  • Started so well

    I was really excited to listen to this as I’m a long time listener of the SCC podcast. Each week sadly is just more shouting, interrupting each other and it’s just increasing my anxiety. Todays episode was just too much to listen too sorry.

MVP’s, NMN and Eminem
Q: How do you encourage honesty and keep the lines of communication open without becoming the unwilling recipient of every intimate detail of your children's lives?

Women Are Thirsting Over a Wicker Husband - Perimenopause Brain Fog & Dating After Divorce
Q: Shall I sit tight and let it play out or be very brave and do or say something next time we go out?
The hosts suggest proposing a more relaxed, intimate date and making her attraction apparent, while allowing for the possibility that he is shy or cautious after divorce.
Sex, Lost Libido, HRT & The Great Pillow Protector Debate
Q: Do I just leave it alone because he clearly isn't bothered, or do I keep asking him to investigate it and keep trying to instigate?
The hosts say she should not feel embarrassed or assume the problem is her responsibility. They recommend a kind, honest conversation about his wellbeing and encourage medical investigation, while recognizing that couples can choose a sexless relationship if both are comfortable with it.
Sex, Lost Libido, HRT & The Great Pillow Protector Debate
Q: What do you do when your husband has completely lost his libido?
The hosts suggest discussing what may be happening without blame or pressure and encourage him to speak with a doctor. They note that libido can be affected by testosterone, stress, physical health, self-esteem and other psychological factors, and that the couple should work through the mismatch together.
Are We Blaming Everything on Perimenopause? + The WhatsApp Weirdo
Q: Am I a WhatsApp weirdo for keeping track of how long people take to reply, and is it rude to leave someone on blue ticks for days?
The hosts say delayed replies often reflect message overload rather than a personal slight. They advise replying when it suits the sender instead of matching other people's response times.
