it so much. Like, it's not really a fucking big deal. To me, if I feel like in a shit mood, I'm like, oh, I'm in a shit mood today. I know. I think for me, what's hard is that Jamie is so worried. He's so affected by how he feels. God bless him. He's going to see this and be like, thanks. If he feels burnt out or whatever, it really freaks him out.

So then if I say I am, that also freaks him out because I'm like an extension of him. I have to be like, I'm fine every day because I don't want to worry him because it's really not a big deal. And he doesn't see that. It's something that I also struggle to truly understand because I've never had, I guess,

stresses or anxieties in that general sense. I'll get like stress for something like if we've got like a big event or like we have to like talk in front of a crowd, I'll be like anxiety tell me like. So I understand those things or like general stresses of life, like if something bad happens. I don't have this, I don't have flare ups of anxiety for no reason. Yeah, I mean, it's like generalized anxiety disorder. Yeah, we don't have that. No, that's what I find difficult to understand because then trying to rationalize,

someone that is going through those like phases of having that, tries to rationalize it and pinpoint what the problem is. And then you'll just sat there like, well, I don't know. Does Toby do that? Will he be like, oh, it's cause I've had an orange juice or two coffees today. He'll try to a little bit, yeah, same as Jamie.

To try and make them, it's like a self-soothe, I guess. I don't really know. It's actually so sweet. This is a new segment called G Tales. Galena is our producer, also known as G, hence the G Tales. Yes, so I'm going to bring you a story and we'll see if you've ever experienced anything similar. So we're taking a bag to secondary school and I wasn't particularly the popular girl, but the popular girl was like, randomly came up to me and was like, right, come and took me into one of the girl's cubicles and she takes out a bag of Maltesers, pops it up her vagina.

I'm in shock. Sat down on the loo and goes, right, what's there? No, didn't even sit down. I was sat down. She made me sit down on the seat to look up her vagina. Pulled her pants down? Yeah. Then pull the Malteser out, then put it back in the bag. Oh my God. And then we go out and she goes up to Bradley, one of the boys in the school, and she goes, do you want a Malteser? Only one left in the bag and he goes all right then and then he eats the vagina Malteser.

Ew! What the fuck? Oh I don't mean to mean that girl's probably having a weird moment. That's really bizarre. Honestly that is a really weird moment. That's a really really odd thing to do. Surely this was like a dare or something. What possessed her? I never did, I was going red. Why did she get you as well? You, excuse me. I don't know. She was doing it with you saying, why are you doing that?

I think I was in shock. Also, you know that time when you were in secondary school, popular girl does something, you're kind of just like, well, this is fine. A bit like Regina George when she cuts the- Right, yeah, because it's her, it's kind of fine. Because it's her, it's fine. Sorry. Wait, so did you then go and tell Bradley?

Like you've just eaten- Well, then she told Bradley straight after. She was like, oh, it's... What was the reaction? And he obviously was like, oh my God. And then... Was he laughing? Was it cool? Did he like it? No, no, I don't think he liked it. Oh my God.

How was she probably, she sounds like she was being really bizarre. That is absolutely unhinged behavior. I will say there's like a weird time in like people's lives around that age. Very experimental with the genitals area. I'm going to really out my... I'm scared. I'm really scared of what you're about to say. So I was the only one who had an electric toothbrush. Oh, gotcha.

But we all wanted to know what it felt like. I don't know what it felt like. So we took the head off my toothbrush. I'm crying. And it would, no, we all had our own separate beds, but we would pass it around the room. And there was one particular girl who would hog it. Wait, so you wouldn't wash it or anything? Obviously I would, but it wasn't like the head. And it would be on top of people's trackies. I just honestly, we talk about that quite a lot. We're like, we were so awful, but apparently it's really a thing. One thing to use your own, but not to like pass around a toothbrush.

No. It's also the fact that it was mine. I'm like, that's so embarrassing that I did that. God needs masks. Toothbrush really got me through some tough times. There was five of us in a drum as well. That charge really was worn down by the end of the night. But God needs masks. Toothbrush really got me through some tough times. I was five months in a dream as well. I was at my charge, really was worn down by the end of the night.

But wait, the toothbrush thing is like a legit thing. The toothbrush was very much part of my puberty. At one point it was banned from all girls' boarding houses, I remember. All girls' schools, never from mine. But there was rumours that you weren't allowed to have an electric toothbrush in all girls' schools. You went on our school on trips. You weren't allowed to take it on night school trips. Shut. I think I honestly like, yeah, my toothbrush. Wait, I'm weirded out. I feel like Galina doesn't ever use her toothbrush.

Teeth. Unless it's been on her teeth. Well, I guess now there's vibrations. I've only recently got an electric toothbrush. One girl at my school stuck a test tube up for vagina and it smashed. Oh, I've heard that. I've heard about it. Yeah. I think it must be like a very, like people just do it. Our school was virtually on the Glastonbury Festival site, so we would go every year. And there was a girl who was on her period

and wore like a pad and took the pad down, stuck it to the bottom of the tent or the side of the tent and then forgot and slept with him and then left it in his tent. Why? Because they were about to have sex and she was probably like, shit, he's coming in or like, I need to quickly remove this, stick it here, it was dark. Next day morning, he's like, what the fuck is on the side of the tent?

Oh my God, I'll never forget. On the inside. We were at a party once, you know when we used to have like field parties, like people's houses and then you'd all go into like their field. I'll never forget this guy and this girl like had been going out. They were very toxic. They broke up, whatever. And they both had gone missing for ages. Everyone was like, Oh my God, they're obviously getting back together, whatever. And then he walks in and he's got blood all over his face. And she walks in and she's got blood all over her face. And they're like, he walks in first and we're like, what the fuck's happened to

you? She walks in about five minutes. And they're like, what? And they're like, he walks in first and we're like, what the fuck's happened to you? She walks in about five minutes later and they're like, what, what? And they're like, we haven't been together. And then they look at each other. Obviously he had licked her out, she had been on period, then they kissed and like the blood had gone everywhere. And like, that is honestly one of the worst things I've ever heard. I remember it so well. And we were like, oh my God, but they obviously didn't because it was so dark. That is so awful. I know, but I actually don't- Surely you could taste the blood? Obviously not. I don't know. Oh my god.

It's actually tragic, isn't it? Oh my god. That is, don't you, I used to have like a really weird fear that was like, that was going to happen to me. When the lights were off and the lights came on and there was no blood, you'd be like, I used to just constantly think like, it was like almost like a PTSD thing. I was like, I'm going to be on my period. Oh my God, that's horrible. I had a really, I think I've told you this, it wasn't actually too long ago. I actually can't even bring myself to say it.

No, I actually can't. I know this story. Guys, this story. This is girlhood shit. I am sat talking, talking, talking, have a lovely, lovely time and I stand up and I look on this white sofa and there is, I've basically sat on my, well, talking, have a lovely, lovely time. And I stand up and I look on this white sofa and there is, I've basically started my, well, not started, but I've come on my period.

And I pull the chair out and I just see all the boys. Look at it. And they look away, because they're like, what do we do? And I'm like, and I actually to this day can't believe that happened to me. I still leave sleepover. Oh, fuck.

That's tragic. You know what? It's like when you wear white jeans, you're always convinced your period's going to come. It's like one of those weird things. Even when I'm on my period now, I'm convinced it's showing through or I don't know. Well, this was a good little take back to memory lane. I know. Right, daddies, if you want to write into details and get any details that you want to house being spilled on, then go because it really opened up a few doors here.

Absolutely. If you go say one thing, it will like- Trigger so many memories. ... jog a memory.

I've been debating submitting this, but I need some advice. My boyfriend is great, sweet.

We get along. In the beginning, the sex was great and frequent, but for the last 2.5 great, sweet, we get along. In the beginning, the sex was great and frequent, but for the last 2.5 years, it hasn't met expectations, both in frequency and quality. I'm a giver, so I didn't notice at first that I wasn't getting much back. Then one day I suggested he go down on me and he didn't feel like it. To be fair, I'm like that's a shame. I'm like, don't feel like it. No. I'm just like straight up no. Since then, there's always an excuse and I've realized that's a shame. I'm like, don't feel like it, no. I'm just like straight up no. Since then there's always an excuse and I've realized we only have sex if I initiate

or if we've showered together. Interesting. Which isn't a vibe for me. When I bring it up, he gets upset, offended, or blames stress, but he has no issue hinting for a blow job. Oh no, no, no, no. That's not good, is it? Just give me a buzzer.

