Ask Uncut - We Judge and We Don’t Listen

BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack your deep and burning questions.
We recorded this a few days early as Britt is currently on her way to Italy to have a very close quarters catch up with her fiance, sister, brother in law and niece!
We’ve really realised that we are in the next age bracket with our vibes this week!
Vibes for the week:
Britt - Podcast Stalked 
Keeshia Contour Cool Gel Knee Pillow
Laura Instagram Sydney Plant Guy Instagram 

Then we get into your questions!

HUSBANDS MUM HAS HIS LOCATION SETTINGS ON
My husband’s mum has his location settings on, so basically she is able to track him at all times. She isn’t necessarily controlling or making a big deal about it but I often hear her saying things like “I saw you were at the pub the other night” or “why were you at work on Saturday”. It makes me feel a certain way. I just find it a bit odd but I feel like I can’t really just ask him to turn it off because she’ll ask questions and I don’t want it to come back on to me. I guess my question is, am I being ridiculous to be annoyed at this?

HOW DO TWO AVOIDANTS MAKE A RELATIONSHIP WORK?
I’m 29 and have finally got my hands on the man I've been plotting about for 10 years. We’ve always had a strong connection, but life has led us in different directions over the years. We’ve been seeing each other as exclusive ‘fwb’ for the last year, but things have evolved recently. We spend hours chatting, planning our future, our communication is great, and we’re super compatible. The spark is strong; it may as well be fire. But we have both realised that we have avoidant attachment styles, which has prevented us from going ‘all in’. Recently, we’ve both admitted that we’re in deep and would like to try to be together. So my question is, how do ‘regular’ people do this? I can’t get my head around how to ‘be’ a girlfriend.. and what that might mean for my sense of self, and my lifestyle. I’m hyper independent, falling in love and absolutely terrified.. Help!

IS IT WEIRD FOR BRIDAL PARTY WEDDING TO SLOW DANCE?
What’re your thoughts on a bride making the bridesmaids and groomsmen slow dance together at the start of the night? My boyfriend is in a wedding this afternoon and he has to slow dance with his partner for 5 MINUTES!! Is this normal, am I overreacting that I find this weird? My heart rate is resting at 120 right now, I'm that anxious.
