10. Episode 10 - Barbecues, Birthdays, BETRAYALS
42:04||Season 1, Ep. 10In this, the last story of our first season, we meet Rosy; 43 years old, married with a family, living a nice, normal life. Except she isn’t, she’s living a lie and keeping a huge, devastating secret from her husband. Unforgiveable confessions flow and we are left feeling horrified for him. The huge twist that follows leaves everyone in shock, betrayal comes in many forms and this time it is Rosy on the receiving end. What do you do when you discover something you are not supposed to know, from a person you are not supposed to be with? Listen to find out whether we manage to reach agreement on the most shocking listener submission yet...Listen to the audio version on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Deezer and anywhere you get your podcasts.

42:12||Season 1In our Tuesday episode we revisit Chloe - what did you think? A heartbreaking reminder of their own story for some, an exhausting display of immaturity for others. We discuss the triumphs - and gifts - of a break-up. Yes, they're really there!We discuss dating escape plans: no, not cosy weekends but how you do a runner if it's not working out! There is a definite divide between the practicalities of this for men and women and we have a plea for help to navigate this entire area! We hear you, and Harry is on it.....Finally we glimpse a bit of homework Emma actually enjoyed (wonders will never cease) and we look forward with a bit of trepidation to what is likely to be an explosive next episode!Thanks for sticking with us - we appreciate you all and every comment is gratefully received!Big Hug x9. Episode 9 - Moving Up/Moving Out
38:23||Season 1, Ep. 9Our story this week comes from Chloe and - as so often - it’s one that will feel familiar to many of us: Chloe and her partner, Josh, are a couple who were moving comfortably towards marriage and starting a family, living in their first home together, working hard to make their dreams a reality. Everything seemed right. But when Josh gets a promotion, things change, Chloe takes a back seat as his career fills his life. It often happens - and we often choose to temporarily make way for a partner's career, especially if it means more money for family and home. But when Josh's focus shifts from work to a colleague, however, their relationship changes - and it’s not just the house renovations which grind to a halt. Listen in to find out what happens.Listen to the audio version on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Deezer and anywhere you get your podcasts.

34:07||Season 1, Ep. 8In this week's episode we hear from Eliza - and we really wanted to tell this story because we think it'll resonate with so many of us. A successful, secure person, Eliza is still troubled by the thought that life is somehow passing her by. At 35, she's tired of seeing all her friends happily settled down - and social media just rubs salt in the wound daily, with endless picture-perfect engagement and baby announcements. She always says she's happy - and most of the time she is. But deep down, she wonders when it will be her turn... Add the usual family pressures and the seemingly unavoidable dating apps and it's a recipe for an awful lot of angst which so many of us have felt. So we're going to explore why we feel the pressure to relentlessly pursue those life milestones - and we discover that 35 is NOT an age to be giving up!Listen to the audio version on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Deezer and anywhere you get your podcasts.
