Ali met Andy when she was 14 and was instantly knew she was going to date him. 12 years of drama later...

CW: Mention of sexual assault.

Ali and Andy were high school sweethearts, almost fated to be together since they were cast in a play together as bride and groom.

The first date was a dream, (where she had to tell him it was OK to kiss her) but what followed was 12 years of dizzying highs and soul-destroying lows.

So how do you extricate yourself from a relationship that keeps reeling you back in, when it's oh so bad for you?

When your partner is an expert at changing the goalposts it’s impossible to win. 

After a whirlwind romance, Sarah thought she’d found the love of her life.

But far from a fairytale, what it became was a dangerous dance of ever-changing expectations and a partner who could never relinquish control.

Sarah talks about how difficult it is to realise something is wrong from the inside of a toxic relationship, and how she finally overcame the master manipulator and got her strength back.

She says listening to Ghosts of Boyfriends Past and subsequently recoding this episode has been a great step in the healing process, and she is finally stepping back and seeing things as they really are.

Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but as Emma found out it's best cooked up by two sassy women scorned! This week we have a tale of two gals teaming up in the most deliciously petty way to get back at the man who wronged them.

As the title of this podcast suggests, it's normally the boyfriends past who haunt our guests, but for Emma, it was the girls her ex moved on with haunting her Insta stories.

But in a strange twist of circumstances, Emma formed an unlikely friendship with one of them and as they healed through sharing, a unique opportunity for petty revenge presented itself.

First dates are a bit of a mess, especially when you're meeting a total stranger. But when he forgets his wallet and changes your plans without telling you... stuff gets a bit weird.

Aimee is an Australian actress, writer and producer.

After performing in a primary school production of a play called “Who Am I?” Aimee ironically found the answer to the question the title asked - she’s a performer, a storyteller, an actor.

Always a creative child, Aimee's interest in the performing arts spiked at age 12 when she watched The Devil Wears Prada. Inspired by Meryl Streep's portrayal of Miranda Priestly (and what descended into an obsession with Streep’s body of work), Aimee realised that acting wasn't just something she wanted to do as an after school hobby.

A lover of learning, Aimee holds a Bachelor of Creative Industries, majoring in Drama and Media & Communication from the Queensland University of Technology. She is also a graduate of the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts and the Brisbane Academy of Musical Theatre.

She also hosts the Love Bachually podcast on the That's Not Canon network.

Hearing a rumour your love is cheating on you is one thing... hearing that he's cheating on you with a family member is a whole other ballgame. Get ready for this ROLLERCOASTER of an episode!

CW: This episode included mentions of sexual assault.

Lana thought she'd found her knight in shining armour after her new man rescued her from a nasty situation and became her emotional rock... but when the rumours of cheating started, things got muddy.

But then she heard who his alleged mistress was.

Brett knew online dating could work from past experience, but when he decided to give it another go, it didn't quite go to plan.

One of the biggest lessons in the world of internet dating seems to be if it feels too good to be true, it probably is.

He produces shows for a commercial radio network and writes the weekly Mister Brisbane newsletter (MisterBrisbane.com), which he also reads on Reading Radio and publishes as a podcast.

EPISODE NOTES: Tilly is a Brisbane local and enthusiastic audience member. She practices consensual non-monogomy and relationship anarchy, and her nesting partner is her wonky cat Bruce.

Let's talk about ex, baby! Your hosts Liz and Tom introduce you to your next bingeable listen about love gone bad, and start the ball rolling with their own unlucky in love stories. Let's just say lessons were learned (or weren't but DEFINITELY should have been).

In this episode of Ghosts of Boyfriends Past, we meet our hosts former relationship columnist Elizabeth Best and current all-round funny guy Tom Harris. And because fair is fair. the pair share two of the more awkward stories from their relationship past and what they learnt (or SHOULD have learnt). If the guests have to go through it, so should the hosts! And you listeners need to get to know who you're listening to, and why they're completely (un)qualified to talk about relationship troubles.

Liz also talks about how the podcast came about and what we can expect from this season: think all funny, tragic, heartbreaking, horrifying and just plain bonkers stories of relationship fails and the people who picked themselves back up again, dusted themselves of and jumped once more into the crazy little thing called love.

