The ups, the downs and the Kanyes - Talking Bipolar disorder with Anastasia McLean!

Hey guys and welcome back to your therapy Thursday where we answer all of your deep, dark and burning questions!
First up, we asked our partners what they would have called us on their sex list. Not sure if we are recommending this one or not to be honest!
Bachie has been canned and we will well and truly miss the beautiful tones of Osher's "ladies".

Vibes for the week:
Britt - Netflix The Roast of Tom Brady
Laura - The Daily - Sunday Special 'Modern Love' podcast ep
Keeshia - Pill Box from Dosey

Then we jump into your questions!
HE WANTS TO CHEAT WITH ME
My husband and I travel frequently with another family who have children the same age. It started out as my husband and his friends but over time the wife has become one of, if not, my best friend. They live interstate but we talk most days. We are 2 weeks away from an international holiday with them, when he asks me in a private message if I was with my husband at the time, and to message back when I was alone. He asked if I would like to ‘hook up’ whilst overseas and at the same time said don’t say a word to them (meaning his wife and my husband). I actually asked if he was joking to which he replied “no, but now it’s awkward”. I brushed it off and politely declined. As I stand, it’s nearly 24 hours after the message. I am planning on telling my husband that we will need to rearrange our holiday and accommodation plans. She is going to know something has happened, so when she asks me why we are cancelling on them what do I say? If roles were reversed I would 100% want to know. We have always suspected he’s probably not 100% faithful to her but to make matters worse she is pregnant. I know the information is going to ruin her life.




PARTNER DOESN'T WANT ME TO DONATE MY EGGS TO MY BROTHER
I have two older gay brothers. Since I was about 16 (I am now in my mid 20s) I’ve said that I would like to donate eggs in the future to them, so they can have biological kids with their partner. (I always figured since we look very similar and I don’t plan on having kids it would be a nice way to have biological children in the family). One of my brothers and his partner are ready to start the process to have kids. However, my partner of 2 years that I plan on marrying is very uncomfortable and does not agree with this decision. He sees that it will be my kid. I am not sure what to do. Do I listen to my partner's concerns and come to terms with not helping my brothers or follow through with this said promise? What are your thoughts? Am I crazy for offering and not seeing it as being my child?




IS IT OK TO KEEP EX HUSBANDS SURNAME
My ex husband and I split a number of years ago and had one child together. I took his surname when we married. We have both since re-coupled and he is now engaged. This has made me wonder - is it time to change my name back? The problem is, I LOVE my current name and it feels like a bit part of who I am; personally and professionally. I also really love having the same surname as the child we happily co-parent. Is it weird if I just keep the name? My new partner and I also have a child together, and marriage will be on the cards one day but I don’t want to change my name multiple times… and I much prefer my current name 😅

Ask Uncut - Donor Eggs, Keeping My Ex's Surname & My Best Friend's Husband Tried to Cheat With Me

If you use tampons, have you heard about the whole ‘8 hour’ time period of which you need to change your tampon or risk getting toxic shock syndrome? Well, that is a load of sh*t. 
If you menstruate, or if you care about anyone who menstruates, you need to hear this conversation!

Lauren Wasser was born into a family of models and started modelling at just 2 months old. She was a fit tom boy and had begun to make a name for herself in the modelling industry. When Lauren was 24 years old she developed Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) from her tampon. 

In this chat we speak about Lauren’s personal experience of feeling a ‘bit off’ one day. 24 hours later she was fighting for her life. The syndrome caused a life threatening situation that had Lauren straddling the line between life and death. Lauren ended up needing to have both of her legs amputated in an effort to keep her alive. Now, 6 years since the infection, Lauren is modelling with her golden legs. 

She is now advocating for all of us to learn more about the lack of transparency from feminine hygiene products, and how toxic they can be. Lauren also speaks about growing up with one view of beauty, and how now she is trying to change how we define it. 

In this conversation Lauren mentioned the website Don't Shock Me

"I Used A Tampon Correctly, and I Ended Up Losing Both of My Legs" - Uncut with Lauren Wasser

Hey Lifers!

Laura is being gaslit by a sleep tracker and she is mad about it! She's also looking for which staff member (*allegedly) took her vibrator. 

Britt has been seeing a particular ex ALL over the place on an unexpected publicity tour.

Do you keep a list of all of the people you've had sex with? Drew Barrymore did and she left it at Danny DeVito’s house! We share our ideas of lists, whether there are a few names that have slipped our memory and the nicknames you all have for the adventures you've been on!

Plus, we talk about the journey of celibacy that Craig David has been on. *There’s been no more ‘making love by Wednesday'.
