Boy Talk: You guys caught my man out!!!

In short

“Boy Talk” episode mixes sponsor ads with listener dilemmas and “worst date” stories, then focuses on catching partners out—especially via flirty messages and boundary-crossing.

Guests

No named guests appear in the transcript. The hosts are the “Boy Talk” girls (including Sophia and Sarah), plus multiple listener callers/writers.

Guest backgrounds

Not applicable—this episode is primarily host discussion and advice to listeners.

Key claims

  1. Worst dates include projectile vomiting, third-person self-talk, paying a huge Valentine’s Day bill, and public sexual/explicit behavior.
  2. Dilemma 1: A 29-year-old engaged woman says her fiancé messaged an old co-worker on LinkedIn, including a request for him to be interviewed wearing only a “Vikings hat,” framed as sexual/flirty; she’s unsure about attending a planned Italy trip.
  3. Dilemma 2: A 25-year-old engaged woman feels suffocated by a relationship that has merged with her fiancé’s life (businesses, dog, shared social circle) and wonders if she should leave.
  4. Dilemma 3 begins with another listener suspecting emotional cheating.

Notable examples

  • Tinder date: duolingo “five minutes,” vomiting, and asking her to pay a 500-pound bill.
  • Public: a woman scratching her vagina in a restaurant; a woman being fingered on a double-decker bus.
  • Vikings hat DM: “interview me wearing nothing but a Vikings hat” and explicit sexual escalation.

0:00This episode is sponsored by Aerie. If you know me, you know that my philosophy is all about looking good and feeling good every single day. And that honestly comes down to the first layer. I'm talking about bras. If your bra is digging into your shoulder or maybe it's riding up in the back or you are dying to take it off at the end of the day, then that bra is not the right fit. And what I love about Aerie is that they have 59 different sizes in really soft fabrics and really good fits. Because at the end of the day, your bra should hold you in and not hold you back. Visit Aerie.com to find the right bra and your perfect fit.

20:08Right. Dilemma number one. He asked his... What? He asked his co-worker to interview him wearing nothing but a Vikings hat. Remember when we did that project on the Vikings at primary school? York? Do you remember? Yeah, I remember everything about the Vikings. I remember going to York and going to the Vikings. My mum still got my Vikings project. It was like a year four thing. Where were the Vikings? That's a good question. They were in York. They were in York because they got the Vikings centre in York. Yes, we've been. I've been many times. Wait, so his kink, sorry, is a Viking. Dress up. So he would enjoy the Renaissance Fair.

20:52But he's asking his co-worker. Right. I would like to go to a Renaissance Fair. I've never heard of a Renaissance Fair. They're more in America. Okay. So we'll dress up in like, you know, the olden times garments. And we'll go. Like Bridgerton IRL. Yeah, less Bridgerton, more, you know, we're the villagers. okay religion number three yes and we go when a year old we have baskets yes we can put you know little you would enjoy this ears on oh cool and just walk around and everyone else is dressed up in this little it's like little market storms and some rides and everyone's in character oh you enjoy that if you get a ticket thank you send me pics thank you hi girls can't believe I'm finally writing in you are my comfort pod and I look forward to it every Monday and Wednesday.

21:45Thank you, Sarah. Still hoping out for a US tour one day. No, USA, USA. Fingers crossed. I've been debating writing this because I feel like deep down I know the answer, but I'm so emotionally involved that I can't tell if I'm making the right decision anymore. I'm 29 and engaged. To the Viking, ma 'am. To the Viking renaissance, ma 'am. We got engaged about three months ago. We have an almost two-year-old son. house and what I thought was a really solid future ahead of us. Our relationship moved very quickly. We started dating, moved in together a few months after, found out I was pregnant shortly after that and have essentially been building a life together ever since.

22:26It hasn't always been perfect but I genuinely believed we could get through anything. The biggest issue in our relationship has always been alcohol. Most of our major fights stem from drinking. Despite this I stayed because I loved him you know i believed him when he apologized and i truly thought we could work through it two days ago i received a hey girl dm a random woman messaged me to tell me that my fiance had been sending inappropriate messages to another woman she said she was a friend of the woman receiving these messages shout out that woman then and felt guilty knowing that we are engaged with a child.

