Episode Description

Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions!

It's Britt and Keeshia today while Laura enjoys the tail end of her time off. She'll be back in the hot seat on Wednesday!

But first, Keesh has an Ask Uncut of her own: you're at a party, there's one designated party toilet, and the person before you has left some very unfortunate evidence behind. Do you clean a stranger's skid marks, or walk out and let 40 strangers assume it was you?

Vibes of the week:

Then it's into your questions!

Q1: MY FRIEND BAILED ON OUR BALI TRIP AND EXPECTS THE GROUP TO COVER HER SHARE
A group of us girls organised a trip to Bali and we've all paid for flights and accommodation, split evenly. A few nights ago one of the girls messaged me privately saying she now has uni exams and can no longer come, and asked if it would be easier for everyone to just transfer her for her part. I told her I didn't think it was fair to expect the group to pay more to cover her costs, but that I couldn't speak for everyone. So she put it in the group chat... and nobody replied. Now she's acting cold and standoffish with me at work. Surely it's an unspoken rule that if you pull out for your own reasons, the group doesn't have to cover you? Am I the asshole?

Q2: CAN A WORK FLIRTATION EVER BE HARMLESS?
My husband and I have three kids together, but the romantic relationship is non-existent. I've suggested therapy and he refuses, so we're at a standstill: no intimacy, a lot of resentment, and I'm not sure it's even salvageable. Separating is an option, but I don't want to only see my kids 50% of the time. He's a good dad, just a shitty husband, so I feel really stuck. I've recently gone back to work and a coworker is laying it on thick. He's made it very clear he's interested, and for the first time in years I'm enjoying the attention... and feeling like a horrible person for it. Can you engage in a work flirtation and it be harmless, or is it just a bad idea altogether?

Q3: I FOUND 100 PRINTED NUDES OF MY BOYFRIEND'S EX
I recently moved in with my boyfriend of eight months. He was away for work the other night and I found a box containing about 100 printed nude photos of his ex-girlfriend... who he has an AVO out against. When I asked him about it, he swore black and blue that he didn't know he still had them. I personally find it hard to believe he magically forgot about a stack of photos that were very easily accessible. Any advice would be appreciated! 

Q4: SHOULD WE TELL OUR 14-YEAR-OLD WE'RE SECRETLY INVESTING HIS BOARD MONEY?
My 14-year-old has just gotten his first job, and I've told him he'll need to pay 30% board from his take-home pay each fortnight. My wife is on board. Where we disagree: I want him to pay the money and assume it's gone, just like rent in the real world. My wife wants to tell him we're actually investing it all for him, to be handed back at 25 as a deposit for a house or unit. I'm worried that telling him would stop him from developing his own saving and investing habits. We'd love to know your thoughts!
