About this episode

Welcome to the very first episode of Where You Left Them, the Dadhugsforyoursoul podcast with Harry and Emma. This podcast dives deep into the messy, heartbreaking, and sometimes unbelievable realities of modern relationships. It’s not therapy, but it is real: raw stories from real people, told honestly, with empathy, humour, and perspective.

In our first story, we meet Kate, who thought she was living the dream: twenty years with Rich, the partner who seemed like her perfect match. They had the house, the holidays, the reputation of being that couple. But in a single weekend, it all shattered.

What follows is an unflinching look at betrayal, self-doubt, and the struggle to rebuild a sense of self when everything you trusted collapses. Harry and Emma unpack the story in the studio.

I feel Rich should have told her that he was in love with her sister years ago and I think he took the cowardly way out .

I doubt the text Rich sent was actually an accident.

Wow, that was a crazy story. I really liked you honest, compassionate response to kate at the end. It is so heartbreaking that a human can influct so much pain in another and seemingly "get away with it". There is still a part of me that wants to see karma slap him in the face!

Loved the relaxed format of the 2nd podcast. Still don’t have sympathy for Rich but am keen to get a hug from the merch.

If adding levity to the podcast seems unnecessary to me, because I found the first part quite light and at times funny, is there something wrong with me? (rhetorical question 🤪) Anyway, trying my luck and commenting: Rich (for whom I still feel a bit of sympathy).

Thank you for sharing this very interesting and at the same time very sad case. It always takes two to tango I believe. Kate gave up on herself with doing stuff she really didn't enjoy and was so obsessed to ignore the red flags, which are obviously difficult see, when you are busy to entertain the "perfect couple" image. Rich is a 100% no go with years of betraying her, without taking accountability for what he did...a very weak guy, low self-esteem and zero emotional intelligence. I really hope she will find her true self after going to this horrendous betrayal.🙏❤

I think Richard has been deceitful and dishonest to himself. he could do with doing some personal development on his own behaviours and beliefs. Perhaps buying the packs too. 5 years is a very long lie Richard.

I’m pretty sure I may be an anxious person who is emotionally unavailable. Am I doomed? Do I have twice the work to do?
