Hey lifers!

Our guest Ask Uncut is BACK! Once a month (ish 😂) we bring in a special guest to help unpack your deep and burning questions, and this month's guest is friend of the show Mitch Churi! You know his voice, you love his chaos, and he may or may not have broken Brittany's chair during an important TV meeting, but that's a whole other story. Mitch is a comedian, actor, host, podcaster and apparently now a videographer (don't ask).

Then we jump into your questions!

I CAME OUT AT 31. AM I BEHIND?
I came out at 31 and while I have zero regrets about who I am, I sometimes feel quite jealous of people who knew earlier in their life. I feel like I've missed a whole chapter and that my teens and 20s felt a bit fake, like I wasn't even myself. I also wonder if I'm taken as seriously in the queer community because I'm so new to it. My straight friends have a decade of relationship experience on me and I feel like I'm starting from scratch in my 30s. Is this a weird feeling and should I just get over it, or is it a common experience?

CAN I FAKE A DIETARY REQUIREMENT TO AVOID MY IN-LAWS' COOKING?
Is it okay to fake a dietary requirement to get out of a dinner situation? My partner's family does a big group dinner every few months and I genuinely dread it. The food is always aggressively bad. Everything tastes like it has ten times the amount of herbs and spices it should. I've started considering telling them I've developed a gluten intolerance so I have a built-in excuse to either bring my own food or bow out entirely. I am, in fact, not gluten intolerant. Is this really wrong, or would you do the same thing?

MY BEST FRIEND IS TRYING TO BE AN INFLUENCER AND I WANT TO MUTE HER
My best friend has recently started posting so much on Instagram and I think she's trying to become an influencer. It's a mix of fitness and mummy blogging content. She posts stories all day, every day, and usually at least two posts a day. She will sometimes send me posts and ask me to share or comment on them. Am I allowed to just mute her? I love her to death but I cannot take it anymore and find myself eye-rolling every time something comes up. She has around 2000 followers so surely she's not checking who's engaging... right?

MY PARTNER LOST HIS JOB AND I DON'T RECOGNISE HIM ANYMORE
My partner was let go from his job six months ago. He worked in tech sales and it came as quite a shock. He was always motivated, but fast forward to now and he's become a shell of the person he was before. He's tried to find a job in a similar field but has had no luck, and I feel like he's stopped looking as hard. He's sleeping in a lot and when I try to talk to him about it, he gets really defensive and shuts down. Financially we are okay because he was a good saver, but that pot is declining and I'm being expected to cover more and more. Our sex life has completely dried up and we haven't been on a date night in months. I don't recognise him anymore. What can I do to get him, and us, back on track?
