Everyone Has An Ex

The Relationship Guy. An elusive, rare breed in this day and age - the guy who loves being someone’s person, who wants and enjoys the simplicity and comfort of being with a partner - no questioning if he likes you, no wondering how long you should wait to text - no drama. And once you’re at this level of comfort, it’s all smooth sailing. He’s The Relationship Guy, after all. Commitment and stability is his whole thing. Or....is it?  Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.au Follow us: @everyonehasanex CREDITS: Host: Georgia Love Producer: Linda Scott Audio Producer: Scott Stronach SUBSCRIBE: Become a Mamamia Subscriber here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Religion. We often talk about the role it plays in a relationship - two people coming from different backgrounds with different beliefs. But when you find the right person, differences in belief systems don’t mean a thing, if you know you want to be together. So when a relationship starts - and progresses - with that being the only difference, you’d never expect it to be something else entirely that blows up your relationship - and ultimately, your life.

First love - remember that? The innocent fun, the inseparability, the rush of emotions, and all those unforgettable firsts. For Suzy and John, that was exactly what it was like. The thing about first love is that one of the “firsts” is the breakup - a rite of passage, but never an easy one. But what happens when you go through two breakups at once? One with your ex, and another with someone you never imagined could…or should.. break your heart.

When friendship turns into love, it feels less like a leap and more like coming home. There is risk in crossing that line, but when it works, love born from friendship carries a rare intimacy - and that was the case for Simone and Antony. But when lovers turn into strangers, it’s the most painful and quiet heartbreak of all. That person you knew so intimately, relied on so heavily, was now someone who you didn’t really know at all  Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.au Follow us: @everyonehasanex TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussions of pregnancy loss, which may be distressing for some listeners.

Starting fresh. It’s a wonderful, scary and exciting thing. You can leave an old life behind and start discovering a whole new way of living, new experiences, finding new people and finding yourself. But while those new experiences may seem fun and exciting in the beginning, they can take a dark and dangerous turn.  Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.au Follow us: @everyonehasanex This episode contains discussions of domestic violence, which may be distressing for some listeners.

Moving in together. Some do it quickly, some choose to wait a while. For Fiona and Steve, it was the former, wasting no time in creating their own special memories and routines. Plus, it really is the best way to really get to know someone.But even though you share a space, there are always places to hide secrets. Secrets that when found, will have you questioning whether you ever really knew that person at all.

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 more official. Just ask Amanda.
