Ask Uncut - To Assume or Not Assume, That Is The Question

Life Uncut - A podcast by Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne

Hey Lifers! Welcome back to therapy Thursday. Producer Keeshia is filling in for Laura today because she has a big announcement coming! She's been training really hard at ninja school. We kick off this episode with asking whether you still have the exclusivity conversation with someone that you've been seeing. Is it implied or do we still need to actually chat this out?Britt gives us an update and some more details about her pre cancerous skin treatment and ask you what the silliest reason you've  Our vibes for the week are:Keeshia: wire free bralettes that go up to big cup sizes here Britt: Firefly lane on Netflix Then we jump into your questions: I have a bit of a troubled relationship with my mum. Nothing she has done has been actually problematic but we just simply don’t get along. I find her to be excessively passive aggressive, she belittles how I parent and whenever I think about going to family events or talking to her it causes me a lot of anxiety. With mother’s day coming up this weekend, I’m feeling super uncomfortable about having to be all lovey dovey and get her a gift and tell her she’s a good mum. I feel really guilty for feeling like this because I know a lot of people have it much worse. I’m meant to be taking my two kids to see her on Sunday for mother’s day and I just feel so uncomfortable. Does anyone else feel like this? What should I do? I've been in a committed relationship with my partner for just over a year now. But... My question is about knowing about his past relationships. At the start, in our dating phase, I never really asked him questions about his ex's (how long they were together, how serious it was, if they met his parents/family, why they broke up, how they met, etc). Now we're deep into our relationship and I feel nothing but secure with him, so it feels odd to bring it up ... But I still catch myself being curious about his past relationships and I just want to know. Maybe it comes from an insecurity deep down in me cos I really don't like the thought of him being with other girls in the past. I don't know? Is it normal to want to know or does wanting to know only stem from insecurity? Do I need to know? Should I ask & if so, how? I have been talking to a guy for months now and we just recently went on 2 dates. He seemed genuine and in my eyes we seemed to get along really well. Although then one day he just stopped replying. Is it reasonable to ask them why they stopped replying or just forget about it and move on?If you have a question, send it in to our InstagramYou can join the facebook group here and follow us on tiktokTell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xx  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
