"You can have a male friend that's straight, majority of the time it's going to come out that they want something else'."
We're asking the age old question can men and women be friends. Aisling discusses the friendships she has lost when feelings haven't been reciprocated and the experience of grief after losing people she thought were genuine friends. We also discuss emotional affairs, "work husbands/ wives", the importance of keeping flirting with your partner and Aisling has advice for men of how to better connect with their partners.
Allan discusses the difficulties of being self employed, clients not turning up, not being paid even when they do and the conflict for therapists of being care givers and fee takers. Aisling is riled by the cost of health care down in Southern Ireland and we have a surprise guest appearance of Allan's son James!
