Sarah and Jack's love story wasn't filled with grand gestures or dramatic declarations. It was simple, easy and everything she'd ever wanted.

After 11 years together, a beautiful wedding, a dream home and two gorgeous children, life was pretty close to perfect.

But navigating motherhood with a newborn and a toddler was taking its toll. Looking for something just for herself, Sarah joined a local gym, where she found a new sense of confidence, a supportive community and an unexpected friendship.

It seemed like the perfect addition to an already happy life.

But sometimes, the smallest changes can have the biggest consequences...

Michelle was 23 when she packed up her life in New York City and moved to Sydney, where a chance encounter on the streets of Bondi led her straight into the arms of Finn.

Their whirlwind romance had all the makings of a fairytale. But when her visa expired, they were forced to navigate a long-distance relationship that ultimately ended in heartbreak.

Convinced Finn was her soulmate and the one who got away, Michelle spent years believing the universe would eventually bring them back together.

And when she finally got the second chance she'd been manifesting, she discovered that sometimes the universe has a very different plan for your happily-ever-after.

After a painful divorce, Jess wasn’t looking for love—but she still believed her silver fox was out there. And then she met Simon.

He was charming, successful and seemingly very wealthy. He adored her, embraced her daughters and offered the kind of love and security she’d been missing for years. Before long, they’d built a life and blended family together.    

But when a $100,000 investment failed to come back, the cracks in their seemingly perfect life began to show—and Jess was about to discover that the man she trusted with her heart may have been hiding far more than just the truth about his money.

Season 10 of Everyone Has An Ex launches October 7, and we need your help with a very special episode: Everyone Has An Ex... In-Law.

Did meddling in-laws, crossed boundaries, family feuds, wedding drama or one too many passive-aggressive comments contribute to the end of your relationship? Maybe your partner always chose their family over you—or their family made it their mission to drive you apart.

If your in-laws played a starring role in turning your happily-ever-after into an ex, we want to hear from you.

Rachael and Deborah weren't just sisters—they were best friends.

With a 14-year age gap, Deborah helped raise her little sister, becoming her safe place, confidante and one of the most important people in her life.

But as Rachael grew up and started building a life and family of her own, their once-unbreakable bond began to change. Then, without a conversation, an explanation or even a proper goodbye, Deborah disappeared from her life.

Eight years later, Rachael is still trying to understand how someone who once felt like family and a best friend could become a stranger.

Chloe and Jess became instant best friends at sixteen. For the next decade, theirs was the kind of friendship filled with inside jokes, big nights, fierce loyalty and complete honesty.

But over the years, that honesty started to hurt. Criticism became harder to brush off, boundaries became harder to maintain, and Chloe began questioning whether the person who knew her best actually liked her at all.

After years of forgiving, reconnecting and trying again, Chloe was forced to decide whether some friendships are worth fighting for—or whether sometimes, you have to choose yourself.

Lola and Sandra were an unlikely pair. Twenty years apart in age, they went from workmates to best friends—bonding over dark humour, Friday wines, dating disasters and eventually, one of the hardest periods of Lola's life.

When Lola was diagnosed with breast cancer, Sandra became her rock. But as Lola fought for her life and slowly began rebuilding it, something in their friendship started to change.

She'd been there through the darkest days. But as life finally started getting brighter, the friendship began to change—and the person who'd once been her rock started to feel very different.

Can men and women really be just friends?

Amanda always thought the answer was yes.

She and Dave were inseparable. Gym buddies, concert buddies, each other's biggest cheerleaders, and the kind of best friends everyone hoped to have.

But after Amanda's long-term relationship came to an end, one unforgettable weekend away changed everything.

Sometimes the person who's always been there for you... has been hoping for something more all along.

Sarah and Laura were the kind of best friends who did everything together. They fell in love around the same time and shared every chapter of adulthood—every milestone, every heartbreak, every secret.

But when Sarah's long-term relationship came to an end, she never imagined she'd lose more than just her partner.

The best friend she thought would help her through it... disappeared.

Eight years later, Sarah is still trying to understand how losing her best friend ended up hurting even more than losing the man she loved.

Did you have a best friend who was once your whole world… until they weren't?

The friend you spoke to every day. The one who knew your secrets, your family, your dreams, and every version of you. The person you thought would be standing beside you for the rest of your life.

Then something happened. Maybe there was a betrayal. Maybe you drifted apart. Maybe the friendship ended in a single moment, or maybe it slowly unraveled over years. Whatever the reason, it left a mark.

We're looking for stories for our new podcast, Everyone Has An Ex Best Friend—a series about friendship, heartbreak, loyalty, loss, and the people we never expected to lose.

We all have a type. Tall, dark, blonde, tradies, “the nice guy”—the list goes on. But Tessa’s type didn’t fit neatly into any of those boxes. Hers came with a certain edge… the kind of past you don’t always ask too many questions about.

The thing about that kind of attraction? It rarely comes alone. Because with that edge often comes something else—history, habits, and a kind of baggage that doesn’t stay buried for long.

There’s something special about meeting someone later in life. You have a stronger sense of who you are, shaped by everything you’ve been through—the highs, the lows—and you move with a kind of calm confidence that just fits. That was the case for Amy and Matt.

But life has a way of testing you. The longer you live it, the more you’re asked to carry—and over time, that weight can take its toll. Even with the strongest support around you, some burdens are just too heavy to hold.

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

And 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, but the kind that are happening in real life.

Freedom—there’s nothing quite like it. Especially at the beginning of a new romance, when everything feels light, electric, and full of possibility. 

But freedom can easily be taken for granted, overlooked or underappreciated. And like everything - there’s no guarantee it will last forever. And if or when that sense of freedom starts to slip away, the consequences don’t always just touch you, but start a ripple effect, affecting everything and everyone around you.

Power is an interesting thing when it comes to relationships. It can be shared, moved around when life and circumstances change, it can even be kinda hot.

But the key to navigating different power dynamics is in balance.
So when a relationship starts with the scales very much one way, it can prove near impossible to shift it, and all of a sudden you can find yourself nowhere near the driver’s seat, and spinning out of control.

There’s nothing quite like the instant connection you feel when you meet someone and just know they could be “your person.” It’s a bond that runs deep—felt emotionally, intellectually, and physically—so powerful that, together, you feel capable that you can conquer anything and everything.

But with a connection this strong, it’s easy to overlook a few signs—to give your person the benefit of the doubt…but that doesn’t mean everyone in your corner will see it the same way.

What makes a perfect partner? Does the person you meet, catch feelings for and see a life with have to be perfect from the start? Or do you look at potential imperfections and think “I can fix them”? Especially when said imperfections are ones you have dealt with yourself?

That’s Jen. She’s what we’d call “a fixer”. The connection she had with Steve was strong enough that what others might perceive as red flags, she saw as things they could overcome. Together. No matter what it took.
But the problem with fixers is that they often fail to see what they’re losing in themselves, in trying to help the other person.

Relationships can be a lot like games — you win some, you lose some, and just when you think you know the rules, they change. There are highs, lows, and the occasional plot twist you don’t see coming. 

But the thing about games is when they’re over, you usually get a clean slate — a chance to reset and start again. But sometimes, just when it’s over… that’s when the real games begin.

“In sickness and in health.”

Words usually reserved for traditional wedding vows — not the beginning of a relationship in your early twenties.
But for Lucy and Lars, that was exactly how their story began.

The thing about being sick in your twenties is that you carry an unshakable belief that you’ll bounce back. You’re young, after all.

But what happens when the illness lingers — an unsolved mystery that slowly takes over your life, your love, and the person you once were?

The Relationship Guy. An elusive, rare breed in this day and age - the guy who loves being someone’s person, who wants and enjoys the simplicity and comfort of being with a partner - no questioning if he likes you, no wondering how long you should wait to text - no drama.

