Ask Uncut - No One Is Giving Them... EV...

BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack some of your deepest and weirdest dilemmas!
One of our lifers has done the (most) homework and tried out ‘hamstering’ so you didn’t have to. We respect it but we are likely not to attempt this for ourselves.

Vibes for the week:
Britt - Cord Organiser 

Laura - Chekoh Wrap 

Keeshia - My Mom Jayne on HBO Max 

 

Then we jump into your questions
HELP! SAW MY GAY DADS SEX TOYS
Help a girl out. This is one of the most awkward moments of my life. I’m 25 and quite close with my dad. My dad is gay and has been all my life
 It's a long story. Anyway, I’ve just hopped in the back of his car because we are going to visit my sick grandma in hospital and there’s a sex toy in the back seat on the floor!!!   Black anal beads/butt plug kind of vibe. Do I ask him what it is?! Do I pretend I never saw it? Do I kick it under the front seat so he’s not embarrassed with it laying out in plain sight and knows I saw it?! Help a scarred girl out!

GIFT RECEIVER DOESN'T OPEN GIFT IN FRONT OF ME - I FIND IT STRANGE!
Is it common practice for people who are receiving gifts to open them while the gift giver is present? I’ve been to both a baby shower and a kids birthday recently where I brought a gift but to my disappointment the gifts were not opened during the event but taken away to be opened at a later time. As a gift giver, I think it’s nice to see the receiver open my gift; mainly to see if they liked it. When you put time and enough into picking the perfect gift I feel like it’s a bit anticlimactic to not actually see them open (and hopefully enjoy) it. Am I wrong in thinking it’s strange to not open gifts at the event in front of the givers?

I KISSED MY GP IN AN EMOTIONAL TIME (I’M MARRIED)
I’m 29yo. I’ve been with my husband for over 6 years and we have 2 gorgeous sons (4 and 2). I’ve been feeling like we’re roomates rather than partners for a long time now. We rarely have sex, don’t communicate very well and I’m feeling so lonely. Earlier this week, I had an appointment with my GP. A 53yo man who has been our Dr for 5yrs. It was a long appointment, and we shared and cried over our joint experiences of losing our daughters in very traumatic circumstances (they passed away on the same day, 5 years apart and Monday was their anniversary). At the end of the appointment, we hugged for a very long time, then there was a moment, and we ended up kissing. Nothing hot and heavy, but it was very nice. Now, I can’t stop thinking about him and that kiss. He is divorced, and has been such a source of comfort for me during some very darks times, and he says the same about me. What was this kiss? Is it just because we’re both lonely and were emotional over our daughter’s anniversaries? Or is it more than that? Please, please help

AM I UNREASONABLE NOT WANTING HUSBAND TO GO TO FRIENDS FUNERAL?
I don’t know if I’m being unreasonable with how I’m feeling. So my partner works fifo 2 weeks away, 1 week back and we have a 4 month old baby. He got some news about an old friend of his who suddenly passed away who lived interstate so would need to travel for the funeral. I don’t know this friend but he apparently played a large role in his life back when he was younger.
The funeral is the day after he gets back, so now instead of coming home he will pack a back and fly away again for a few days. I feel so incredibly upset with this decision. I understand the importance of this friend and I get that he wants to say goodbye. But I feel like given the circumstances, it isn’t just as easy as him jumping on a plane and going. Am I wrong to feel this way? Maybe I’m just being hormonal I don’t know. Please don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love being a mum, I wouldn't change it for the world. I just feel like I count down the days for him to get home so we can have time together as a family and I can get just a little bit of break or time to myself. It’s not like I get to just jump on a plane for a few days away whenever I want. Not that money is an issue but it’s also costing over $1000 for these flights as they’re last minute.
