Hey lifers

Statistically (and you know we love a study), this time of year is the most common time to break up and kick start a rebound relationship so today we are unpacking the good, the bad and the ugly of rebound relationships. It's a bit of a nostalgic one because it's just the two of us taking a big deep dive on when we were rebounded with and when we've done it to others.

We talk:

-What rebounds look like if you're the rebounder or the reboundee

-How long it takes to get over an ex

-How rebounds can be really great

-How they can transition from a rebound into an actual relationship

But firstly, have you heard of milestoning? If you're single, there's a good chance you're doing it right now. We get into some new dating terms and trends and frankly, Britt needs to take a bit of a look at herself because she's doing pretty much all of them!

If you've listened all year and you haven't done so yet, we'd really love it if you took 30 seconds to leave us a review on apple podcasts or a star rating on spotify!

Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xx

ASK UNCUT - Feeling DICKappointed?

Hey Lifers,

We've spoken a lot about whether or not we're into 'nice' guys, but what about the available guys? Are we okay with the nice guy as long as they've got a bit of a chase to them?

We unpack.

Then we jump into your deep, dark and burning questions:

-Is withholding a pregnancy deceitful? I'm up for a promotion at work that I think I deserve and will get, but it's for a 2 year contract. Should I tell my employer that I am in the early stages of pregnancy given that if I get the job, I won't be able to work the whole contract out

-I met someone very special this year, however it has been a rollercoaster since we met (my dad died, I had an abortion, I moved overseas). He is also overseas now too but he has recently gone off to do his own thing. He said he loves me very much and wants me in his life but he doesn’t know to what extent right now. I love him so much and I keep coming back to this thought that he is “the one”. Is this naive? How do you know if someone is the one? I know I can be okay on my own but I want him in my life.

-Is it normal to not be able to get over your ex's dick?

I was in a relationship for 2 years and he had the greatest penis. Now whenever I sleep with someone I can't seem to be disappointed by theirs and I keep comparing it to my ex's.

Is this normal?

Can I get over this?

Ask Uncut- The Mindful Orgasm

Hey Lifers,

First up today, Laura wants to know how she can get even more lazy when it comes to getting to O town. Apparently you can have orgasms by using just your mind.

We investigate.
Then we jump into your deep, dark and dirty questions:
-I met this guy out at a bar a few weeks ago and we went home together later that night. After stalking him on socials I figured out he has a fiancé and a baby.
I confronted him about it and he said they were engaged but decided to call it off and just be friends just before the baby was born. However, they haven’t told anyone this as her family are religious and they are trying to navigate the situation, they still live together. I told him I can’t continue to see him unless either he can prove to me, he isn’t in a relationship or unless he tells her about me. He said he doesn’t know how to prove it and isn’t ready to tell her unless he knows if we are ‘going somewhere.' I really like this guy; sex was amazing and there is definitely something there but my gut tells me he is lying. Should I cut it off with him now before I get any more invested?
-I have 2 guys on my radar, one I met online a while ago, we clicked, crazy chemistry, then he went travelling for a few months but we kept in contact regularly calling etc. I was looking forward to when he comes back (in 2 weeks) and was intending on giving it a shot with him. I’m the meantime my long-time friend from high school who we’ve been back and forth liking each other, expressed he has very strong feelings for me, initially I was thinking no but now I have strong feelings for him and the other guy, I’ve been indecisive for a ages and have no idea how to decide what the right thing to do is, do I not date anybody cause I can’t give them my full attention or do I just flip a coin?

-I’m getting married next year and I don’t know if I want my dad to walk me down the aisle. One - I don’t feel totally comfortable with the concept of the father giving the bride away. I feel it’s a bit outdated and low key gives me the ick. Two- my dad & I have a good relationship but we aren’t super close.
What are your thoughts on the bride walking down the aisle solo and how I should approach the conversation with my dad?
-I am getting married next year in Fiji.
My nearest and dearest are invited. One of my invited guests has had someone who I don’t really know nor particularly like invite herself on the holiday...
I know it’s a public place but it just makes me uncomfortable as I am in Fiji to celebrate my wedding. Am I in my right to politely ask that she not come or is she entitled to come if she pleases?