23:05I immediately checked his phone and I found them. The woman was an old co-worker. Brian had reached out to her on LinkedIn to get her number under the guise of asking her for career help for his cousin. What? Instead, he started sending flirty and inappropriate messages, including telling her she should interview him wearing only a Vikings hat. What? How have we got here? Maybe you've got a Viking hat, sorry. It's got the steel thing with the things like that. It's what they wear in like How to Train Your Dragon, no? Let me just get a visual. A female Viking hat. They've got like the breastplates.

23:47Viking hat. So maybe they've bonded over Vikings. I guess so. Yeah, here we go. Yeah, it's the horns. Metal with the horns. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Ooh, niche. Yeah, look. It's quite, you know, it's quite, you know. So just wearing that. Yeah. That's got to be heavy, that. That's a piece of kit. I think that's... This is the plastic version, obviously. Oh, yeah, of course. Right. All of the furry sides. Oh, that's very House Train Your Dragon coded. The part that really gets me is that he didn't confess. I only found out because a complete stranger felt bad enough for me to tell me. So is she saying he's denying it?

24:29Well, she's just saying the fact that a random girl had to tell me and my fiance didn't even come to me and say, look, I've really fucked up. When I originally confronted him, he immediately went under fence mode and got mad at me for going through his phone. He did eventually get over that as he should and owned up to it and apologized for hurting me. So here's my dilemma. We have a trip to Italy next week that we've been planning for over a year. At first, I was adamant that I wasn't going. I was hurt, angry, disgusted, and honestly embarrassed. But now I'm second guessing myself. the thing is I don't not want to go to Italy I've been looking forward to this trip for over a year it would break my heart to miss it as well we're doing a couple days just us on the Amalfi coast and then visiting Rome and then eventually meeting up with some of our friends take your mate five other couples where we will all rent a villa together in Puglia this actually sounds like a really nice trip sounds like a good trip well planned but take your mum just go you and your baby just take yeah yeah I'm not refusing to go because I don't want the experience.

25:32I'm refusing because I don't know how I'm supposed to get on a plane and spend over a week across the world with someone I currently don't trust. What makes us even harder is that all of this only happened a few days ago. It's so raw right now, isn't it? We still live together. We still have a son together. We still have to communicate every day about normal life. The only way I've been able to create any space is by us sleeping in different bedrooms. But I'm already noticing myself starting to soften. Not because I trust him again, not because I'm over it, but because when you share a house, a child, responsibilities and routines with someone, it's hard to stay angry 24-7.

26:09Life keeps moving. We still have to talk about dinner, daycare, the house, our son, everything else. I'm honestly scared that if I stay, I'll slowly forgive and forget like I have done with other issues in the past. Brian is insisting that I'm overreacting and blowing up our whole family over one stupid text. How dare you turn it on me? How dare you say that I'm the one blowing up the family. That is outrageous. That is actually really scary. That is very manipulative. Very scary behavior. Okay, you're going to break our family up. It's your fault. I beg your pardon? Where's the accountability?

26:47Like that's actually really scary. He is saying I'm ruining our future, destroying our family and proving that I never really wanted to fight with this relationship. But you know - Sarah, I'm going to tell you right now, this is the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard. But you know what happens, Soph? The more you're hearing that from your partner - Yeah, you're believing it. You're starting to believe it. Of course you are. They're so convinced. It's like when you're in that situation and you're being told that, but absolutely that is not the case. He chose, this is only the first thing that you've found.

27:18Yeah. If he's asking this lady to put on this fucking Viking hat naked, naked i'm sure he's done other stuff that this was an old co-worker this was someone that he probably flirted with in the office definitely fantasized about how they work together she then left he thought i'm gonna find her on linkedin i'm gonna message her asking for her number there were so many decisions that were made here that he could have turned back at any point you're then messaging really frequently the messages are then getting sexual you're then finding just don't just get sexual like like there are so many points where he could have turned around and gone no this is not the right thing to do pioneering the sexual nature of these messages as well yeah of course so the fact that pioneering that was your word it literally wasn't was it not it wasn't no i forgot we're playing the game i've literally just he just gave me a really funny look after you said pioneering you went like pioneering and i was like oh my god i forgot the game because in my head i was like why did i say pioneering i was like pioneering i struck myself with that word that was a look that I saw and I was like the game I think she forgot my word what is my word I know what mine is but I forgot what is my fucking word mate wow I really thought I had it then it just hit me like lightning that was good though well done you called me out proud of you like you locked in locked in it was just that face you made after and you went for the sip okay anyway this guy's a freak this binary that is such a good word oh that's really annoying that actually would have been great that would have been a great word yeah um he's a freak This is only the first thing that you found out about how dare he turn it on you.

