Life Uncut

Welcome back to to therapy Thursday!

Today we're kicking it off with some wedding chat about Britt's sister's wedding(s) and ho breaking the fourth wall is becoming the best type of reality TV we can consume!

Then we're jumping into these questions:

• I’ve been with my partner for 9 years and have 2yr old twin boys.10 years ago I had a one night stand with the local fuck boy and my partner has recently found out about it (I didn't cheat. It was before we were together). Now he doesn't seem to be able to get over it. I’ve told him I just want to move on from it, and that while I do care, I’m not responsible for his emotions about this. Am I being selfish to want to put that in the past and forget about it? Or do I need to be more sensitive to his feelings?
• I've been with my boyfriend for almost four years now. I love him very much. I have always struggled to make friends as I'm pretty introverted and have always seemed to gravitate toward male friends. Since moving back to my home town I've made a really nice guy friend at my gym. It's purely platonic but he is single and keen to hang out outside of the gym. We get along super well and he knows that I have a partner. I would love to hang out with him more but Im super worried my partner will get jealous. Is it weird to have male friends when you are in a serious relationship? If not how do I approach this with my partner
• To what extent do you have a say about your partner getting a tattoo you don’t like?

Lifers, today we have one of the toughest but most moving interviews that we have ever aired. Meet Bianca, the sister of a beautiful woman named Katie who was murdered by her partner 3 years ago. This type of harrowing story seems to be all too common in Australia at the moment, and we feel as though the only way to change the domestic violence landscape is to speak about it.

What started as “the happiest” Katie’s family had ever seen her, led to what they described as ‘childish jealousy’ and eventually her brutal murder. In this episode we learn about the warning signs that Katie’s partner displayed of troubling behaviour, coercive control and stalking. Bianca also speaks about how domestic violence has affected her entire family. In this ep is some great information about how to actively help someone experiencing family violence and organisations that can help.

Happppy Thursday lifers! Holy smokes it comes around quickly dunnit!

Starting with some cracker accidentally unfiltered’s and ‘can’t believe they said that’s’ before jumping into a meaty and ever so insightful topic, conflict styles.

We’ve spoken about love languages and attachment styles in the past and we think this is a really great way to complete the conversation and tie them all in together.

The 5 conflict styles we discuss are

-Conflict avoiders

-volatile couples

-validating couples

-hostile couples

-hostile-detached couples.

These are so important to understand about yourself and your partner so you can work towards a happier, healthier relationship.

So, which one are you!?

You can do your own conflict style test here

It’s another episode of Bachette Uncut brought to you by the gasiest of couples - Matty J and Laura (this joke will make sense when you hear the start of the ep). The show kicks off with Holly dancing her way into a single date with Brooke where they literally.... dance the whole time. NO MORE DANCING HOLLY! They have a beautiful honest conversation about sexuality and identity, which is topped off with a rose and kiss. Just before Holly can break out the Samba one last time - it’s time for the group date!

As per all group dates of late, it’s a weird mix of whatever the prop department has laying around channel 10. This week is a jumping castle compatibility game complete with ropes, love hearts and scissors. It’s seriously a miracle that everyone made it out of this date alive. Emily was crowned most compatible, which proves these games are a total waste of time. Not a whole lot happens at the cocktail party except for Darrrrvid getting a kiss that went on for 10 min - yes this actually happened.

Ep 4 saw everyone’s favourite contestant finally get a single date - that’s right it’s the hunk a spunk Konrad! They have a pamper date organised, which just involves Konrad taking his clothes off and being rubbed in oil on a massage table (well played Brooke). They kiss and cry (happy tears) and kiss and cry and kiss.. then cry.. followed by some more kissing and crying. To be honest, I’ve never seen a couple kiss and cry so much on a date but I’m not complaining - it’s beautiful.

The group date is a go-kart race that involves folding Osher’s washing and organising his Christmas decorations. I swear we’re not making this up! Carissa wins because she’s a pro at untangling fairy lights but all she gets is a friendship peck from Brooke. Awkies! Just when we were starting to learn everyone’s name, production decided to throw in intruders - four of them! All the OG’s freak out and turn on Osher as they begin looting the mansion - they only stop when police are called to break up rioting (this last part is made up).

Hello Lifers and welcome back to one of our favourite 'T' Day's of the week, Tuesday... which is also LIFE UNCUT day!

Straight off the bat Britt is well and truely back in the dating game Halle- f*king -lujah, and praise be to the love Gods.

We do the mandatory Bach chat, unpack last weeks episodes and get to the bottom of Areeba's ham sandwich. Followed by our favourite part of the episode - Accidentally Unfiltered.

In what fun ways has your upbringing messed you up? Today we get deep and introspective and chat about attachment styles and Attachment Theory. Attachment styles are important they form how we make bonds with our romantic partners and they are heavily linked to our parents and our upbringing. Some might call it Daddy issues, we call it attachment Theory!

We unpack our own attachment styles and you can too by taking this test:
