Exes. We’ve all had one and we’ve all been one. And while breakups can be painful and heart-breaking, a complete surprise or a total relief, there’s always a story to be told.
This documentary-style series, narrated by Georgia Love, brings you a collection of unconventional stories about relationships past, through the eyes and the hearts of the very people who lived them.
Tales of public humiliation and prison to forbidden love and funerals; we bring you the good, the bad and all the juicy details in between.
Everyone Has An Ex explores the deep intricacies of relationships, the curve-balls life throws at you and overcoming adversity through resilience, honesty and a few glasses of wine.

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 Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.au Follow us: @everyonehasanex TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussions of pregnancy loss, which may be distressing for some listeners.

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. But, dear listener, matchmaking is a game of two halves. How you look on paper is only surface level, and when you scratch that surface, surprises await. Some are good, some are indifferent, and some you never saw coming.

Starting fresh. It’s a wonderful, scary and exciting thing. You can leave an old life behind and start discovering a whole new way of living, new experiences, finding new people and finding yourself. But while those new experiences may seem fun and exciting in the beginning, they can take a dark and dangerous turn.

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.But, dear listener, the saying is a saying for a reason. What if sometimes when your gut is telling you this may all be just TOO good… it is?Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanexSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

What would you do, Dear Listener, if you found out something about your partner that changed the very fabric of your relationship, at a point when you felt you were too far in? Would you cut and run, or would you trust the fact you’ve now found out and try to move on? So maybe you do keep moving forward. Maybe you move forward for six years. But through and after it all, it turns out what you’d thought was the issue didn’t even scratch the surface.Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanexSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.Email us: everyonehasanex@mintymedia.com.auFollow us: @everyonehasanex CREDITS:Host: Georgia Love Producer: Linda ScottAudio Producer: Scott Stronach SUBSCRIBE: Become a Mamamia Subscriber here.