28:52I think the least he deserves right now is to miss out on this Italy trip. Absolutely. He's not going on this trip regardless. You don't have to break up with him right now. Look, I understand there's a child involved. You have a home, you know, all of this. I think first step is, well, you're not coming with me to Italy. No fucking chance. I'm taking Susan. I'm taking Helen. I'm taking my mom. I'm taking my cousin. You're already going with five other mates. Like you're not coming. You are not coming. No. Like you are not coming. People will know why you're not coming. And don't, and what you say to him is, is don't fuck, when he's telling you you're ruining their, don't you fucking say that to me.

29:25No. You're the one who's fucking done X, Y, and Z with this Viking kinky bullshit with whoever the fuck from, whatever the fucking company she was from. How dare you tell me that I'm the one ruining our family and our relationship? You need to take some power back. Yeah, and you say, so first step is you're not fucking coming on this Italy trip. Susan's going to come for free. And you're going to stay at home and look after our child while you think about what you've fucking done. And while people ask... And while I think about whether I want to be with you, because I don't think I do. And when people ask me why you aren't here, I'm going to tell them.

29:58I'm going to tell them. Exactly. I'm going to tell you, mates. Yeah, tell everyone. I'm going to tell our friends because it's the truth. So do you know how much of a freak this guy is? Yeah. He's a fucking weirdo. And I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, maybe, maybe not. But if he has done this before, there may be a few husbands on that trip that know a couple things. acting like they don't know. What else then, Peter? Speak up, Peter. Speak up, Peter. Paul, you're awfully quiet. Yeah. What have you got to say? Yeah, you guys are sniggering over in the corner. Like, it's not funny. Am I giving up too quickly?

30:29Should I be staying? You should have given up before. Should I be staying and supporting him while he works on himself? Do I go to Italy and deal with this afterwards? Also, a selfish part of me is mourning all the cute outfits I bought. I love him. I really do. which is why this is so hard. I'm not scared of being alone tomorrow. I'm scared of waking up 10 or 15 years from now still stuck in the same cycle because I kept convincing myself things would eventually change. There you go. A very confused girly who suddenly wishes she was back in the No Dilemma Club. Oh, Sarah. I'm so sorry. I mean, this guy is, it's like...

31:06We've got screenshots of the text. We have a picture of him as well. Sarah, your baby is very cute. I know. Really cute family. but he needs to learn a lesson like you actions have consequences and I love you Brian and I would never do that to you so the fact that you would do this to me is there's no love there's no respect and you think I'm just going to be so forgiving because I love you and just let all these things slide like that's not okay that's not a healthy relationship and we've still not had any like you fucked up Brian now I'm leaving like this is what happens when you fuck up we've still not had any accountability exactly it's still like he's convincing you that this is your fault yeah that is really scary and also i know you say like about the other things that you've kind of let slide yeah and obviously we don't know what they are but i bet you know there was a lot of things that you could have pulled him up on and yeah you kind of let slide you know what i mean just because you want to keep the family together which i understand but sometimes you've got to respect yourself and just...

32:10But you can't just keep the family together by sweeping things under the rug. No, exactly. There has to be like, okay, well, there needs to be accept, there needs to be an admittance of fault on your behalf. We need to go to therapy. We need to talk this through. We can't just sweep this under the rug and then be like, oh, I'm over it now. No, no, no. This is on him to fix it. Doesn't even sound like he's apologizing. No. Oh, you're the one. This is so minor. Why are we even stressing out about this? he's not allowing you to make it the big deal that it is wait what this is like hard launch he's talking about something something something getting laid a lot like having sex a lot then he's saying this is a confidential convo I don't be telling people I want them naked in viking hats often lol I just did always think you were sexy just saying I should probably stop talking now a blowjob would add 10 years to my life you're married right question mark so she's like not this how are we how are we talking about blowjobs and the woman is literally like not even really replying it's all his messages and she's reacting laughy faces to it oh my and he's just trying to get something i feel like you give really good head in a great way she's saying i'm sure it would uh mate she's saying lmao that's funny yeah saying how about instead of interviewing my cousin tomorrow at 11 you interview me and nothing but a viking hat she's put she's put lmao aren't you married and what's he said to that engaged i don't be getting laid a lot though and that's a reason to go out and cheat then you disgusting idiot it's literally like she said hey it's sarah and he said oh hey about time oh my bad today was crazy how you're good totally get it are you not blah blah blah blah i haven't seen you since blah blah like he's then going straight into sex sex like that was immediate for him you freak and she's just like lmao lmao you're so fucking funny she's literally just putting lmao lmao lmao lmao aren't you married that's funny that's all she's putting yeah man and he's like yeah yeah yeah he's like yeah vikings clash of clans i'm so horny so horny you're fucking weird me you're married right i love it when i found out you were playing clash of clans i never wanted to sleep Sarah's actually stunning yeah how fucking yeah I know how fucking dare him I don't know who he thinks he is and how dare he say Sarah that it's you're the one who's breaking the family apart you're just standing on business Sarah seriously you need to embarrass this man yeah do not let him go on this Italy trip say say if you I'll be going on my Italy trip actually want to take our relationship seriously you're going to stay here think about what you've done insulting yeah you disgusting disgust whatever it is yeah And then you're going to look after our son.

