Ask Uncut - WE'RE BACK! Plant Gate Has Entered The Chat
Hey Lifers! WELCOME BACK! We missed you so much! We're kicking off 2025 with our new schedule so Ask Uncut will now be dropping on a Monday morning (Aus time).Britt's year did not get off to the best start and Keeshia is in the naughty (plant) corner. Vibes for the week: Keeshia: Jerry Springer. Fights, Camera, Action on Netflix Laura: Mudbound film on NetflixBritt: I'm Not a Monster - The Shamima Begum Story Then we jump into your questions! NEW BF JUST HAD A BABY WITH PREVIOUS ONE NIGHT STANDI have been seeing a guy for the past 8 months. One of his previous one night stands reached out to him a few months into dating and said that she was pregnant. We decided to continue seeing each other and it was going fairly well. The baby was born a few weeks ago and I am struggling to be positive and supportive. Do you think that it would be best to let a new father sort out his relationship with his baby and baby mum before we focus on a relationship? Or could it happen simultaneously? I THINK I SLEPT WITH MY NEW HINGE MATCH’S BROTHERI have matched with someone on hinge and in my pre-stalking I’ve realised I actually have slept with his younger brother about 8 years ago....do you think it’s a big deal? They are a close family so don’t know whether to just stop talking to him now or keep pursuing and hope he doesn’t care when it comes up eventually? I THINK I HATE MY PARTNER’S CATI’ve been with my partner for 2 years now. We live together and I know he’s my penguin. However there is just one problem. His cat. Don’t get me wrong I am the BIGGEST animal lover, and I would like to think of myself as quite a patient person, but I have tried for our entire relationship to bond with this cat and while there have been some moments, the majority of it has felt transactional and filled with a lack of unconditional love that you’d get from a dog - which I’ve grown up with. He also constantly meows and often when I try to show love he scratches and bites. It’s actually at the point where I become anxious from the constant meowing. It’s eating well so that’s not the issue, and the cat is 3 years old and well trained. My partner absolutely adores this cat and it’s recently become apparent to him that I don’t quite feel the same. However I am at the point where I actually cannot stand it. Idk what to do? Pls help! FRIEND HAS BEEN LYING ABOUT SOMETHING – IS THIS A BIG DEAL?My best friend of 5 years has just told me that ever since we’ve been friends she’s been lying and that her ‘younger brother’ is actually not her brother. She told me he was her biological brother, he has the same mum but he didn’t speak with their mum and lives with his dad and step mum. This whole time she has referred to him as her brother and even when I have asked about their mum she would say something along the lines of “he prefers to be with his step mum”. She said she told me when she was drunk and just kept the lie going but it got too far to say anything so she never did. He is now apparently just ‘like a brother’. She said now that she is about to get married she doesn’t want me to question it at the wedding and thought it was time to fess up. I don’t know how to feel. It doesn’t feel that deep but at the same time, I’ve been lied to by my best friend for 5 years so it feels quite icky and a bit weird. So my question is, should I be mad/upset about this or is it not that deep? In the past I feel like she does tend to lie a bit as I have caught her out before about something else.