Brisbane's own puzzle master James Elliot chats about his time in a polyamorous relationship with a narcissist. When he reached out to a support group for advice, the answer he got was not what he expected. Here he chats with Liz and Tom about the poly community and how to navigate an open relationship.

Glossary of terms James couldn't remember:

LIMERENCE: A strong desire for, longing for, or preoccupation with another person, accompanied by a sometimes overwhelming desire for reciprocation. Limerence may be accompanied by idealization of the person so desired. Etymology: The term limerence was coined by Dr. Dorothy Tennov, who described it in her book Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love (Scarborough House, 1979, ISBN 0812862864). Commentary: Limerence is distinct from new relationship energy in that it is more akin to what people commonly call a “crush,” and may not be associated with a relationship at all. Some researchers have linked limerence to quantifiable physiological processes in the brain, particularly to depressed levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Some people in the polyamory community use the word limerence as a synonym for new relationship energy, though this usage is not technically correct.

NEW RELATIONSHIP ENERGY (NRE): A strong, almost giddy feeling of excitement and infatuation common in the beginning of any new romantic relationship. While similar in some ways to limerence, new relationship energy is distinct in that it often follows the beginning of a relationship (as opposed to desire for a relationship), and can last as long as several years. Contrast old relationship energy. Commentary: Some researchers believe that new relationship energy is the result of the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin, which are released by the brain during the start of a new relationship and after a mother gives birth and are believed to have a role in emotional bonding and in the feelings of happiness and well-being that often accompany the start of a new relationship.

WIBBLE: A feeling of insecurity, typically temporary or fleeting, when seeing a partner being affectionate with someone else. Wibbley: of or related to wibble, as Seeing those two together makes me feel wibbley. Contrast compersion, frubble. Usage:Primarily British; less common outside the United Kingdom.

COMPERSION: A feeling of joy when a partner invests in and takes pleasure from another romantic or sexual relationship. Commentary: Compersion can be thought of as the opposite of “jealousy;” it is a positive emotional reaction to a lover’s other relationship. The term was coined by the Kerista Commune

Paula probably should have noped out of this relationship when she didn't give a guy her number but he managed to track her down anyway.

EPISODE NOTES:

When Paula's future date said nothing was of the table conversation wise in their first meeting, she had no idea that he really meant NOTHING. Or that he was serious when he gave her first date homework. She probably should have noped out when she didn't give him her number but he tracked her down anyway.

This ridiculous series of dates is what happens when red flags go ignored.

When your friend is a little down you could give them a hug, or a reassuring text... or in Johanna's case you could offer up your own boyfriend.

EPISODE NOTES:

In one of the most awkward encounters of all time, Jo talks all about how self esteem issues affect us in strange ways and how sometimes being the nice girl is a way to find yourself touching your friend's boob.

And sometimes, people are just dirty rotten cheaters, even if you *technically* did push them into it in the first place.

A date, on a tractor, in an abandoned constructions site, at night? Jackie says yes. And then there was the "yoga" date that was ... well ... even we don't quite know how to explain it. The word cult comes to mind? London-based voice actor and stand-up comedian Jacqueline Ozorio has been on some interesting dates.

Jackie is a London-based trained voice actor with a passion for character work and storytelling.

To further my career as a performer, she moved to London after completing her postgrad in Scriptwriting at Griffith University. She was later accepted into the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (RCSSD) where she completed an MA in Music Theatre.

Jackie then wrote her first musical, a modern feminist comedy called ‘Real Women', alongside musical director and composer Matthew Samer, which enjoyed great success in the 2015 Queensland Cabaret Festival.

Since 2018 she's been a regular on the Penny Peepshow podcast, and love the challenge of giving life to so many different characters. Alongside her professional voice over and theatre work, she can also be found doing stand-up comedy on London's open mic circuit.

To keep herself fresh and engaged, she also trains in long-form improv with London's largest improv school, the Free Association, and in her spare time she loves to play DnD, watch horror films, and knit hats on the tube.

Ah first love... the one that knocks you on your ass and makes you dream of the wedding, babies and white picket fences. But Eloise found out the hard way that there's a lot of time for temptation between teen romance and walking down the aisle.

EPISODE NOTES:

Eloise is a massive nerd and will talk your ear off about all things Doctor Who if you let her (she probably won’t wait though). Currently she’s attempting to write her own episode, because frankly anything will be better than the tripe Chibnall gave us last year. Eloise has officially traipsed the boards for 15 years, singing, acting, and attempting to dance. After many an awful boyfriend, she met her husband whilst acting at the Brisbane Arts Theatre. They now have two beautiful children which Eloise writes about in her parenting blog.