35:13I'm going to go to Italy with our friends. I'm going to relax and I'm going to think about things as well. We need some separation right now. I'm going to think about whether I want to be with you or not because you're a disgusting pig. Yeah. Don't let him go on that trip. You're definitely going, but he should not be going. And don't soften, Sarah. Anytime you think of softening, pull up those messages. Read them again. Seriously. Because what a weirdo loser he is. He does not deserve your time of day.

36:50Next up, I've been engaged for a year and I've got cold feet. Oh God, get your slippers on, babe. Fucking hell, hi girls, I'm in a sticky situation. I'm in a sticky situation, that's an understatement. So to give some context I'm 25 Had one previous relationship And have been with my fiance for four years And got engaged last year in Bali Magical Do you know what? I do miss Bali Yeah We should go back It's been a while He's 28 and has had two serious relationships before me He moved in with me into my flat after nine months We clicked instantly well He's my best friend Similar interests Everything was just amazing He's into fitness Has big muscles Kind and caring Has big muscles Kind and caring And just genuinely the nicest guy I've ever met We've had ups and we've had downs In our relationship But work through them as most couples do But something feels different this time Why?

37:51What's happened? Or have you watched off campus and had a sexual awakening? I love him so much That was a great video Wasn't it? Yeah, that was really good. Everyone's just saying when he lifted up his top, that was a bit too much. Yeah, I agree. I didn't want to say it. Neither did I. But I thought, okay, like now I'm worried that you fancy yourself. And now I'm a little bit concerned. The problem is, is now I'm worried that you know. Yes. That we all love you and think you're the fittest thing in the world, but like you, but don't know it too much. Yes. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

38:26But I liked that dance move he does. I love that dance move. It was a great move. But he didn't need to race. because we get it. We've seen it. We've seen it. We've seen it in 4K. You know, we've seen it, but he got excited. He was with Kid Leroy. Everyone had the cameras out. Everyone's screaming. I understand. He is the heart for of the moment. He is. He's got to enjoy it because next season, it's all about Dean. It would be hard to stay grounded. Yeah. He's trying his best. He is. He looked great. He was great. Right. He didn't know the words though. He didn't know the words. I saw that too.

38:56He didn't know that. But why would he? Why would he? Because it wasn't playing when he was filming it. It was just overlaid. Do you know, obviously, the song. Do you know what I mean? I thought Kid Leroy was... No, no, no, but I mean, in the series, it's not like he was singing the song. That was just the music that was put on the scene, right? Whoa, whoa, wait. What were we talking about, sorry? He didn't know the words to the Kid Leroy song, but the song was in the series, right? When was the song in the series? I didn't notice that. That's why the song has become popularized again. Everyone's like, wow, he's revived Kid Leroy.

39:27He's cool again. I thought because the song is in the series that's why everyone's like about that song because that's what he danced to no oh yes at the Shakespeare night sorry yeah yeah yeah season two episode two I think that is yeah and I popped he didn't know the words also but I thought whatever but he was trying to sing along he was I was like just stop yeah just stop but we love Belmont but we love great name as well that might be my son that it's a good name it's a really good name Belmont a little bit like a hotel though Yeah, Belmond. Yeah. And also like Belle for short. Yeah. It's giving belly, you know.

40:07So, he's got big muscles. Oh, we've had ups and downs, but something feels different. So we started a business together last year. Yeah, that sticky, sticky, sticky territory. Yeah. And have been working on launching our second business for the last few months, which we have poured, each poured everything into. Oof. Okay. That's tricky. That's tricky. That's tricky. We've both quit our careers and jobs. Okay. Pressure's on. To pursue this together and have so much faith it will be a success. We also did this whilst raising a puppy, which we got last year, who was the bane and joy of my life. Chintz, I know you can relate a lot.

