And it is time for Ask Uncut.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Now. We do this every Thursday on our podcast Life Uncut,
and it's where you, guys, you call up, you send
in your biggest, deep as darkest problems and Brittain night.
Even though we are very unqualified, we're extremely enthusiastic advice
givers and we will give you our best advice.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I froth it, I love it.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I I've got part the advice, giving all the problems
and also just like hearing other people's problems. All right,
well here's a good one. I've got a question for you.
Well it's from Jack and it has to do with
road ray.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Why don't we ask Jack what the question is. I'm
just about to thank you Jack.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Hey guys, So I wanted to talk about my girlfriend, who, yeah,
gets really bad road rage. Like I can kind of
understand if someone like cuts you off in traffic or
is driving aggressively or that kind of thing, but she'll
just like lose her mind, Like if someone's driving a
bit slowly or stupidly or whatever, she'll get really really angry,
like really short fused, and like it's even gotten to
(00:55):
the point where I can't drive with her in the
passenger seat because she just it's so angry so quickly.
I don't know. Is that normal? Like is that a
red flag?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Because normal?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
But it's unusual to get passenger road rage as well,
Like quite often the road rage comes from the person
in control.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Maybe she has control issues. Is this deeper than we think?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
That's what it feels like. It feels like, why are
you losing your mind? But like is this an avenue
for you to get angry at me? Is this about
something else? And I don't really know how to even
talk to her about it.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Has there been a specific incident that's like really kind
of tipped it over the edge or so She's just
always been angry in a car.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I think she's always been pretty angry. There was one
time where she got out of a car when someone
was driving pretty aggressively like that I could understand.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
It from No, you can't say that, you can understand it.
She got out of the car.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
What did she do when she got out? Very dangerous?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I mean, she's not really like a yeller, or she's
not somebody that I would worry about getting into a
physical fight or anything like that. But gets out of
the car starts walking towards the car that cut us off,
and thankfully they drove off, so I don't know where
that would have gone.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Well, question Jack, when you said she's always angry in
the car?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Is she always angry full stop?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Like?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Is she angry in the house? Is she angry in
the day to day?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Not really, which is why it feels like a bit
of a red flag to me, Like it feels like,
is this your placed event? Is this your place to
get angry at me about other things that you're afraid
to talk about or something. How long have you guys
been together for three?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Is is it escalating?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I mean in the car it is, but it isn't elsehere.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
I mean I think it depends what it is, right, Like,
I don't think it's a red flag in terms of
you need to break up, but maybe you just need
to say to her, hey, look, you need to chill
a bit, because when you're like this in the car, it.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Gives me anxiety.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
And when I'm driving and trying to concentrate and you
are losing it, like it's not good for anyone. But
I think you just need to say put it back
into you, like when you're in control it's like, Hey,
this sends me over the edge of it, and I'm
trying to drive the car, Like, let's just try and
calm down.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I can't keep getting about it. Take different means of travel.
Just don't be in a car together. Car you can
get the bar. So that's unrealistic. You're always going to
drive in a car together. But if she's screaming about everything,
what do you think is gonna happen when he says,
get the bus, how's that going to go? You could
get the bars.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I look, obviously a conversation needs to be had, but
people can sometimes be very defensive when you try and
let them know that they've got a certain behavior. If
they don't see it in themselves, sometimes it's tricky for
them to realize, actually it's not appropriate.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Laura. That was you didn't give any advice. I just
didn't get the bars. No one's getting the bars. Jack
is not getting the bus because his wife's angry.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Okay, wait, if you have one more question, Jack, are
you're actually considering breaking up because of how angry she
gets in the car?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I'm worried that, yes, it will cause a fracture in
the relationship. That won't be able to be repaired.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I think therapy is probably a good thing for maybe
your partner to undergo.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Could help get to the road.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Suggests in a safe place, pillows soft.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That's definitely that's definitely an inside the house chat that one. Anyway,
Good luck Jack, Thank you guys, You're so welcome.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
We didn't know that we helped. He's like, thank you
so much for giving.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
That's terrible.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I don't know what you do with that.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
If you just have someone who's so angry inside a car,
we have to make them believe.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
That what they're doing is putting other people in danger. Okay,
Like I said, it just has to be like, hey,
I need to concentrate. You can't be like throwing things
out the window at people and yelling when I'm driving.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Well, look, I mean feel like everybody experiences road rage
to different levels.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
But that's extreme. Yeah, we've seen you do it, law, Yeah,
And it is time for Ask Uncut.