Follow her truth bombs at truthmummy.wordpress.com

Eloise’s not so secret guilty pleasure is collecting brooches and you can follow her obsession and immense collection on Instagram: @eloisedundastaylor.

Her other artistic exploits includes drawing, painting, and cross stitching (when she has the time). After practising tae kwon-do for 21 years, she packed that in and took up Irish Dancing instead. It’s still a work out for the legs let me tell you.

Eloise has also been attempting to get her own podcast about movies off the ground, but whilst this is a work in progress she’s settled for just appearing on other people’s podcasts instead.

One week is a long time to spend with a blind date... Brooke's first real relationship was conducted almost entirely by message back in the days of tumblr. And then they decided to meet. And Brooke learnt the hard way that you should probably have met the person you're sharing a hotel room with.

Brooke Reilly is a theatre maker and comedian, best known for her loves of obnoxious shirts and talking about herself. She’s currently in her final semester of a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Drama, and is currently attempting to mark her territory in Brisbane as a reasonably interesting and funny stage person. She also used to work at BuzzFeed. Please, try and keep it in your pants.

Catch her on instagram @brooke.lr, and keep an eye out for her upcoming ‘brooke and friends’ open mic, or perhaps her upcoming Anywhere Theatre Festival Show, ‘This Car Is Going To Crash’.

Glossary terms:

Mentionitis: when you can't stop talking about someone so you drop them into almost every conversation.

Situationship: a romantic relationship based on convenience or short-term circumstances. That doesn't mean a situationship can't have some or even all the trappings of a regular relationship, including an emotional connection.

Scott and Amy are married. Scott and Amy also have other partners. Plural. So what does this mean for them? Do they get jealous? How did they get here? And most importantly: how on earth do they juggle several partners when Liz is exhausted by the idea of one?

EPISODE NOTES:

Scott calls himself an ethical non-monogamist. Amy says she's a relationship anarchist. They've been married for 20 years, and they also have other partners. Plural. So what does this mean for them? Do they get jealous? How did they get here? And most importantly: how on earth do they juggle several partners when Liz is exhausted by the idea of one?

Scott and Amy Driscoll are Brisbane performers with groups such as Act/React and Impro Mafia.

Below are some terms discussed in the episode.

Polyamory

Polyamory is the practice of, or desire for, intimate relationships with more than one partner, with the informed consent of all partners involved. It has been described as "consensual, ethical, and responsible non-monogamy".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamory

It is just one type of ethical non-monogamy and can be interpreted very differently by different individuals.

Poly-saturated

Amy’s term for maxing out your dating capacity. “I’ve deleted all my dating apps. I’m poly-saturated at the moment and have no time to see anyone.”

Multiamory

An excellent podcast offering new ideas and advice for multiple forms of love: everything from conscious monogamy to ethical polyamory and radical relationship anarchy. Some very intense deep dives into communication.

https://www.multiamory.com/podcast

The Ethical Slut

First published in 1997, The Ethical Slut discusses how to live an active life with multiple concurrent sexual relationships in a fair and honest way. Discussion topics include how to deal with the practical difficulties and opportunities in finding and keeping partners, maintaining relationships with others, and strategies for personal growth.

Relationship Anarchy

… is very hard to define succinctly. Values include self-direction, removal of default relationship hierachies and allowing relationships to progress without expectations around a set of progressive stages (see "Relationship Escalators").

The manifesto is here : https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/andie-nordgren-the-short-instructional-manifesto-for-relationship-anarchy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_anarchy

Unicorn Hunters

A married couple looking for a hot bisexual woman. This is one of the most sought-after arrangements when a couple new to polyamory looks to open their relationship. Couples usually discover such a woman is almost impossible to find. This Web site explains why.

CW: domestic abuse, psychological abuse.

You never think that you'll end up in a relationship that's abusive... and as Alex found out, sometimes you convince yourself you aren't in one even when the evidence is mounting up.

EPISODE NOTES: You never think that you'll end up in a relationship that's abusive... and as Alex found out, sometimes you convince yourself you aren't in one even when the evidence is mounting up. Alongside the denial comes justification, self blame and confusion, all wrapped up in a blanket of what you thought was love. It can be really hard to come to terms with what's happened, but even harder not to look back through rose coloured glasses.