40:47Yeah. You guys are going to get through those first few months. So yeah, you're raising a puppy, building a business. it's probably worth noticing that i have no friends that i've i've i have had no friends for at least the last two years as well i've protected my peace too much and was done with shitty people in my life and haven't found the right people again who i want to get close to making friends like your only person right okay so so it's not even like we've got some colleagues to go and like natter with do you know what i mean it's like he's my colleague he's my fiance saying he's my best friend only friend like yeah so that's a lot so anyway more recently i've been doing a lot of networking and socializing for the new business that's great that's lovely and she says and it's opened my eyes a bit to see how big the world is i'm not big-headed but i am a pretty woman so i get quite a bit of attention which has definitely boosted the ego a bit guys guys at networking events say to me wow no wonder you're engaged you're a triple threat gorgeous successful and lovely.

41:48Oh, love that for you, Sarah. The compliments are coming in thick. Lovely. Flattering, I know. Since doing these sorts of things, it's made me reflect a lot on my current situation. Everything I have is intertwined with my fiance. My work, my socializing because we only hang out with his friends or just us two together. Being dog parents, living together, et cetera. I'm starting to feel suffocated and like I've made the wrong decision to settle so young. It's vigorous. My mind is swaying to thinking I need to be on my own and live life now. I know who I am. My frontal lobe has just developed. I was totally different when I was 21 and my fiance has shaped me into the most amazing version of myself.

42:29But I feel like I've outgrown him and now want to experience life on my own terms. There you go. You've answered it. You're answering your own question. You've just got to do it. The hardest part is just got to do it. Yeah. But then it's July, July, August, September. It's a good time. So I guess we've got the business. I know. We'll take the puppy. That's fine. You can dog share. Yeah. Here's the dilemma. I don't know whether I'm feeling like this because I'm engaging in lots of new things, lots more attention and socializing, etc. It's made my relationship feel boring or whether my feelings are legitimate and I need to put myself first.

43:07The thing is, is the thought of splitting up terrifies me as we're so connected. What would happen to the businesses? What would happen to the dog? It's so overwhelming. and I just don't know what the right thing to do is. This is probably quite a lot to unpack, but I'd appreciate any advice you have here for a very confused girl who has found a really good guy but just feels like there's more out there. I've attached some pics. I mean, I feel like you, even though it's very, very hard to do because your lives are... Sarah's beautiful. Sarah, you look good. Because your lives are so intertwined in every aspect.

43:42There's a way out of everything. It is hard to take him out of like, I'm trying to say like, remove him from the context of your lives. Like if you didn't have a business together, if you didn't live together, if you were just like, you had your own place, you had your own pet, you had your own job. He had his own place. He didn't have a pet. He had his own job. Like you had your own. If your lives weren't so connected, I feel like you probably would have broken up with him a while ago. And it's your lifestyle that is keeping you is making you scared to leave well you feel like you can't leave because it's like oh it's a lot of admin it's a lot of hassle yeah like what am I gonna do like we've started two businesses together like we've got a dog together like it's tricky but it doesn't mean that you can't you can do it anything yeah like you really can look it's just gonna be a bit tricky yeah but I feel like this is something you want to do and you can't ignore it because we know how that's not going anywhere especially when you're 25 and you've realized actually I don't want to be with this guy yeah like that's when you really need to listen to like to that yeah because if you stay with this guy up until your 30s then you're just gonna regret it seriously like you like you are like your whole everything in you is telling you you don't want to be with this guy you're just trying to convince yourself oh he's great because of like financials and the way that life has but get yourself i mean what do we have to do get a lawyer to get out of this business what we're doing here?

45:07I don't know. I mean, like you need to, I think it's things like this where you just need to think a bit more long-term. And it's like, look, if I deal with this now, think about me this time next year. Think about me in two years time. This is all going to be such an old memory. And this is going to be put just, this is all going to be behind me. You know, it's not something that you're going to be able to, it's not an easy, simple breakup. Like you just walk out the door and leave. Like you do have to get your ducks in a row. You've got to get stuff organized and sorted but does it but it was so worth it like you've still got to do it it was so worth it once it's done yeah you've just because i think like you don't want to be feeling like imagine if your fiance was going out and like getting an ego boost from other women and being like oh this feels really good to have people like complimenting me and like you shouldn't really need that validation from anyone else so imagine if he was enjoying it like you are you would be like yeah and also So more importantly, like you were 21 when you met this guy.

