In the advice booth. Another chicks chat, advice to the chicks. We ask you chickies to send in your dilemmas. And yeah, we're going to be reading them out, sharing our advice, two cents. I'm very excited. Don't have to take it.
It's just there. Here if you need. Exactly. Here if you need. Here if you need. Wing attack? I never played netball. I can see you on a wing attack for sure. They really, really, is that like a hot position? Yeah. Oh, good. Should we get in? Yeah. All right. As always, we haven't read these. Yep. So our beautiful producers picked these out for us and we're reading them live on air.
Dilemma number one. Let's go. Am I in love with my best friend?
Did you send this in?
I did. Okay. The layers to this story are beyond the Matilda chocolate cake level. Fuck. Damn, Brucie. You can do it, Brucie. My best friend and I have known each other for over eight years. Shit, I did send this in. We worked together. Oh, my God. Wait. Then lived together. Oh. And now, even with distance, we still call every day and talk constantly. For reference, I am married and have a child.
I'm very much in love with my husband, but I have started to wonder if I'm actually in love with my best friend. Oh, my God. When do you know the line is crossed with feelings?
Oh, my God. Divorce him now. I feel... Yeah, that's all we need. End the episode.

Chapter 2: What dilemmas do friends face when feelings develop for a bestie?
Fucking soulmate. We have never kissed. We hardly hug. I have been with females prior, but she hasn't. Yes, it's gay. Yes. That's what I was wondering. I wasn't thinking of that details yet. Yeah. Oh, yeah, baby. I've been with females prior, but she hasn't. Where do I go with this and how do I sleep at night knowing the wonders I am having with my own heart?
Oh, my God. This is literally like a rom-com. You're into this. Yeah. Dump him, dump him.
Oh, my God.
This is so tough because at first when you were reading it out, I was thinking, well, there are all different kinds of love and you can have a really deep love for your best friend. And I don't think that, you know, the first sort of indicators that she shared that they – have been friends for a really long time, they live together and now they call each other every day.
That doesn't immediately read romantic to me. No, because we do that. Yeah, like if we said that we spoke to each other.
Oh, shit.
Bree actually sent this in to be like, just face it. You guys love each other. We ain't never beaten their maligations.
and I don't want to no me neither it's not about us anyway so immediately I wasn't like I immediately I wasn't like oh yeah you're definitely in love with your best friend um because I think that those are pretty normal behaviors but the fact that you're having some of these questions is I'm like what are the emotions that you're feeling when you speak to your friend on the phone like do you get butterflies do you think about them in that way do you like
Flirt with each other. Yeah. There are like, like you're saying, there's different kinds of love. And obviously us speaking from our own relationship, like I can absolutely say that we are in love, you know, but like. I'm such a fucking two-year-old.

Chapter 3: How can you navigate a career crisis and consider a major change?
Is there, like, tension?
Yeah.
Do you have, like, a lingering touch? Like, you know, like, knees together or, like. I'm always going to, like. When you talk about your husband, does she seem like she's jealous or anything like that that typically would happen in any sort of relationship?
But then what happens there? Like, is the only reason that this hasn't gone further... is because there hasn't been reciprocation yet. And if those feelings are returned, then that's all the green light she needs. But I do want to flag that as much as we love a love story, shout out Taylor Swift, there is other people involved in this. She does have a husband. She is married.
She's in a committed relationship and she has a family. And just because this relationship is a same sex relationship doesn't make it this like,
flirty fun and frivolous thing like to act on it would still be cheating you know to suss the vibe would still be emotionally not being faithful in her current relationship so it doesn't make you a bad person for being like oh no like do i have these feelings not even oh no but like you know i think i have feelings for another person that doesn't make you a bad person right
It's what you do with it though. But I do think sometimes like, especially with like women, like that kind of those relationships, it's like not held to the same weight as a heterosexual relationship. Yeah. So it's like, oh, just kiss and see. Like I know we've been like silly fun. No, but it's fine because it is like talking about love and like, Having a crush on somebody.
Having a crush is fun. I'm not saying that this is what she's done either.
But maybe it is a case of really sitting down and, like, having that moment of introspection with yourself. And then if you do feel like these feelings are legitimate, like, maybe bring it up with your husband and be like, I've had questions about my sexuality. And, like, I don't, like, maybe be open about that.

Chapter 4: What are the challenges of living with a best friend?
Just go for it, girl.
It sounds like you're excited to study medicine. So it's a good idea to at least investigate it a little bit further. Allow yourself the chance to dream.
Oh, beautiful.
All right, dilemma number three. My diabolical dilemma and life lesson is to know your limits with your BFF. Did you write this? Is this another one sent in? Shit. I think my best friend is in love with me.
Could you imagine?
Sally wrote that one in. My partner and I moved across the country together for his work and invited my best friend to come with us. Oh, wow. Her and I wanted to move interstate anyways, so it was just perfect timing that I found a man who wanted to settle no matter the location. He and I move up first and she followed a few months later.
I won't lie though, when she moved up with us, I started regretting it almost immediately. Oh, fuck. I got so used to it being with just my partner and I that living with someone else started to really agitate me. I tried to learn to let things go and not be so picky, but we're about a year into living together and I still can't stand it. To make things worse, her and I worked together.
She started working here a little while after I did, so we never really get that time apart. Just for some detail, she used our body wash for the first three months of living together.
Yeah, okay.

Chapter 5: How do you deal with jealousy in friendships and relationships?
to move and then you've found your incredible partner who you're very in love with but from her perspective it also might be well we were planning on moving together and you've gotten into a relationship and now i'm living with you and your boyfriend yeah which like i'm also not saying that she shouldn't have met her partner and gotten into a relationship i'm just being devil's advocate that there's always like a different perspective a different perspective in two sides as well um but
Would you think it was weird if, like, someone... Like, if I started dating someone that had the same job as your boyfriend and the same name and... No. Nah. I wouldn't think that was weird.
I think it's the fact that she is, like, at least in her eyes, flirting with her partner when they get drunk and then... It's like, I think those are the cherries on top. And it's like, and he has the same name.
And he has the same job. Like you're irked.
Whereas I think that if you weren't already irked, you probably wouldn't give a fuck about that stuff. You'd probably be like, oh my God, we both have boyfriends named John. Like that's amazing. Like, you know, you'd probably would say that as like maybe something a bit like tee hee ha ha, not annoying or not that maybe she's trying to date your boyfriend or a doppelganger of your boyfriend. Yeah.
yeah um i think like have a sit down and like you said you're very straight up but we were talking about this in a previous episode that the one reason why friendships go the distance and last is radical honesty but always with I think at least empathy. So like, you know, and be prepared in that conversation that she might also have some things that she wants to raise as well.
Like it might not necessarily be a conversation where you sit down and go, look, beetroot, got to go. Yeah. You know, you got to wipe that beetroot up. Yeah. Get that beet out of there. You know, stop spitting on the tap. And she might be like, okay, well, like, I feel like, I don't even know, I'm just making something up.
Being like, you guys are always in the living room and as a couple and I feel like I'm always the third wheel or I don't know what it would be. Like she might take that as an opportunity to air her grievances. Yeah, and like looking at that conversation as an opportunity for reconciliation rather than a conflict. Yeah. Because she says she's really, she doesn't like confrontation. Yeah.
Which like that's fair enough. It's not a comfortable thing. But I'm sure... she probably misses her best friend too. Like if you guys were going to move across the country together, at some point you must have loved each other. Like you must have been really close. And so like my priority in that situation is,
