Everyone Has An Ex

When it comes to relationships, you often hear that the best ones are based on a solid friendship. One where you have each other’s back, tell each other everything and glide through life’s trials and tribulations in unison. And that was exactly the case with Olivia and Alex. But what happens when what has always felt like home, starts to feel completely foreign? When you can’t quite put your finger on what’s changed or why? And when that one person who once told you everything, locks the front door and just won't let you in.

Weddings. One of the most special times in one’s life. The occasion that marks a lifelong commitment to the one you love. When families unite and two become one. Promising to make each other happy for the rest of your lives, sticking together through thick and thin, in sickness and in health. After Seven blissful years together and an 18 month engagement, everything was set for Ben and Amy to say their vows and finally be husband and wife. So what was it that got in the way of their magical moment, only days before the church bells start ringing?

When you know, you know. How many times have we heard those words in reference to meeting THE ONE, The love of your life, your lobster... or in Kate and Josh’s case, your LOMFL (that's Love Of My F**king Life for those playing at home). But what happens when that impenetrable love bubble is burst by an all-consuming seductress that’s more powerful than love itself? No, it’s not another woman. It’s not even another man. It was something much, much darker.

Falling in love. There is no greater feeling. What starts slowly, suddenly happens all at once...and then bang. You have it. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, all-consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love. Now, we might joke about love being inconvenient, but for Jaimie, that's exactly what it was. A love that was so inconvenient she had to quit her job, move countries, combat racism and defend the man she loved against pre-conceived stereotypes to those closest to her. A clash of cultures that drew two people together yet tore them apart.

The Australian dream. Your own home, a loving husband and two beautiful children all by the age of 30. That is the dream… right? Well sometimes, even for those who DO dream of exactly that, even when they’ve got it, it still doesn’t feel quite right. This is the story of Kate. Despite having everything she thought she’d ever wanted, she always felt there was something missing. Now of course she eventually found that something. But no one - not Kate, not her husband, nor her family and friends expected that something to be front page news.

In this very special bonus episode, we are re-publishing an interview that Psychologist, Sabina Read and her pod-partner, Journalist, Madeleine Grummet conducted with our very own Georgia Love about her ex, for their podcast, Human Cogs.

You'll remember Sabina from our last bonus episode. Our brilliantly insightful guest who delved deep into the psychology of the common themes from Season 1. Well, Sabina was also pretty interested in the psychology behind why someone who's happily engaged, spends all their spare time making a podcast about people's breakups and it turns out, Georgia has an ex story too.

For the first time since that breakup five years ago, the mic has been turned and Georgia re-opens those old wounds and shares her very personal story.

Humans Cogs brings you conversations that inspire and delight by bringing extraordinary ordinaries into the light. Our guests take us deep to explore universal human truths, start the candid conversations we need to have, and get beneath the skin to the real things that make us who we are. Hosted by renowned psychologist and media contributor Sabina Read, and award-winning entrepreneur and journalist Madeleine Grummet, each episode features real conversations with extraordinary guests who reveal what makes them tick, share lessons on living and loving well, and challenge what we think we know about ourselves, each other and the world around us. Human Cogs is a point of connection for us all – celebrating and reflecting on the things that bring us together, and the things that tear us apart.

In this bonus episode, Georgia Love speaks with Psychologist, Sabina Read, about the common themes that led to heartbreak and hope in Season 1 and unpack the "why's". Why do people cheat? Why do people lie? Why do men tend to move on quicker than women after a break up? How can you best deal with break up grief? And why did some of you have certain reactions to some of our ex stories and not others? Sabina offers an insightful, thought-provoking and intelligent point of view that will provide perspective and challenge the way you think about relationships.

Sabina is a Psychologist, Media Commentator, Speaker, Facilitator and also the Co-host on a wonderful new podcast called Human Cogs, which shares the real, raw, and very human stories of extraordinary ordinaries and we highly recommend you subscribe via Spotify!

When Ruby started her new job, she quickly caught the attention of her motorcycle-riding, sandy-haired, high powered boss Tim, who also happened to be 23 years her senior. An office romance ensued and pretty quickly turned serious. But there was one problem. Tim had a girlfriend of 7 years, leaving Ruby to navigate the trials and tribulations of being the other woman.

Kate and Toby were that couple whose life-long dreams mirrored each other’s from the moment they met. They had laid the foundation for the perfect house, the perfect lifestyle and just the right number of children. But sometimes that foundation is a little less ‘bricks and mortar’ and a little more ‘house of cards’ and when that’s the case, the only certainty is that it will eventually come crashing down.