46:04Yeah, so young. So young. Now you're 25. Like truly that frontal lobe has finally developed and you're just over it. And that is normal and that is fine. You're not the same person you are. You're not choosing the same people you were when you were 21 as you are at 25. Some people are, yes. But things do change. And if you're not growing with him and you don't see a future with him. You guys are going to like, hopefully I would just try and keep it as like civil and friendly as possible because you've got stuff to sort out. Yeah. I would talk to like your parents, maybe talk to like your lawyer.

46:35I would even like speak to your partner about your relationship and just be like, how are you feeling about things? Like I would voice like how you've been feeling as well. Like let's start sowing the seeds of like, I'm not sure about this. Yeah. But like you're telling yourself, you don't want to be with this guy. Don't just stay with him just because you can't. Just because it's easier to stay. Yeah. Just because it's tricky to get out of. You can get out of anything.

47:05right dilemma number three you girls helped catch my boyfriend out it's like that cheetah busters girls girls girls wow she's first of all uh loved you guys for the last three years since i started listening to the pod i wanted to write in so many times but things have always felt a little too raw and i knew exactly what you girls would say deep down writing from Australia your favorite place so a bit of a backstory my partner Brian and I have been together for four years and the best way I can describe our relationship is an absolute roller coaster is that good or bad I was 20 when I met him and he was 26 I was eager for love and looking back now I don't think I even knew what being loved actually meant things started very rocky between us trust was broken before our relationship had officially even begun but i decided to push through everything happened incredibly fast we moved in together six months after meeting and only a week after he asked me to be his girlfriend a few weeks later we got a dog and a year after that i fell pregnant we had our beautiful daughter in march uh 2024 brian is an amazing dad but looking back i don't think he's been an amazing partner there have been so many highs in our relationship and so many lows.

48:29I've lost myself, lost my confidence, rebuilt myself, found myself again. You know, the same cycle kind of repeats. Brian has never physically cheated, but I do believe he has emotionally cheated and repeatedly crossed boundaries that he would be absolutely disgusted by if I had done the same. I'm curious where we come into this. There were all I've chosen to forgive, but I've never been able to forget. I think that's because deep down I've always known how this cycle goes. For the last six months he's actually been really good when it comes to social media. No searching random girls, no inappropriate videos, nothing that raised alarm bells.

49:08So is this kind of his thing is that he's double tapping the insta models, he's searching up you know bbl baddies. For the most part I've always been content but in the back of my mind I think I've always known that eventually something else would come up. Last night while he was asleep, I decided to check his phone. Instagram, clean. TikTok, clean. I feel sick. Snapchat, clean. I feel sick. I actually felt calm, relieved even. Slightly embarrassed that I was checking because I don't want to be this kind of girl. Yeah. Then I remembered something. Shut up. A few weeks ago, I was listening to one of your old episodes and you mentioned that Reddit has a lot of porn on it.

49:51Shit. I had absolutely no idea. I genuinely thought Reddit was just a random website where people posted stories and asked questions. So I checked. Shut up. His Reddit was... I'm assuming he's got an app on his phone. His Reddit was full, in capitals, of graphic porn. Shut up. Searches for specific girls, boobs, asses, everything. My stomach dropped. Shut up. At the same time, I wasn't even shocked. I knew this man found it I found exactly what I was looking for I knew this man was stupid enough to think I'd never find it and honestly I probably wouldn't have if I hadn't heard you girls mention Reddit on the pod well yeah because that was a first to us too wasn't it he woke up oh my fucking god it's a horror film now and caught me on his phone whoa he asked why are you on my phone fuck fuck fuck I said because I wanted to yeah he replied what's wrong now what have I done god this conversation in the middle of the night is like making me feel like sick to my stomach i told him he knew exactly what he'd done yeah i explained that i never would have thought to look on reddit if it hadn't have been for the podcast oh my god he hates us he literally rolled over and said oh my god i went back to sleep brian we hate you so we're in his mind that's it today he acts he's acting like absolutely nothing happened i bet he is no accountability if we ever get a troll comment use a 6100 it's this guy reddit lover 20 reddit boob lover 6 yeah we know it's you Brian I've barely spoke so today he's acting like nothing happened so it's not even like let's talk about it let me fix like he's not this guy takes no accountability I'm about to go home and I already know I'll probably get the usual speech about how we don't have sex enough and how rejected he feels for context so he's making it about him we don't have sex about two or three times a week we don't have sex so i have to go and search for boobs elsewhere i have to go and find reddit boomies i have to go find helen's boobies on reddit like come on so yeah what his excuse is we well we don't have enough sex you know that for context we are intimate two or three times a week while i'm juggling work uni being a mum and everything else life throws at me.

