Georgia Love

Mamma Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of the land and waters this podcast is recorded on.

This episode deals with discussions of sexual abuse, mental ill health and pregnancy termination and won't be for everyone.

If you or anyone you know needs help, there is a list of support services in our show notes.

Sleep, a time to rest, recover and reset, allowing you to wake refreshed and ready to face a brand new day.

That elusive eight hours we all strive for, filled with dreams that quietly keep us company through the night.

But for Cindy, sleep wasn't a luxury.

It was something a little more complicated.

While those complications can steal those dreams away, what you don't expect is for them to be replaced by nightmares, not the kind you have in your sleep, the kind happening in real life.

I'm Georgia Love and this is Everyone Has an Ex.

Come with me as we dive into a collection of unconventional stories about relationships past through the eyes and the hearts of the very people who lived them.

We begin this story like so many others.

Cindy is 25.

She's been single for three years following a difficult relationship.

She wasn't actively looking for anything new, but she was open to it.

So when Ted slid into her DMs, it felt like the universe was giving her exactly what she needed.

Now, dear listener, you may have picked up that Ted was in a band and bands often go on tour.

So you can kind of guess what happens next.

But Ted's tour was cut short as COVID swept the globe and he and Cindy still kept in contact with a few texts and emails here and there.

There were no hard feelings, so it should come as no surprise they found their way back together.

At this point they were five months into their official relationship and it's fair to say Cindy was experiencing the highest of highs.
