The Quicky

Is the classic 'happily ever after' monogamous setup really the only path to love and commitment? Ever wondered if there's another way to a healthy, happy relationship?  Dan Savage introduced us to 'monogamish' decades ago, and he believes it's high time to rethink our romantic standards. But does the thought of sharing your partner with anyone in any way bringing out strong feelings of betrayal?  In this episode of The Quicky we explore the world of monogamy versus monogamish. We speak to a relationship expert to see if this is the relationship revolution we need or if we should stick to the status quo.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

In the end the Voice to Parliament referendum took just an hour and a half of counting to declare a definitive victory for the No campaign.  So where do we go from here? Can Anthony Albanese's Prime Ministership survive this loss? And where does this leave opposition leader and prominent no campaigner, Peter Dutton?  And now, as we all either celebrate or commiserate, where do Australia's First Nations pepple find themselves as the no vote sends a very clear message.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

The news this week has shown us moments from a conflict that has shocked, disgusted and saddened us all regardless of whose side you align with.  As adults, we can make the decision to put our devices down and stop scrolling to shield ourselves from the horror being posted across all social media platforms, but for our kids, who have even worse impulse control than us, how do we stop kids from seeing these disturbing things.  In this episode of The Quicky we find out how to keep our kids safe from the harrowing content flooding our timelines.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
