  • Ask Uncut - He Cheated On The Annual Boys Trip & Wants To Go Again
    Apr 27 2025

    Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack your deep, dark and burning questions!

    Then we get into your questions!

    BF CHEATED ON BOYS TRIP
    I have a no win situation- my partner cheated on me last year on an annual boys trip and we worked really hard to move on. He’s just started talking about where he will be going for this year's trip and I’m devastated!! I don’t want to tell him not to go because I don’t think that it’s right to tell someone what they can or can’t do, but I’m so disappointed that he’s choosing to still go after what happened last year. How do I deal with this?

    MY BOYFRIEND WON’T STOP PLAYING WITH MY BREASTS
    How do I ask my boyfriend to stop playing with my breasts when I'm trying to relax or trying to clean? He adores them, which is great, but they are very sensitive, especially before my period, and I occasionally get turned on when he does it. This is not so good when I'm trying to wash dishes, brush my teeth or literally just watch the tennis! I don't want him to think I don't like it but I’m not sure how to approach the topic around timing?

    DO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS DESERVE TO MEET MY BABY?
    I’m currently 6 months pregnant with my first baby. It’s taken my partner and I over 5 years to fall pregnant so it’s a huge deal for us and we’re over the moon for this next chapter. I have, however, noticed that throughout my pregnancy there is a lack of people in both of our lives who seem to want to even be involved in this new chapter with us. I have various friends who have dropped off the radar since finding out I’m pregnant and who have not once checked in to see how I’m going. My partner also has family members who have also not messaged once to ask how we are after we announced or even ask how our pregnancy is going. Everyone seems to comment on how excited they are to meet the baby and have a nephew, grandchild, cousin etc. I’m feeling really upset. I’m of the mind that once our baby has arrived, these people who weren’t there for us during the pregnancy shouldn’t get an open invite to meet our child straight away, if at all…How would you look at approaching this with them and what would you do in this situation?

    DO I TELL HIM I KNOW HE’S GOING TO PROPOSE?
    I've been with my partner for almost 4 years. We have always spoken about getting married and wanting kids and when we first started dating he told me he would propose within 2 years. Our anniversary is coming up next month and I'm pretty convinced he is going to propose on our anniversary because I've seen emails from the jeweller and texts to my mum about it on his phone. I haven't gone looking for information or taken his phone, it just always happens to be the case that these notifications come up when I'm sitting right next to him. I feel bad for knowing this information because I've always told him you'll never be able to truly surprise me because in another life I feel like I worked for the FBI. I want to be genuinely surprised when he does it but not sure that will be the case. Should I tell him that I know he’s going to propose?

  • We're Cross Continental. Is taking your partners last name anti feminist?
    Apr 15 2025

    Ciao Lifers!

    We're coming to you from 3 different locations today. Britt has finally been reunited with Ben in Italy and she's caused a stir about dipping croissants in coffee.
    Laura has a positive update about her ovarian cyst. We have a chat about it not being 'normal' to be in pain and how it can be quite anxiety inducing to receive a 'wait and see what happens' type of diagnosis.

    Should we be giving babies their mother's surname? There's an Italian politician who has proposed a law that would automatically give babies their mother's surname at birth. Britt's still making up her mind of what both her and her husband to be will do with their surnames when they get married. Laura questions why it's such a 'norm' for us to not even think about giving kids their mum's last names.

  • Ask Uncut - We Judge and We Don’t Listen
    Apr 13 2025

    Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack your deep and burning questions.
    We recorded this a few days early as Britt is currently on her way to Italy to have a very close quarters catch up with her fiance, sister, brother in law and niece!
    We’ve really realised that we are in the next age bracket with our vibes this week!

    Then we get into your questions!

    HUSBANDS MUM HAS HIS LOCATION SETTINGS ON
    My husband’s mum has his location settings on, so basically she is able to track him at all times. She isn’t necessarily controlling or making a big deal about it but I often hear her saying things like “I saw you were at the pub the other night” or “why were you at work on Saturday”. It makes me feel a certain way. I just find it a bit odd but I feel like I can’t really just ask him to turn it off because she’ll ask questions and I don’t want it to come back on to me. I guess my question is, am I being ridiculous to be annoyed at this?

    HOW DO TWO AVOIDANTS MAKE A RELATIONSHIP WORK?
    I’m 29 and have finally got my hands on the man I've been plotting about for 10 years. We’ve always had a strong connection, but life has led us in different directions over the years. We’ve been seeing each other as exclusive ‘fwb’ for the last year, but things have evolved recently. We spend hours chatting, planning our future, our communication is great, and we’re super compatible. The spark is strong; it may as well be fire. But we have both realised that we have avoidant attachment styles, which has prevented us from going ‘all in’. Recently, we’ve both admitted that we’re in deep and would like to try to be together. So my question is, how do ‘regular’ people do this? I can’t get my head around how to ‘be’ a girlfriend.. and what that might mean for my sense of self, and my lifestyle. I’m hyper independent, falling in love and absolutely terrified.. Help!

    IS IT WEIRD FOR BRIDAL PARTY WEDDING TO SLOW DANCE?
    What’re your thoughts on a bride making the bridesmaids and groomsmen slow dance together at the start of the night? My boyfriend is in a wedding this afternoon and he has to slow dance with his partner for 5 MINUTES!! Is this normal, am I overreacting that I find this weird? My heart rate is resting at 120 right now, I'm that anxious.
