'I Couldn't Save Her, But She Saved Me' - Fighting Leukaemia Uncut with Nikiya Love

Hey Lifers!

Welcome back to our ask uncut where we answer your deep, dark and debaucherous dilemmas. Today includes a doozy!

Then we jump into your questions:
SHE CHEATED WITH A SECOND COUSIN
My cousin has come to me absolutely distraught. She confided to me that at a family wedding about 2 months ago she got very very drunk and had sex with our second cousin! Keep in mind she is newly married! She also told me that she is pregnant and not 100% sure who the dad is (her husband or the second cousin) . She has decided just to assume it’s her husband and is not looking into a paternity test. She is so ashamed and I think the only reason she has opened up to me is because of the pregnancy. Is it my place to tell the husband (who I’m close with too), for his sake and the baby’s sake (it could have serious health implications) or do I just pretend I know nothing?




AM I MEANT TO BE WITH MY EX?

I truly believe that my ex from 10 years ago is who I am meant to be with… We were really young and it just wasn’t the right time back then however, over the years there have been multiple times when we have talked about getting back together. There has always been something in the way like work commitments, personal reasons or one has been in a relationship when the other hasn’t. Only a few months ago when I was in a short relationship, I found out he was interested again. I'm not in that relationship anymore but he has just started seeing someone. What should I do? No matter how much I try to convince myself I’m wrong, my gut keeps telling me that it’s him and it will always be him who I am meant to be with. Should I try and talk to him about this (if so what the hell do I say) or just wait and see if time brings us back together again? Is he just the one that got away and it’s time to let that go?




HOW SHOULD COUPLES SPLIT PAYMENTS

I’m planning on moving out with my boyfriend and our two mates in three months into Sydney. For reference we’ve been dating for 6 years and I’ve been friends with his mates the whole time.I’ve been looking at places and am confused about how couples pay rent. Are we expected to split the amount evenly by all 4 of us even though my boyfriend and I are in the same room? Obviously bills are paid per person but I feel like it’s unfair when we are getting half the room. I haven’t moved out before so I'm not sure about roommate etiquette.

Ask Uncut - She Cheated With Her Second Cousin

In 2022, coming out of lockdown, Johann went to a party with Hollywood celebrities. He noticed that unlike him and his friends who had all gained weight in lockdown, these people had all somehow lost a lot weight. It wasn't because they had taken up pilates. It was because of a new generation of injectable drugs, designed for diabetics, except that no one was speaking about it.

Immediately he felt conflicted about these drugs. On one hand, it seemed as though they may have the ability to significantly improve the health risks associated with obesity; but there was also a dark side that he felt the need to investigate. 

Johann decided he would interview over 100 of the world's leading experts in science, medicine and the body positivity space to create his latest book "Magic Pill. The extraordinary benefits and disturbing risks of new weight loss drugs.”

In this episode, we speak about:
When Johann first became aware of drugs like Ozempic
Fatphobia, stigma and shame that we have been conditioned to experience in our culture
What these drugs could mean for people who already experience disordered eating
How these drugs work and Johann's personal experiences on them
The potential health benefits that they may have
The risks and unknown outcomes of this class of drugs
How weight is a 'status' symbol in our society
Whether these drugs should solely be available for diabetics
The potential future outcomes of weight loss drugs & what they could mean for our economy

You can find all of Johann's books including Magic Pill here