52:17I know that's a perfectly healthy amount in a long-term relationship, but he constantly makes me feel guilty about it. Then he wonders why I'm weird around this topic. Who is this guy? Like, I'm not just like, you can't just click your fingers and I'll have sex with you. No. Like, who are you? I'm scared that no matter what I choose, whether I stay or leave, I'll feel like it was the wrong decision. I never wanted to be a single mum. we were even talking about trying for another baby next year and now I feel like I'm grieving a future that might never happen the thing is I don't care about other men I've never wanted another man I've only ever wanted my man but I don't think I'll ever be his only Sarah I genuinely don't know if I can keep living through this cycle of betrayal her disappointment forgiveness and then finding myself right back here again and I hate hate hate that I love him so much if we didn't have a daughter I think I would have left already there were incidents after she was born where I would have walked away if I hadn't been so vulnerable how do you know when you finally reach the end of your limit and how do you walk away from someone you still love when you've spent years hoping they'll become the person you've always needed them to be oh this is like heartbreaking because it's like you know I know so you've got this vision of like this perfect family we can fall in love with potential and you're like oh yeah let's have that second baby and you know things will be better and the family will be united and he won't have to you know yeah go and look at other ladies boobies on reddit but like he's this guy is a loser like he makes you feel like shit every week it's your fault that i'm having to go watch porn because you're not having sex with me enough how about how i feel yeah i've just had a child yeah i'm a I'm busy I'm working also we're having sex like three times a week how dare you make like how do you think you are like you don't respect me you don't love me no like I I'm still thinking the best of you which is so wrong how you're awful to me but how am I still thinking the best of you confident yeah I'm still so hopeful that you're going to change and be better yeah like why am I even thinking this good of you I think you've given him enough chances I agree it sounds like Like when you gave birth around that time, he was being awful, you know, looking at porn and doing other whatever stuff.

54:37And even just like, I do think you've kind of normalized. Yeah. The fact that you're lying awake in bed at night next to the father of your child, not really feeling at ease, not feeling calm. You're feeling like I can't sleep. I need to look through this man's phone. Your nervous system is on the brink. Yeah. And like, that's not normal. And the fact that you are checking it and you're like, I don't want to have to do this. Like, I shouldn't have to be checking. this phone and like you shouldn't have to be like snooping around on instagram to see what he's been liking like how old are we like we have a child we're a family like we're not 17 like this is mental imagine how calm and at peace would have we would feel not being with this man yeah he was literally wrecking our nervous system day in day out what's he actually bringing he's bringing nothing he's bringing anxiety yeah and nerves he's he's not like what are you actually are you making my life better not at all no and look I know we didn't set out to be a single parent we fell in love we had a baby we're like we you know you we want the fairy tale we want the happy family but sometimes you've got to respect yourself and walk away otherwise you're signing yourself up to this for life forever and I know how you opened your email with like he's never done anything physically that's you already kind of like justifying it like making excuses for him like Like he's not actually physically slept with Helen, but he's locked in our boobs.

56:00You're trying to figure out like, can I forgive this? Yes. Like I'd like to, because I'd rather just stay and keep it all together. But it's again, it's like that first dilemma. Like it's not you who's breaking anything down, you know? You've tried your very best, Sarah, for years. And like you said, like you probably could have walked away way before this. This is giving like final straw. Yeah. And with us women, like there is always that final straw. It's like, actually, you know, I've forgiven and pushed it under the rug too much for the greater good of our family and trying to keep us together.

56:32But actually, like, you are breaking this family apart. Well, I think it's, you know, when you see someone for who they actually are and not who you've got them out to be in your head. That's what it is. You are in love with this man's potential and what the family could be and how great it could be. Like, that's not who he is, though. And that's not who he's been ever since you've had a baby by the sounds of it. We are probably in love with the version he was like in that first year. Yeah, at the very beginning. Do you know what I mean? Like when we first fell in love, like whoever that was, who wasn't cheating on you, who wasn't, you know, looking at other girls in that first year.

