Everyone Has An Ex

What would you do, Dear Listener, if you found out something about your partner that changed the very fabric of your relationship, at a point when you felt you were too far in? Would you cut and run, or would you trust the fact you’ve now found out and try to move on? So maybe you do keep moving forward. Maybe you move forward for six years. But through and after it all, it turns out what yo...

When it comes to relationships, there are great relationships, terrible relationships, broken relationships and all those relationships in between. But there’s another kind we don’t talk about that often. Perhaps because it’s not really a relationship? It's the situationship. While not having a title, they can be just as intense, confusing, all consuming and chaotic as something...

It’s often said women have a sixth sense. Our guts are strong and can play a big part in whether we trust someone or not. But a gut instinct isn’t evidence. Can our bodies play tricks on us? We can choose to ignore, to live with the icky feelings or, we can confront them head on? That was the question Claire had to keep asking herself for almost 4 years.  Email us: everyonehasanex...

Not every relationship is perfect. Christ, none are really! But some are far less perfect than others. Unfortunately, though she didn’t really see it at the time, that was the one Alice found herself in. But she loved him. Isn’t that what we so often hear? You let things slide, you ignore the little things in pursuit of more of the great times. But what about when they’re not jus...

We all know what they say — if there are question marks or gut feelings early on in a relationship, it’s probably because it’s not the right one. Your match should be someone with who you have no doubts. It should be easy. But sometimes even the best, strongest and happiest relationships can carry secrets. Some small and insignificant in the scheme of things. But others, no matte...

Trust. It’s the pillar of any relationship — romantic or not. That’s what Indy believes. She also thinks there’s no reason NOT to give it out when you first meet someone. But others would disagree, arguing trust should be earned. That, Indy reckons, is just going into life with a negative attitude and nobody’s got time for that. So what could possibly happen to make s...

There are many great loves women can find in their lives. Best friends, sisters, ‘The One’, the one who got away and of course, the gay best friend. It really is a love like no other. And because it’s a friendship, deep and fulfilling but platonic, it doesn’t have the same pressures as a romantic relationship. Nothing could ever come between you, or change what you have. Un...

When you know, you know. That’s what they say. And that can even be true for some who meet us young as 15. That was the case for Amy and Sam. But just because you’ve known someone for more than a decade, shared a life, a home, even a child … can you ever really know anyone?

Money. We work hard for it. It can bring so much joy, especially when shared with loved ones to create long lasting memories, as was the case for Bianca. But there’s a dark side to money. Or more so how it can turn acts of kindness into entrapment and loved ones into vultures.

Acceptance. We all crave it and it makes us feel good. But it feels extra special when it comes at a time in need and from someone who you immediately fancy and this was the case when Sacha met Jay. But the thing about acceptance is that when you have it, it’s something you’re scared to lose. Even if what originally felt so good, starts to feel isolating and….off. And what once felt safe, feels ve...

The power of the sisterhood. Isn’t it glorious? Female friendships can really be the true, Great Loves of our lives. Lucy certainly felt it with her bestie, Holly. The best thing about a girlfriend? They’re there through everything. The good times and the bad, all the hurt and the heartbreaks. Unless of course, they’re the one who caused them. Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.au Follow us:...

Age differences. Do they really mean anything? You’re only as old as the person you feel, age is but a number, etc etc etc. It doesn’t matter when you’re in love, right? That was the case for Carly. She’ll be the first person to tell you age doesn’t mean a damn thing when you find your One. But whether age is the problem or not, some love stories just don’t end the way we plan. Email us: everyoneh...

A heads up: this episode deals with serious themes including domestic violence, coercive control and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.  We always hear how great a relationship is when it begins. Why else would it, right? There’s butterflies, late nights staying up talking, a sense of belonging, desire and comfort. Having that one person to plan life with and who’s just desperate to have you...

Online dating. We've all heard a story - good or bad. It’s the way of the world now. You log on, upload your best pics, think of a few witty pickup lines and get swiping. And if you're lucky, you won’t be swiping too long, because the perfect person is right there at the tap of a button - without having to even leave the couch. But how well can you really know someone before you’ve actually met th...

The blindside. A simple term, but it can mean so much. It comes in many forms. There’s of course the good sort, where the unexpected is a welcome, happy surprise. But, it can be a bad thing too. And For Sarah, there were other things she didn’t see coming. That other type of blindside that only other people experience. One that turns a seemingly dreamy life together, into a complete nightmare.  EN...

The trick to mastering manifestation is to speak what you seek until you see what you’ve said. And when the universe not only listens, but delivers, it is a truly powerful thing, which was exactly the case, for Jess. But what is more powerful than manifestation at its best, dear listener? It’s that little thing called gut feeling. When everything seems perfect, but your intuition suggests otherwis...

Young love. Remember that?! Meeting someone at your part time hospo job where you’re together every night, you start making eyes at each other and one thing leads to another - soon, you’re spending the night at their family home and having dinner with their parents. Well that’s exactly how Emily met Josh. And when you meet so young, it really only goes one of two ways. You either grow up and apart...

The age of online dating. It certainly has its ups and downs. Sure, it takes away a bit of that face-to-face connection you’d get meeting someone at a bar. But it also means you don’t have to be in the same bar as someone to meet them. There’s a whole world full of options right at your fingertips. And it allowed Sophie to meet Stelios. And it’s a normal way to meet someone. Gone are the days of b...

They say love is blind, but do we ever really listen? Because in those first precious moments with a new love, where you’re sharing stories, trading secrets and talking for hours on end, you truly think there’s nothing that will shake that unbreakable bond. And that was the case for Rachel and Ben.   But dear listener, no matter how many hours you spend talking, or how many truths be told, can you...

Love bombing. We’ve all heard of it. When, right at the start of a relationship, one party bombs the other with so much love, attention and romance, the other just can’t resist. And for Stella, there was even an added layer that it came from her high school sweetheart. But while those seemingly innocent gestures may make you feel warm and sparkly in the beginning, there’s nothing innocent about th...

Urban Myths. A story or statement that is not true, but is often repeated and believed by many. Some people believe the idea of a soul mate to be one of these urban myths. That there’s one person on this planet meant for each of us. Well according to Steve, this concept was as real as they come. But what about that other urban myth….you know the one where you put a frog in a pot of water and when...

America. The land of the free. There’s always been an unofficial rite of passage for single Aussie twenty-somethings to live it up in the country that rom-coms and Sex & The City made oh-so-appealing. But as the age old story goes, isn’t it always the way that when you plan on being single, the universe has other ideas.  But the thing about stories is that they can take on many forms. And some...

We all know the old saying “when you know, you know”- that when you find your soulmate the love grows steadily and organically, there’s no drama and things are just….easy. Well that was the textbook romance of Ali and Jules.   And when you embark on a life together filled with big dreams and endless possibilities, in the back of your mind you always know there will be challenges along the way. Mos...

A question for you Dear Listeners, Can men and women….just be friends? It’s a debate as old as time. And in any new relationship, a male best friend can be a bone of contention, which was exactly the case for Emily and Ben….when it came to Emily’s best mate, Chris.  But isn’t the main argument FOR men and women being friends that if they wanted to be together, they would be? Ben had nothing to wor...
