Easy To Say

In this episode, we debate if our writer has an issue with standards:

"I had a friends gathering recently at a friend's house, which was a 10-minute walk away from my place. It ended quite late, & my husband said he would walk over to pick me up. My friends invited him in for a drink, but he refused & he waited at the main road. My friends were all extremely shocked at his behaviour! Do I just have low standards? I'm fine w...

In this episode, we talk about facing the most dreaded thing any couple can face:

"I have been with my partner for a good number of years. We have built a home. We are blissfully in love, even after 15 years. And I love that we are in this relationship because we want to and not that we needed to. Recently, I received news on a diagnosis while we had bravely faced it together and had good conversations on it, a part of me worries a...

This week, we give advice on a sensitive topic:

"My best friend from school is getting married later this year. Recently, I found out through social media that she has a bridal party and I'm not in it. This was surprising and hurtful to me, as she mentioned a while ago that she wasn't planning on having a bridal party or bridesmaids. I'm still planning on attending the wedding, as I've already booked my flights and schedule...

Not all places hold good memories, as today's question proves: 

"Hi. I'm queer, and my partner (they/them) gets very triggered that I often avoid places that my exes and I have been to. I think it's normal that Singapore is tiny, and maybe I'd never get past it. I get that it's tiring, and I'm also anxious about passing this painful fear onto them. I don't know what to do to cope better and not affect my partner with the ways my in...

We help a couple with their bondage question 

"My girlfriend, 32F and I, 35M, have been together a year now, and things are so good! Everything clicks :) On her birthday, she wanted to try something different sexually, and when we entered the bedroom, she had laid out all this BDSM gear. Afterwards, she complimented my dirty talk and said she felt safe with me when restrained, which is great, but how do I tell her I really, really,...

On the show today, a rabbit is getting better treatment that the partner!

"I am annoyed with my boyfriend for showering his attention on my pet rabbit. It sounds ridiculous even as I type this. I've spoken to him about this before, and he's just brushed me off. One example is he just buy lunch for himself and my rabbit when he visits, and none for me. Okay, like this. And when I asked him why, he said he forgot to ask me if ...

For this week's question, we dip our toes into School Mum dynamics:

"How do I handle a mother who's trying to form an exclusive cool kids / mothers club at school where my daughter just wants to be friends with her kid. I'm neither cool, nor do I really want to be part of this club that deliberately excludes mothers or kids deemed uncool. Help me navigate the school mother politics without losing my cool."

For this week's episode, we give advice about a tricky situation:

"A friend has been dealing with her husband's infidelity for a while. They have recently decided to put the past behind them and to start afresh. I wasn't aware of this truth when I saw the friend's husband with his mistress, and I told her about it. Ever since then, she has been acting weird around me, which is making me very uncomfortable, and I also feel a lot of ...

For this week's episode, we answer this question submitted to us via IG:

"I have a very close friend of many years that I've always found certain traits annoying, but it's at a stage now where I find things unbearable. One of the things is that he's a Libra, and he just wants to be everyone's best friend, which I find a bit fake and nauseating. We both sense that we've drifted as friends, but we're not really addressing it, and I p...

Our listener is stuck in a rut and wants our advice:

"How do I know if I should stay with my partner or not? I'm in my 50s, and I've been in my relationship with my partner for eight years. She's one of my oldest friends, and I love her tremendously, but she just can't be there for me emotionally, no matter how hard I ask her to be. I feel quite irritated and resentful towards her, even more so in the last year, I'm sick of being i...

This week's question hits close to home for us

"My friend is the type to be very easy going. Even if she does have preferences, I am the picky one. How far should I go to make sure that her preferences are met versus doing or going where I prefer, since I am more picky, because she'll always give in to me if I'm not the one to be like, "Come on, let's just do what you want!" And to an extent, it feels like I'm taking advantage of h...

In this week's episode, the question is

"I have a new boyfriend. I'm gay, but my best friend hates him. I don't know what to do, because I love my best friend, but I also love my boyfriend, but I keep trying to talk to my best friend about it, but he's been ignoring my messages. The short story is they dated, and then my boyfriend broke my best friend's heart when he ended the relationship, my best friend didn't want me to d...

This week, we help someone who needs help after a situationship hits troubled waters:

"How do I give myself closure from a situationship? I feel that the situationship feels open for me, because I never got to talk to him about whatever was going on between us. This situationship lasted for about six months, and if you're wondering how I found out he has a girlfriend, he brought her to one of our friends gathering without my knowle...

The question for this episode is:

"My boyfriend of six years said I'm expecting him to shoulder the burden of a home together. When I spoke of living together, I just bought a house. As my sister and I can't afford to buy another home. I wasn't even expecting him to buy a home. I was just sharing about living together as a couple in the future. It's sad to know that after being together for six years, he still uses terms like shoul...

The request for advice for today's show is:

"My girlfriend says she doesn't want me to do things for her, but I want to. She gets really upset with me when I do things for her, even when she's told me not to do them, even things like picking her up from work, and then she brings up my past relationships or friendships or threatens to break up with me. This happens a lot, and I find it exhausting, but I'm terrified to lose he...
