Ask Uncut - Shared Toothbrushes Are NOT a Relationship Milestone & A Heartbreak That Came Out of Nowhere

5/31/202650 min

Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions!

Vibes of the week:

Then it's into your questions!

Q1: MY BOYFRIEND HAS BEEN USING MY TOOTHBRUSH. REGULARLY.
Six months in, she catches her boyfriend putting her toothbrush back in the holder. He casually says, "I thought we were at that stage." She was so shocked she didn't react. Now she has the biggest ick of her life and doesn't know how to bring it up.

Q2: OUR FRIENDS COPIED OUR ENTIRE RENOVATION
After years of work, late nights, and an enormous amount of emotional labour, her renovation is done and she loves it. Then her friends started their reno, asked a lot of very specific questions — and have now copied the whole thing. Right down to the tiles, stones and room colours. Her husband doesn't see the issue. She does.

Q3: I THINK MY BOYFRIEND MIGHT BE SECRETLY RICH AND HIDING IT FROM ME
Eight months in, she loves him and can see a future with him. But he's weirdly intense about splitting everything to the dollar and she's accidentally seen investment account balances, a large transfer, and a land tax invoice on his kitchen bench. He's never mentioned any of it.

Q4: FIANCE BROKE OFF ENGAGEMENT AFTER ‘FALLING OUT OF LOVE’
They'd been together four years, engaged for one. Both mid-20s. This was her first relationship and therefore her first heartbreak. He told her he'd been dealing with doubts internally for months before finally saying he'd fallen out of love and ending the engagement. She moved back home to her mum's. They've had three weeks of no contact and it's killing her. She still loves him and wants to know: can people fall back in love?

  1. Laura Byrne· Host0:00

    [upbeat music] Hi, guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Laura.

  2. Brittany Hockley· Host0:13

    I'm Brittnee, and this is Ask Uncut, where we answer your deep, your dark, and your burning questions.

  3. Laura Byrne· Host0:18

    Keisha, you just missed this. You stepped outside to try and fix a little technical issue that we seem to be having at the moment. [laughs] And Brittnee just scampered off the screen, and she was, like, outside doing something. So, like, obviously, if you're just joining us, we're doing distance records. Britt's over in Italy, we're here in the studio in Sydney. So Britt, you left the screen, and then I hear a blood-curdling scream. [laughs] A scream that was so outrageously like someone's dying, and I sat here and didn't even flinch, 'cause I knew exactly what was going on. Do you know anybody else who is as obsessed with scaring their partner as what Ben and Britt seem to be? [laughs] I don't quite understand it.

  4. Keeshia Pettit· Panelist0:55

    I don't either. It's kinda weird to me. [laughs] And I love you so much. You're literally one of my best friends in the whole world, but I've never understood it. You're 38.

  5. Brittany Hockley· Host1:04

    [laughs] [laughs] You know what it is? Usually, I love trying to scare Ben, because he... You know why? It's one of those, like, challenge accepted things. He always says he's really hard to scare, and he takes a lot of pride in the fact that I can't do it. And sometimes when I scare him, it's the tiniest little jump, but he tries to show no fear. So I've taken it as, like, my personal life mission to scare him, so I'm always hiding in different places. And sometimes
