Season 5 #4 Rosie Wilby

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!   Follow Rosie on Twitter @and Instagram @breakupmonologues and check out The Breakup Monologues here. And for more on my own long (long) and illustrious history of disastrous breakups, may I nudge you towards chapters 4 and 6 of How To Be Sad…! As ever, I so appreciate your feedback and reviews so keep them coming. Until next time x
