  • WWYD: how do I tell my best friend she won’t be my bridesmaid?
    May 12 2026

    It’s time to open the mailbox!

    This week you sent in questions about picking bridesmaids and your partner being uncomfortable with you having a male friend.

    QUESTION #1: I have 3 best friends and a sister which makes choosing bridesmaids really difficult. I’d love to have all of them but having bridesmaids is very costly. How would you break it to a best friend that you won’t be having her as a bridesmaid?

    QUESTION #2: I’ve recently become friends with my partner’s (straight, male) friend. My partner has mentioned a couple times that he feels at times uncomfortable with the dynamic. How do I navigate this without feeling like I’m being told who I can or can’t be friends with?

    WE MENTIONED

    The episode where we talk about sex dreams is called ‘What is your sex dream trying to tell you?’ https://pod.fo/e/3b874e

    We were overdue for a Q&A episode so that’s what we’re doing today and some of your questions got us good.

    We answer: what Laura would tell herself before she got pregnant, how Steph’s renovations are going, how Steph & Laura see their parents differently since becoming parents, and more!

    We love doing these episodes, so don’t be shy to slide into our DMs with questions at any time <3