Matt Has A Very Big Announcement!!! Ask Uncut with Matty J and Laura
Hey Lifers!Today's ep is with our favourite mum and dad. We start this ep by bickering about driving and scraped rims... as every married couple would. Matt has a particularly exciting announcement for us and Laura was not initially happy about it! They speak about their future plans and whether they're both on board to have a 3rd kid. Then they jump into some questions for them and some ask uncut questions! Is Laura the breadwinner? If so, how does Matt feel about that? How early on in the bach season did Matt know that he was going to choose Laura? Are you friends with any of your exes? Navigating friendships if you become a parent Knowing what you know now as a parent, would you go back and change anything? Do you think that one person loves the other a bit more in a relationship? Have any of you had botox? How do they feel about the paparazzi Ask Uncut questions: I AM PREGNANT AFTER A ONE NIGHT STAND. SHOULD I TELL HIM?I had unprotected sex after a wedding with another guest and have since found out that I’m pregnant. Whilst the guy is lovely, it’s not a long term match given locations and jobs so I plan on terminating. Would you want to know? Should I tell him? And if so what is the best way to do so? DWINDLING SEX DRIVE - AM I THE PROBLEM?My husband and I have been together for 8 years (married for the last 3). We don’t have kids but have been through some major life obstacles in the last few years both to do with our careers as doctors and a change in work life balance. We are balancing working long days, having opposing days off and having to study outside of work for exams etc to advance in our careers. Our sex life has suffered and now it feels like more of a chore these days. On the rare occasion we do get intimate,I have found that I am disinterested in the act all together including doing anything sexual on my own. This is not the first time in a relationship that sex has dwindled for me over time and I’m starting to wonder if I even have the capability to sustain sexual lust in a long term relationship in general. Is this possible or is what I am experiencing common or am I the problem?

Summer Ask Uncut with Britt and Ben!
Hey Lifers! Today’s special ask uncut comes from our favourite fiances Britt and Ben! First up, they answer a few questions about how it’s been seeing each other again, wedding plans, kids in the future etc! Then they jump into your questions! MY HUSBAND DOESN’T APPRECIATE MY COOKINGMy husband & I have a 6 month old baby. I’m a stay at home mum and he works full time. I make dinner every night which is always hard cooking with a baby as my husband doesn’t get home until 6.30 when we’re about to eat. Last night I made dinner like usual and in conversation I said do you like it? He responded ‘ahh it’s alright’ but said it in a way that he wasn’t impressed. This offended me as I put a lot of effort in, while juggling our baby. I would’ve been happy with just toast for dinner but I put in the effort just for him. He thinks it’s ok to be honest and that he thought the dinner was just ok. My question is.. if someone makes you something such as dinner.. is it ok to be honest and say you didn’t really like it? Or be appreciative that someone put in the effort and just say it was good! I asked him if he was at our friends house would he say something they made was just ok? He said no but because this is his home he thinks it’s ok to be honest MY FRIEND HASN’T TOLD HER NEW BOYFRIEND THAT SHE CHEATED ON HER EXShould my friend tell her new boyfriend the reason that her and her ex husband split was because she cheated? They’ve been together 6 months and she still hasn’t told him and is doubting she will but I think she’s crazy because he will eventually find out (shit gets around) and I think he will be pissed off that she wasn’t honest with him. I’VE FALLEN FOR HIM BUT HE SAID HE SEES ME LIKE A SISTERI have known this guy for 5 years + and he's been there through breakups, graduation, my mum’s cancer and as of recent my mum’s passing/ funeral! My mum loved him and he promised her he would protect me. He's always so active in my life and helping everywhere possible - since all this has happened I now think I'm falling for him but he says he sees me as nothing but a sister. He's 30, l'm 24. Am I just wasting my time or is there something I can do? Also Brit how do I get rid of the feeling as I feel the guy should always pursue you, not the other way around? I KISSED ANOTHER GUY. DO I TELL MY LONG DISTANCE BOYFRIEND?I’ve been with my partner for about 3 years, like Britt and Ben we are long distance with him living overseas. We have a great relationship but I haven't seen him for 3-4 months. I made a huge mistake and kissed someone recently on a night out. It meant nothing and I immediately regretted it and felt so guilty. I know it will never happen again. I worry if I tell him it will ruin everything and he may break up with me. Knowing I will never do it again and it was a mistake, do I tell him or can I just keep it to myself and pretend it didn't happen? SHOULD I COMMIT TO HIM WHEN HE’S 8 YEARS YOUNGER?So I have been seeing this guy off and on for a year and last night he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend. I’ve been searching for love for years now so this should have made me the happiest girl ever. He’s very into me and has told me and shown me as such. The thing is, he’s 8 years younger than me. I’ve reached an age where I hope my next partner is my last (I want to have kids and time is ticking). I like him and we get along great and have similar goals and values but I guess my question is, how do you know?