It's starting to really bother me. I'm tired of begging for sex, and when it happens, it's mediocre. We're talking about a few together, but I can't commit to a lifetime of this. To complicate things, my ex spoiled me, and I started fantasizing about when my boyfriend won't meet my needs.

So, do I even bring this up again? I feel like a broken record, and maybe words aren't the solution. How do I give him specific feedback without offending him? He hates hearing I have past partners and even seems bothered when I tell them him what I like. His ego on this is exhausting. So you can't say, my ex did this and I used to love it when he used to go down on me. That's outrageous behavior. It's like so difficult because you also don't want to make someone do something they don't want to do.

Yeah. But equally, if they're not meeting your- Have you ever asked Toby to go down with you? No. Neither me. You can ask someone to do something, but if they don't want to do it, you can't make them. And then it also equally like you can't be with someone

that maybe isn't meeting your needs because it sounds like it's quite a big deal for you. Unless you go to a sex therapist. Yeah, maybe you've got to go to therapy about this. It depends how much you love, it depends how good the relationship is without the sex. Like is it worth fighting for? You know, is it like everything's perfect and you just have shit sex? Yeah. Because then it's like, well, you've, then you know.

You have to weigh up what you think is important. And if you would rather have someone that's... I do think it is a bit of a red flag that you're like thinking about how your ex... I also think you know like if you said to him oh my ex did this and I really liked it you're probably gonna put him off having sex because I would then feel really awkward having sex because I'd be like... Imagine the boy said that to us. Jamie would literally be like what the fuck. Imagine Jamie my ex gave a really good blow job.

So can you do it like this? Yeah. What the fuck? Like as if. I actually really liked when my ex did this. Yeah, no. Do you mind? Can we just replay that?

No. If you've never had good sex. This is what I'm going back to. It wasn't like in the beginning it was amazing and now it's become a bit lazy. It's not like that. Because that does just happen. And I do think we have to set expectations. I will say, if you're like, it feels like you're a very sexual being and

like you're a massive giver. Yeah. Maybe your expectations are like higher than most of or like a lot of like, you know, I don't know how much of a giver I am. So like, I'm not a giver. I'm a receiver. I'm a receiver too. So I think that I... And we're lucky that both of our boyfriends are givers and also are not bothered by the fact that I'm not a giver. Yeah. I mean, I would say I'm not like enthusiastic about being a giver, but I... I'll put in a good stint when I need to. Same. I'm not like, oh my God, I want to give you a blow job today. I'm like, oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't resist, you know? That's the difference. Whereas if you're going,

like, I cannot wait to get home and rip your jeans off and suck your cock. Like he is probably, might not be like, I cannot wait to lick you out tonight. No, but he's like, he's gagging for you to always give him the blub. And said, I'm not in the, didn't feel like it. Right. I'm going to be really harsh and I'm just going to say, I don't think that your sexual energies are aligned. Me neither. And I think if they never were, they never will be. And you need to really evaluate how

important it is to you. And if you're okay with having fantasies about your ex in the bedroom. I think you probably need to just have a really open, honest conversation and be like, because ultimately you'll start getting the ick. If you're not having sex, you'll just become housemates. Yeah. We don't want that. No.

Keep us updated though. And I'm glad that you're really, you know what you want. You're not like, oh, am I in the wrong? You want more sex. You want him to go down on you. And that is so funny. We're allowed to want that. I think the conversation will give you quite a lot of clarity and then hopefully you can make a decision. But please tell us what happens. Because I feel like we actually weirdly have had this dilemma probably like almost exactly before about someone being a bit. Yeah, many a times. It happens more than we think girls. 100%. Right.

Dilemma two. Dear Sophie and Melissa, my sister and I are writing in because we genuinely don't know who else to talk to. This has been troubling us for years and we really need your help. Oh my god, I can't wait. This is two sisters. I sat here and written this. And also like, because they don't know who else to talk to. We are out for a win-free.