57:06That's probably who we're still fantasizing about. He'll come back. He'll come back. But he's not. I think you've got to walk away. If Karen was here, she'd probably suggest some couples therapy. Yeah. But even in this instance, I just feel like you're an ob. like no accountability I don't like him like who do you think you are sorry I think you've kind of realized that you are at the end of your tether like I know you asked that question like how do you know when you're kind of at the end kind of sounds like you're very very close if not already there yeah and you just probably want someone else to tell you to do what you know that you probably should do and it again is like dealing with it like making your current self kind of like go through the hardship so that your future self can be rewarded like that's what this is like again think about you in this time next year think about you in two years in three years like so much good stuff ahead of you it's just you've got to get through this bit and like the thing is if you want to be with this guy for the rest of your life you've then got to be okay with forgiving forgiving him every other month yeah for something he's done yeah and i don't want that life for you no like we've only got one i literally do not want that life for you i want you to go and take your child and be single and get away from this twat yeah like and you will meet someone else who will treat you way better like he just wants and you'll then realize like wow i was putting up with some bad shit like he just wants to be with you but also get up to whatever he's getting up to and have you forgive him yeah every other month and that's not okay good luck sarah you got this oh god that was we've had we need a star of the week wow first off look at this lovely face we need it give us hope glass skin wow glass skin for sure this brian is actually glowing and of course sarah looking gorge yeah we need to restore our faith yeah let's restore faith star of the week hey queens i need to nominate my boyfriend at start of the week i'm currently in arienzo beach club in positano on my birthday oh my favorite the orange sun lounges the food Ari Enzo is a classic spot oh my god you guys he brought me to Sorrento for 11 nights whoa and I have still woken up this morning to presents to wrapped presents and room decorated with decorations wrapped presents that is when you know when the presents have been wrapped with decorations he bought from home in his little suitcase king not just for this reason but he is truly the best boyfriend and just human I could ever wish for he truly does everything for me giving built in butler we've been together for almost six years and he just gets better every day everyone needs a Liam for real oh pics attached oh we love that thank you for taking our girl to Sorrento Liam what a gorgeous couple shout out Liam you know Liam we really need that this week we appreciate you I actually need that at the end the girls need to find their Liam this week don't they yeah I needed that at the end thank you Liam did you do your word fucking hell I forgot I didn't even try shit I couldn't I did mine did you what was yours vigorous shit shit I literally forgot.

1:00:10What was your word? Ruminate. You would have got me. You would have got me. That's really tricky. I should have done it. I know. Sorry, I literally, I'm too lucky. I kind of forgot. And then I don't know when I thought. When did you say it? Vigorous, actually. It's kind of easy. Yeah. Yeah. At first I thought, well, but actually I'm like that way. That was actually really easy. Ruminate. I was going to say it like, I was going to be like, oh, you've been ruminating on this, Sarah, for a while. I should have just said it. Yeah, you should have said it. Now I've said that, that sounded quite natural.

1:00:35you're like oh you've been ruminating on this decision that's hard word i know but i could have done it my bad well well done and you called me out for pioneering so you were locked in you need to call me out you've never called me out i didn't even hear you hear that say that you never called me out ever i did not even hear you say that genuinely didn't even hear you you were reading yeah was i you see yeah and i struggle with my read like i'm trying to read it well you know trying to get the words out can't think about I can't walk to the house like that.

Okay, can we all agree that hosting is so much fun? and I really do love it. Every weekend it's come over for snacks, let's make dinner together, and somehow the second you put out a fruit platter, it seems that bugs show up before your friends do. This is why I have to have my Zeevo flying insect trap.

1:03:27You plug it in and you let it do all the work. It's specially designed blue and UV light attracts the bugs you didn't know you had. And wow, did we have a lot. Like house flies, fruit flies, gnats, and then with Zeevo, bam. Next thing you know, the pests are caught in the sticky cartridge and away from your yummy treats without any mess or strong odors. The best part is the design is actually sleek and curved. So it hides the bugs it catches, keeping them out of sight. And when the cartridge is full, you just grab the no mess tab, throw it in the trash, pop in a new cartridge, and then you're done.

1:04:01No mess, no stress. So whether you're hosting a dinner party or spending an afternoon baking treats with all your friends and you want to focus on hosting and not constantly swatting at bugs, Zivo has you covered with 24-7 bug protection. Plug in a Zivo flying insect trap so you can work smarter, not harder, and actually enjoy your time at home.