Alex Smith is a Brisbane-based singer-songwriter. Alex writes songs of love, the desire to follow your dreams and the difficulties of growing up in today's world. While his albums boast sensational string sections and a thousand-man choir, his live shows are intimate sessions with just the crowd, the man and the music. He hosts the podcast My Songs Suck.

We have an answer to our unconventional how-did-you-meet call out, a woman is forced to get sleuthing on the internet to confirm suspicions and someone needs to learn how to properly pull off a practical joke. You'll laugh, you'll wince and hopefully enjoy the minisode!

If you know of someone who has a relationship or dating story that just HAS to be shared, then dob them in and get them to write us at ghostsofboyfriendspast@gmail.com. We'll also take a rate or review off your hands for you 🙂

Thank you for tuning in!

Tilly knew traditional dating didn’t really suit her but wasn’t really sure what else there was out there. This is the story of how she discovered a dating method that suited her, and how much visibility and representation matters.

Tilly is a Brisbane local and enthusiastic audience member. She practices consensual non-monogomy and relationship anarchy, and her nesting partner is her wonky cat Bruce. You might also remember her from our episode Amy, Scott and the Polycule, although Scott gave her a different name because our show has RULES, people. That's right, she's one of Scott's partners.

She also featured in her own episode, Tilly and All The First Dates.

She considers first dates to be her hobby, and is hoping to eventually find a date who will match her passion for Survivor.

It's minisode time and we've found the best/most horrific dating stories from you the listeners and online to make you feel better about your own dating lives.

Our terrific little Reader elves have certainly been busy, more than matching our call to arms for any dating stories that revolve around Multi-Level Marketing. We've had Readers recruited for self-help and Readers recruited for health and well-being. Imagine having your body weight queried on a first date!?!

There's also a steamy story as a reward for sitting through the awkward stuff off the top!

Thank you for tuning into Ghosts of Boyfriends Past. Write in if you have ever had to smoke-bomb from a date out of desperation at ghostsofboyfriendspast@gmail.com and rate, review, and share our show in our endeavor to slowly change the dating world for the better!

Nadia made a career out of writing about her sex life… but then she realized she might just be playing a role that hid her true self.

She has written extensively about sex, love, and living with mental illness - as well as being a millennial woman trying to do it all.

Ghosts’ own Liz Best takes the hot seat this week for another tale from her hot mess ex vault. This week it’s all about that time she dated a Patrick Swayze doppelgänger who definitely left baby in the corner.

Elizabeth is the host of Ghosts of Boyfriends Past and Castology podcasts, both on the That's Not Canon Network.

A journalist and former relationships columnist, Liz has made a career out of getting her ass kicked by love, and going on shit dates. In her spare time she's an actor, because working some emotional stuff out on stage is super cathartic.

You can also hear her voice actor stylings in the Mistholme Museum of Mystery Morbidity and Mortality as the Head of Restoration.

When Lucy fell in love and was proposed to, she said yes because, well… that was what we were supposed to do, right?

But things didn’t stay rosy for long. What started with random jealousy and small disparaging remarks from her husband escalated to much more sinister acts of coercive control and abuse that left Lucy losing her sense of self and fearing for her life.

When someone has spent nearly two decades convincing you that you’re the problem, and there’s two children in the mix, escape doesn’t seem like an option.

A NOTE FROM LIZ: This was a really heavy episode for everyone in the studio and I don’t feel like I adequately expressed myself in the “lessons learnt” section because my mind was still reeling. Now I’ve had time to reflect, I would like to tell anyone out there that a GOOD PERSON will never blame you for their lack of ability to control their behavior. When someone is abusive to you, it is not your fault. I want to tell anyone out there who recognizes themselves anywhere in this story to click on the links below or talk to someone, anyone, about what you’re going through. There is help, there is life after abuse, there is a way out.

Tom has the spicy cough known as Miss Rona, so Liz decides to bring producer Zane on mic for a minisode story. But thanks to listener Penny’s excellent writing skills and absolute SAGA of a relationship story, this one turned into one heck of a maxi-sode.

Buckle in, my friends, because this story of friends turned lovers turned cautionary tale is full of f**kery.