Okay, right. Over time, we noticed our dad following a huge number of sexual suggestive accounts on Instagram. Shit. One of our fiance's even started seeing the reels on his explore page that our dad had liked. It's always so awkward when you see liked by and you're like, what the fuck? He now follows over 7,000 accounts on Instagram, 2,000 on TikTok and similar pages on Facebook.

What are we talking about? Sexual? Only fan vibes? I'm just guessing girls with bikinis and like, you know. Oh God, I'm sorry. This is really rough. Oh God, it gets worse. The real issue is we don't know how to approach this with our mum. No.

They've been happily married for 35 years, but he's liking content of girls our age and younger. We're age and younger. We're 32 and 29. It makes us feel so uncomfortable. Awkward and honestly disgusted. We're embarrassed to bring it up with friends because we don't want them to judge us or him, even though we know what he's doing is wrong. I know, I so get that. What makes it worse is the secrecy. He deletes all his messages and browsing history and we've even found messages arranging to meet a woman for lunch plus searches for sex meetups in the area. We have no idea if mum knows and is okay with it, knows and is struggling or is completely

unaware. We're lost on what to do. Please, please help. Oh my God, I'm so sorry guys. This sucks. It's so hard. I personally, what I would do is with my sister, I'm so sorry guys, this sucks. It's so hard. I personally, what I would do is with my sister, I would ask to like meet my dad and pass him in a private place and I would be like, pour my heart out and be like, we've seen this, it's so upsetting. I don't really understand it.

Can you please explain it to me? And then I'd also say that you've seen X, Y, Z. Bring all the proceeds, bring all the facts. And then, you know, he might say he has like some, like a problem, like I don't think it's that normal. And he might open up and say, actually me and your mom have an open marriage. You never know.

Yeah, I think you then have to address that then, but you know, I would fall back on the fact that a thing that I would say, if I was in that position, I'd be like, I really want, like the only way I'm gonna forgive you or get over this is if like you come to like family therapy with me and we know that you're getting help or like talking about these problems. And like ask a therapist or a professional,

do you think we need to downtown my mom? Is honesty always the best policy? Like in this scenario? I think ignorance is bliss. Yeah, are we better off mom not knowing about this, dad resolving the issue, Yeah. Like getting put to bed and everyone moving on from it.

Absolutely, for me. Or are we better off addressing it and mom knowing the truth, dad admitting, you know, maybe I've got a bit of a problem because ultimately he's asked to meet up with women and have sex with them. So he's now trying to cheat and pay for, do you know what I mean?

Like it's going a little bit of a step further than just like looking at too many girls. Yeah, it's like a lot. Ultimately, like it's really not fair on you guys and it's also, he's doing it on Instagram so other people can see he's doing that. My heart is really torn on this. It's so hard because now I'm in that trying to put myself in your position. I'm really not torn. Like I'm so sure that you shouldn't go straight to your mum. No, obviously don't go straight to the mum,, but I'm trying to see how this is going to go. So let's say dad denies it all. Then what do you do?

I don't think he will. I think you go and you show him. You've probably got screenshots of all of it. You go and you say, what is this? The only thing he'd die is say, someone's hacked my account. It's not me, but you know it is. And just be really honest and be like, we know this to you. This has been going on for so long. Like either explain it to us or make us understand or like stop or we're never going to forgive you. Like I think you've got to be really firm with him. You know, he could turn around and say, look, we've got an open marriage, in which case it's a whole other situation. And you know, as-

And then you can lay down some boundaries and be like, look, as your daughters, would you mind not liking people's girls' photos that are our age? Because that makes me feel fucking sick. Yeah. I can understand that this is heartbreaking for you guys. I'm so sorry. It's really such a bizarre thing. As we get older, we maybe have to deal with... It's funny how sometimes in these scenarios that you become the parent, the roles change. It's so weird and such a weird thing to try and have to deal with. I also think you don't want to make him feel like he's ambushed because I don't know how well

that would go down. He might be so embarrassed as well. I mean, I hope he wouldn't be. I don't care. I think you've got to ambush him. Like what are you mean? I know it's so disgusting, but I'm trying to think like, if someone's like.