And once you’re at this level of comfort, it’s all smooth sailing. He’s The Relationship Guy, after all. Commitment and stability is his whole thing. Or....is it?

Patterns. They’re what keep us grounded — the familiar rhythms that shape our routines and relationships. When they’re good, they bring comfort, joy, and a sense of home. And honestly, you just can’t get enough of them.

But the thing about patterns is — not all of them are good. Some sneak up on you, starting small, barely noticeable at first. Then, before you realise it, they’ve taken hold — and suddenly, your whole life feels like it’s been turned upside down.

Religion. We often talk about the role it plays in a relationship - two people coming from different backgrounds with different beliefs. But when you find the right person, differences in belief systems don’t mean a thing, if you know you want to be together.

So when a relationship starts - and progresses - with that being the only difference, you’d never expect it to be something else entirely that blows up your relationship - and ultimately, your life.

Sometimes in life, you might feel like you’re missing a certain something but not be up for the fuss and mess and commitment that a real relationship may bring. Enter the situationship. A bit of fun with a nice person who makes you feel good, no strings attached.

But life often has its way of making even them messy. Sometimes it’s because of feelings getting involved. Sometimes it’s because it’s harder to get out of than expected. And sometimes, it’s because it turns out to not be the fun-loving easy-going situation you thought you were getting.

First love - remember that? The innocent fun, the inseparability, the rush of emotions, and all those unforgettable firsts. For Suzy and John, that was exactly what it was like.

The thing about first love is that one of the “firsts” is the breakup - a rite of passage, but never an easy one. But what happens when you go through two breakups at once? One with your ex, and another with someone you never imagined could…or should.. break your heart.

Belief systems run deep within us, etched into our nature and reinforced through our upbringing. We are moulded by the adults who surround us, people who, often with the best of intentions, shape our understanding of the world and pass down the lessons of life.

But sometimes, the very truths you were raised on harden into lies, and you’re left with no choice but to unlearn them, because your survival, your very sense of self, depends on it.

When friendship turns into love, it feels less like a leap and more like coming home. There is risk in crossing that line, but when it works, love born from friendship carries a rare intimacy - and that was the case for Simone and Antony.

But when lovers turn into strangers, it’s the most painful and quiet heartbreak of all. That person you knew so intimately, relied on so heavily, was now someone who you didn’t really know at all

Matchmaking: we've all attempted it, and we've all probably been set up before. But when you enlist the help of professionals, they just might deliver exactly what you've been looking for. At least, that's what happened for Liv and Ali.

We’ve all heard the saying: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. But isn’t that a terrible way to look at life? Because if you go into everything with negativity, you might miss the best thing that could ever happen.

Moving in together. Some do it quickly, some choose to wait a while. For Fiona and Steve, it was the former, wasting no time in creating their own special memories and routines. Plus, it really is the best way to really get to know someone.

But even though you share a space, there are always places to hide secrets. Secrets that when found, will have you questioning whether you ever really knew that person at all.

When it comes to relationships, there are great relationships, terrible relationships, broken relationships and all those relationships in between.

But there’s another kind we don’t talk about that often. Perhaps because it’s not really a relationship? It's the situationship.

While not having a title, they can be just as intense, confusing, all consuming and chaotic as something more official. Just ask Amanda.

It’s often said women have a sixth sense. Our guts are strong and can play a big part in whether we trust someone or not.

But a gut instinct isn’t evidence. Can our bodies play tricks on us? We can choose to ignore, to live with the icky feelings or, we can confront them head on? That was the question Claire had to keep asking herself for almost 4 years.

Not every relationship is perfect. Christ, none are really! But some are far less perfect than others.Unfortunately, though she didn’t really see it at the time, that was the one Alice found herself in.

But she loved him. Isn’t that what we so often hear? You let things slide, you ignore the little things in pursuit of more of the great times.

But what about when they’re not just little things anymore, but instead something really, really big?

