Everyone Has An Ex

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.

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.

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. Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanex See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Do you remember that feeling of your first love? Being head over heels at such a young age, but you knew this was it. It was real. Your love was even stronger than the famed Montague and Capulet. That was Manni and Rachel. Many of us grow up and grow out of our first loves. But, theirs never changed. Not because they grew together and fell more in love over the years, but because it never got the chance to grow and was forever halted in time.NOTE TO LISTENERS: This episode contains strong adult themes and depicts acts of violence that will not be suitable for all ears. Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanex See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Love in another language. Is there anything more romantic? Being swept off your feet by a foreigner, sexy accent, mysterious background and all. With Hans, Belle had all that and more. But the mystery behind having different backgrounds isn't always all good. Because when you come from totally different worlds and don't know the other's home life, the romance of mystery can quickly turn sour. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Some relationships are strong on their own. Others are only strengthened when those nearest and dearest refuse to accept it. And that was the case for Chloe and Lucy. Despite the pain they suffered by not being accepted, they always had each other. But sometimes taking away a loved one's pain, can turn into a full time job and no matter how hard you try and how much you try and fix relationships around you, it's yours that can suffer the most.NOT TO LISTENERS: This episode discusses depression and mental health issues.

Love strikes when we least expect it. And when it does, it's all consuming, you're living in your own bubble and it really is just like the movies. That's exactly what it was like for Michelle and James. And much like the movies, in every relationship, there are always tests and challenges before you get to the happy ending. Some are right in front of you and then there's the ones you never saw coming at all.

You know those “no one else understands” relationships? The ones friends and family all say is wrong, but the two people in it just know better. They don't need anyone else to get it! They're the ones in it, and they're happier than ever, no matter what anyone says. That was Marie and Michael.But how often do you hear these relationships end up crashing and burning? Maybe it's because love is blind. When you're in it, you simply can't see the forest for the trees. But eventually, reality always sets in.Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanex See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Teenage romance. Is there anything sweeter? Butterflies in the tummy, sneaking out of the house to see each other, the magic of a first kiss. But many teen romances are just that. Few survive into adulthood, let alone become lifelong. But those that do? They're extra magical.But long term relationships, especially those that span 27 years, are hard. And even when you've known someone almost your entire life…do you ever really know them?CONTENT WARNING: This episode deals with trauma, depression and suicide and won't be suitable for all listeners.

When it comes to great relationships, what often makes them so great is that they're built on the solid foundation of friendship. Because there's nobody you'd support, protect and love more than your best friend, right? And that was the case for Hannah and Pete. But the thing about any friendship, is that no matter how much time you spend with them and how much trust you've built, there are often still secrets that are never shared. Some are small, some are insignificant and some….will change the course of your lives forever.Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanex See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Picture this: you're the funny guy. The class clown who's always been keen on the cool girl but it hasn't really gone the other way. Until that is, you grow up to become a professional comedian. Then all of a sudden the cool girl starts paying attention to you. Then imagine you start dating. You stop seeing anyone else. You spend every weekend together. You get pretty serious. Then you get really serious and your world is thrown into absolute turmoil by one little text message.Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanex See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Travelling after a break up with a group of your besties. There's nothing better. Sightseeing and sampling local cuisines, without a care in the world. And you know what makes it even sweeter? A holiday romance. That's exactly what happened to Sarah. Except this holiday fling went a little further.So what happens when you get engaged to someone you've never lived with? Someone from the other side of the world, an entirely different culture, with completely different values?And how far would you go, to make it work?Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanex See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's the 2020's, dear listeners. We know love stories these days don't come from spotting each other across a room, a surprise flower delivery from a secret admirer, nor an introduction from a friend. No. Romances these days are made on reality TV. Like Jake and Megan's.But the thing about these types of romances, is that when the cameras stop rolling and the actual reality of life takes over, what you thought was paradise can very quickly turn into complete pandemonium.Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanex See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Long distance relationships. For those who have ever had one, you know it can be hard work. There’s a lot of lonely nights, long phone calls, planning and travelling. But there’s also that excitement factor when you get to see that person you love after a few long weeks apart. And for Stacey and Jack, they had it all down to a fine art. And while it’s nice to think that absence makes the heart grow fonder, there’s always that element of not really knowing what your person is doing when you’re not around. Where they are. And who they’re with...**Names have been changed to protect the identities of those mentioned in this episode**Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanex See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Easy. That’s the description you look for to know a relationship is right. It’s easy. There’s no fighting, no games, no questions. It just works. That was Elise and Simon's relationship in a nutshell. Well, for a part of it anyway. And while easy is good, is it really all you want? Because with ease often comes…well, complacency. And, dear listener, as we well know with complacency comes a whole host of other problems.Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanex See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

First love. You think that’s usually a statement reserved for young couples, but that’s certainly not always the case. For some people, like Jan, it takes much longer to meet The One. Like, 59 years. But when she did meet him, she couldn’t believe her luck. But often when something seems too good to be true… that’s because it is.Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanex See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Meet Matt. 49, father of three boys, one time architect turned full time stay-at-home Dad. With his wife out kicking massive career goals and Matt and the boys kicking it at home, life was pretty good. But, you often hear when all the kids are grown up and off at school, the stay-at-home parent loses themselves a bit. Well, that certainly doesn’t just go for stay-at-home mums, but the dads too. And sometimes it’s not just themselves they lose.Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanex See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Every relationship has its ups and downs. Whether you’re Jane and Joe Blow or Prince Harry and Meaghan Markle, no relationship is perfect. Except Rachael and Matt’s. They were in their 30s, both totally secure in who they were and what they wanted, loved each other’s friends and family and had total open communication from day dot. The recipe for a great, long, strong partnership. So how then in the space of 6 months, did it go from being a blissful, love-up lifestyle to claiming you'd rather DIE than stay together?Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanex See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanex See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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?Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanex See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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!

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.

This is a story about Daniel. Twice married and a Father of two. It's also a story about Michelle. She came onto the scene 4 years after Daniel’s youngest daughter was born. No, she wasn’t a mistress, nor a colleague, nor a new friend or partner. Michelle was far more special and more important in Daniel’s life than any of those people could ever be.