You've got to sit him down, the two of you. I wouldn't have your boyfriends there because I think, you know, it should be a family matter and I think that's an ambush. He doesn't want people to think other people know. I think you sit him down immediately. Like I'm talking tomorrow when you listen to this and you do not let this go on for any longer because if anything, your mum is going to get embarrassed by this. Like it's not fair on your mum and you need to sit him down and be like, what the fuck

are you doing? This is what we've seen. It's fucking disgusting. I think him also understand that other people can see the accounts he's following and what he's liking. He doesn't understand that. And you're totally right to not tell your friends about it.

I would keep it that way. Keep it in the family and make sure he's aware of the fact that he can definitely, like everyone can see that he's liking these photos. Sending you so much love, please, please, please update us on what happens. Really sending you guys love, it's really not fun. Dilemma three, hi girls, I have a birthday dilemma for you.

Next month I turn 25, ugh, the days, and growing up my birthday was always one of my favorite times of the year. For me, it's all about getting my friends together and having a fun weekend. My partner Vibe and I have been together for nine months, but we've had very different upbringings. I grew up wealthy while he had a more modest background. When I mentioned planning a spa weekend in the country with my friends, he looked completely confused about why I'd want to do that

for my birthday. He then told me he never celebrated his birthday growing up. It just wasn't a thing in his house. Now he says he won't celebrate my birthday and doesn't expect me to celebrate his because he sees birthdays as a waste of money. I don't know what to do and I worry that money will become a bigger issue between us in the future. Would love your advice and absolutely love the podcast. I think this is a simple solution. You just need to be really honest with him and say, look, you don't have to buy me anything and

spend money, but I would like a card. You can write it on a piece of paper and I would like you to give me a hug and say happy birthday. That's celebrating it. If he doesn't want to celebrate his, that's one thing, but I'm celebrating mine. You don't have to buy me a present. You don't have to put me a weekend away, but like you need to acknowledge it's my birthday and that in itself is celebrating a birthday. Yeah. I don't think that's very fair.

I think that's a bit of like a chip on his shoulder sort of thing and like, I didn't celebrate it so I'm not gonna celebrate yours. Like, you don't have to spend money on, but you can celebrate with me. Happy birthday is celebrating. On the other hand, you know, he clearly never got his birthday celebrated,

which is really sad. And he's probably got a lot of resentments towards his upbringing for that reason, which is obviously trickling into his adult life. Look at me and the therapist. I know. So I think you need to sit with him and be like, look, you've probably got a bit of trauma. You've got resentments. Like I want birthdays to be happy and I want your birthday to be a happy day and I want my birthday to be a happy day and God willing, if you want your children's birthdays to be happy and like, we need to resolve your resentments because birthdays should be celebrated in whatever way you want to celebrate them. This can be a new tradition for us in our relationship. Like in our relationship, we

do nice things for each other on our birthdays. And that's just what I would love to do for you and what I would love for you to do for me. And just reiterate, like it doesn't have to be going to a spa. Like he should go out to get wherever coffee shop and get you a croissant and a coffee on your birthday and a card like that, I'm sure will suffice. And as long as as he's there with you in whatever way you want to celebrate. And even if you do want to go on a spa weekend, and he knows that'll make you happy and you guys want to do that, you want to do that, then you should.

You're really not being unreasonable at all. I think it's just having open communications and letting him have the space to explain. Also, nine months, you're still... I mean, obviously, you know each other well, but you're still learning little things about one another. So you're in this stage where you're like, do I press on this and try and understand it more? Or is that like, you're still in that slight unknown territory,

which I can understand. In relationships, it's about making your other half happy, right? So if Toby was the type of person that really wanted me to go above and beyond and take the, and like not do anything for his birthday and whatever, unless just being with him and like celebrating him, I would do that because that would be what makes him happy. So I think that he really, your boyfriend needs to compromise here. We're all like, it's not really rocket science. Like your girlfriend clearly wants to celebrate her birthday. I'm not gonna be like, no, we're not doing that

because I don't believe in birthdays. Like, sorry, it doesn't work like that. Absolutely. I think you need to just lay down the law. Lay down the law and figure out what's going on. But also it's not actually not about him. It's not his birthday. It's your birthday. Yeah. And if he doesn't want to celebrate his, you could only try. And if he really doesn't want to, then you have to accept that and just be like morning on his 20th, 30th birthday that would be bizarre. Okay I feel like that's really spilled some wisdom today. We really have. I feel like it was quite a serious episode.