We all know what they say — if there are question marks or gut feelings early on in a relationship, it’s probably because it’s not the right one. Your match should be someone with who you have no doubts. It should be easy.

But sometimes even the best, strongest and happiest relationships can carry secrets. Some small and insignificant in the scheme of things. But others, no matter how hard they’ve been hidden, once out can destroy everything.

Trust. It’s the pillar of any relationship — romantic or not. That’s what Indy believes. She also thinks there’s no reason NOT to give it out when you first meet someone.

But others would disagree, arguing trust should be earned. That, Indy reckons, is just going into life with a negative attitude and nobody’s got time for that. So what could possibly happen to make someone with her shiny outlook do a complete 180?

There are many great loves women can find in their lives. Best friends, sisters, ‘The One’, the one who got away and of course, the gay best friend.

It really is a love like no other. And because it’s a friendship, deep and fulfilling but platonic, it doesn’t have the same pressures as a romantic relationship. Nothing could ever come between you, or change what you have. Until, it does.

Money. We work hard for it. It can bring so much joy, especially when shared with loved ones to create long lasting memories, as was the case for Bianca.

But there’s a dark side to money. Or more so how it can turn acts of kindness into entrapment and loved ones into vultures.

Acceptance. We all crave it and it makes us feel good. But it feels extra special when it comes at a time in need and from someone who you immediately fancy and this was the case when Sacha met Jay.

But the thing about acceptance is that when you have it, it’s something you’re scared to lose. Even if what originally felt so good, starts to feel isolating and….off. And what once felt safe, feels very, very scary.

The power of the sisterhood. Isn’t it glorious? Female friendships can really be the true, Great Loves of our lives. Lucy certainly felt it with her bestie, Holly.

The best thing about a girlfriend? They’re there through everything. The good times and the bad, all the hurt and the heartbreaks. Unless of course, they’re the one who caused them.

Age differences. Do they really mean anything? You’re only as old as the person you feel, age is but a number, etc etc etc. It doesn’t matter when you’re in love, right? That was the case for Carly. She’ll be the first person to tell you age doesn’t mean a damn thing when you find your One. But whether age is the problem or not, some love stories just don’t end the way we plan.

A heads up: this episode deals with serious themes including domestic violence, coercive control and suicide. Listener discretion is advised. 

We always hear how great a relationship is when it begins. Why else would it, right? There’s butterflies, late nights staying up talking, a sense of belonging, desire and comfort. Having that one person to plan life with and who’s just desperate to have you around all the time.

But what about when that desperation becomes too much and starts looking and feeling more like … control? And then that control becomes worrying .. and scary … and dangerous?

Online dating. We've all heard a story - good or bad. It’s the way of the world now. You log on, upload your best pics, think of a few witty pickup lines and get swiping. And if you're lucky, you won’t be swiping too long, because the perfect person is right there at the tap of a button - without having to even leave the couch.

But how well can you really know someone before you’ve actually met them? How can you trust everything they’re telling you? Where they say they live, what their job is, or their true intentions?

The blindside. A simple term, but it can mean so much. It comes in many forms. There’s of course the good sort, where the unexpected is a welcome, happy surprise.

But, it can be a bad thing too. And For Sarah, there were other things she didn’t see coming. That other type of blindside that only other people experience. One that turns a seemingly dreamy life together, into a complete nightmare.

The trick to mastering manifestation is to speak what you seek until you see what you’ve said. And when the universe not only listens, but delivers, it is a truly powerful thing, which was exactly the case, for Jess.

But what is more powerful than manifestation at its best, dear listener? It’s that little thing called gut feeling. When everything seems perfect, but your intuition suggests otherwise. Sometimes it’s subtle, but other times it raises an internal alarm that cannot be ignored

And a heads up this episode mentions sexual and domestic violence - if you or someone you know needs help you can call 1800 RESPECT the national domestic, family and sexual violence counselling, information and support service.
