Rosie Wilby is a comedian, podcaster and author of The Breakup Monologues – about the unexpected joy of heartbreak and all we can learn from it. BBC Radio 4 described her as the ‘queen of breakups’ (what an accolade!) so she was the perfect guest for a chat about how to be sad, well. Here, we talk about:
- Break up grief
- …but how we get over it twice as quickly as we predict
- Friendship breakups
- Why divorce rates for gay women are so high
- Boredom in long-term relationships
- Cheating blackbirds…
- SSRIs and ‘anti-love drugs’
- Hormones and attraction
- Separate bed stigma
- Monogamy: pros and cons
- Finding love – and getting married!

As ever, I so appreciate your feedback and reviews so keep them coming. Until next time x
