Picture this: you’re the funny guy. The class clown who’s always been keen on the cool girl but it hasn’t really gone the other way. Until that is, you grow up to become a professional comedian. Then all of a sudden the cool girl starts paying attention to you. Then imagine you start dating. You stop seeing anyone else. You spend every weekend together. You get pretty serious. Then you get really serious and your world is thrown into absolute turmoil by one little text message. Email us:...

Travelling after a break up with a group of your besties. There’s nothing better. Sightseeing and sampling local cuisines, without a care in the world. And you know what makes it even sweeter? A holiday romance. That’s exactly what happened to Sarah. Except this holiday fling went a little further. So what happens when you get engaged to someone you’ve never lived with? Someone from the other side of the world, an entirely different culture, with completely different values? And how far would...

It’s the 2020’s, dear listeners. We know love stories these days don’t come from spotting each other across a room, a surprise flower delivery from a secret admirer, nor an introduction from a friend. No. Romances these days are made on reality TV. Like Jake and Megan’s. But the thing about these types of romances, is that when the cameras stop rolling and the actual reality of life takes over, what you thought was paradise can very quickly turn into complete pandemonium.

In part one of this two-part bonus episode, Georgia teams up with Beauty Editor Joanna Fleming and beauty newbie, Hannah Furst, from Adore Beauty's 'Beauty IQ Uncensored' podcast. And as it turns out, beauty and break-ups have a lot in common. In our chat, Hannah dishes up one of her ex stories and we learn about "Zombie-ing" - a new dating term that takes "ghosting" to another level. We also delve into beauty post-breakup, how to combat those puffy eyes from when you’ve shed a few tears...

Long distance relationships. For those who have ever had one, you know it can be hard work. There’s a lot of lonely nights, long phone calls, planning and travelling. But there’s also that excitement factor when you get to see that person you love after a few long weeks apart. And for Stacey and Jack, they had it all down to a fine art. And while it’s nice to think that absence makes the heart grow fonder, there’s always that element of not really knowing what your person is doing when you’re...

Easy. That’s the description you look for to know a relationship is right. It’s easy. There’s no fighting, no games, no questions. It just works. That was Elise and Simon's relationship in a nutshell. Well, for a part of it anyway. And while easy is good, is it really all you want? Because with ease often comes…well, complacency. And, dear listener, as we well know with complacency comes a whole host of other problems. Email us: [email protected] Follow us: @everyonehasanex...

First love. You think that’s usually a statement reserved for young couples, but that’s certainly not always the case. For some people, like Jan, it takes much longer to meet The One. Like, 59 years. But when she did meet him, she couldn’t believe her luck. But often when something seems too good to be true… that’s because it is.

Meet Matt. 49, father of three boys, one time architect turned full time stay-at-home Dad. With his wife out kicking massive career goals and Matt and the boys kicking it at home, life was pretty good. But, you often hear when all the kids are grown up and off at school, the stay-at-home parent loses themselves a bit. Well, that certainly doesn’t just go for stay-at-home mums, but the dads too. And sometimes it’s not just themselves they lose. Email us:...

Every relationship has its ups and downs. Whether you’re Jane and Joe Blow or Prince Harry and Meaghan Markle, no relationship is perfect. Except Rachael and Matt’s. They were in their 30s, both totally secure in who they were and what they wanted, loved each other’s friends and family and had total open communication from day dot. The recipe for a great, long, strong partnership. So how then in the space of 6 months, did it go from being a blissful, love-up lifestyle to claiming you'd rather...

When it comes to relationships, you often hear that the best ones are based on a solid friendship. One where you have each other’s back, tell each other everything and glide through life’s trials and tribulations in unison. And that was exactly the case with Olivia and Alex. But what happens when what has always felt like home, starts to feel completely foreign? When you can’t quite put your finger on what’s changed or why? And when that one person who once told you everything, locks the...

Weddings. One of the most special times in one’s life. The occasion that marks a lifelong commitment to the one you love. When families unite and two become one. Promising to make each other happy for the rest of your lives, sticking together through thick and thin, in sickness and in health. After Seven blissful years together and an 18 month engagement, everything was set for Ben and Amy to say their vows and finally be husband and wife. So what was it that got in the way of their magical...

When you know, you know. How many times have we heard those words in reference to meeting THE ONE, The love of your life, your lobster... or in Kate and Josh’s case, your LOMFL (that's Love Of My F**king Life for those playing at home). But what happens when that impenetrable love bubble is burst by an all-consuming seductress that’s more powerful than love itself? No, it’s not another woman. It’s not even another man. It was something much, much darker. Email us:...

Falling in love. There is no greater feeling. What starts slowly, suddenly happens all at once...and then bang. You have it. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, all-consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love. Now, we might joke about love being inconvenient, but for Jaimie, that's exactly what it was. A love that was so inconvenient she had to quit her job, move countries, combat racism and defend the man she loved against pre-conceived stereotypes to those closest to her. A clash of...

The Australian dream. Your own home, a loving husband and two beautiful children all by the age of 30. That is the dream… right? Well sometimes, even for those who DO dream of exactly that, even when they’ve got it, it still doesn’t feel quite right. This is the story of Kate. Despite having everything she thought she’d ever wanted, she always felt there was something missing. Now of course she eventually found that something. But no one - not Kate, not her husband, nor her family and friends...

Kate and Toby were that couple whose life-long dreams mirrored each other’s from the moment they met. They had laid the foundation for the perfect house, the perfect lifestyle and just the right number of children.
