Ask Uncut - Are They REALLY Allergic Though??


Listen Later

Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions!

Britt’s suffering from both a croissant injury and from a troll on instagram. Have you ever sent something to the person you’re talking about instead of the friend you meant to send it to?

Vibes for the week:
Britt - board game Articulate
Laura - Netflix film Scoop 
Keeshia - Bunnings ‘How To’ Video series 

Then we jump into your questions!
TO LOOK OR NOT LOOK DURING BIRTH!
My entire family had a bit of a heated argument about about whether the father should have a peep at their child being born during active birth. My opinion is that the father should at least have a quick glance at what the woman has to go through to have a child. I really don’t want to sound insensitive as I know some people can be grossed out. I am also a nurse so I don’t know if that impacts my opinion as I don’t get turned off by these things. I also understand there are certain circumstances where this would not be encouraged by midwives/doctors but in best case scenario with a healthy vaginal birth, I’d love to hear what you all have to say 

HOW DO I TELL MY HUSBAND I’VE BEEN ADDING TOMATO TO HIS DISHES?!
My husband told me when we met that he is allergic to tomato… as in he has IBS from it and he ends up on the toilet. For 6 years I haven’t cooked with tomato, can you imagine?!! No tomato in any dishes, it’s been hell. But, about 4 weeks ago I got ballsy and I added tomato to our bolognese I even blended it so he wouldn’t see and omg it tasted amazing!!! It had been so long. He didn’t run to the toilet after and he said if it was my best one yet… obviously because it had tomato in it!!! So the last 4 weeks I have been adding tomato to our dinners and hiding it and he has been fine! So my issue is… how do I tell him? Or do I never tell him? He will be sooo mad if he finds out I did that to him!

DON’T WANT TO INVITE MUM’S NEW BF TO MY WEDDING
I’m getting married next year (yay!) but I have a bit of a dilemma. My parents split a few years ago, and since then, my mum’s had a string of short-term boyfriends. She’s now dating someone new and will likely want to bring him to the wedding, as she will want to parade her ‘new man’ to the rest of the family Here’s the issue: I don’t like him, and it’s very likely they won’t still be together by then anyway. Our wedding is small and intimate, and I really don’t want a random in the photos - especially someone who might not be around long-term. Am I being unreasonable if I don’t want to invite him (or whoever she’s dating at the time)? Or is it okay to gently set that boundary?

WHO MOVES FOR LONG DISTANCE LOVE?!
I’m 25 and met the man of my dreams during a 2 week contiki. We clicked from the moment we met and were inseparable. He’s genuinely everything I’ve ever wanted and more. Except he lives in Canada and I’m Aussie. I have spent literally my entire life focusing on academics- sacrificing every family event imaginable to do this. I’m now a junior doctor with an immaculate reputation planning to specialise in anaesthetics which is very competitive. I don’t have a medical licence in Canada. To get one, it would be 2 exams costing $5000 assuming I pass the first time. Then I don’t think I’d have much of a chance getting into anaesthetics in a foreign country. He has spent 10 years working his way up the hierarchy of a jewellery store company, where he is now their top manager - he’s moved twice to open new stores for them. Apparently there’s very few jewellery suppliers for the stores (like whole sales I assume) in Canada- his dad owns one and this guy plans to work for his dad eventually. He’s humble so hasn’t talked specifics, but this sounds like a multimillion dollar opportunity. It is going to be INCREDIBLY difficult for either of us to move. It feels like one of us will take a massive step back in our career that we may never be able to overcome. What should I do? Do we need to give up now? We’re both on the same page that we’ve never had a connection like this before. I truly think he could be my penguin. We’ve been calling >1hour everyday for now a month post the trip. We want to make it work. But how? I don’t know how to ask one of us to make the ultimate sacrifice when we’re both so career driven. I’m realistically 8 years away from finishing anaesthetics training (assuming I get on when planned) so waiting this out isn’t really realistic.
