Parenthood and separate beds? Say it ain’t so!
Hey RC. It has recently come to my attention that at least 3 of my married friends who have young children (anywhere from 6 months to 3yrs old) sleep in seperate beds to their husbands. Being a non-married, non-mother, this fills me with horror! When I have questioned them, they have all said…

About RC
reality chick is the creation of two Sydney journalists, Pip Harry and Rachel Smith. (We’re not sure where the superhero bit comes from, but we think cocktails were probably involved.)
Why are we qualified to give advice? Well, we’re not, technically. But between us, our love life experience spans every hook-up avenue you could think of (Speed Dating and RSVP included), over six live-in relationships, numerous messy break-ups, one cheating ex, an impending marriage, motherhood – and about a gazillion insight-gathering deep’n’meaningfuls with our friends, family, psychologists and yes, even the odd stranger. So if you want another perspective from a gal who’s probably been in your shoes, then ask reality chick. We’re sure you’ll be glad you did. RC's musings
Is brutal honesty essential in a relationship?
One of my favourite moments in cinema when Tom Cruise is having problems with his deeply unpleasant girlfriend Avery in Jerry Maguire. Just before she punches him in the nose and unceremoniously dumps him, she reminds him they had a deal in their relationship…
The science of falling in love
When it comes to falling in love, we like to believe in that cute notion that it’s a chemical thing. But what’s the real reason behind the funny feelings you get when you fancy someone? How do you explain sweaty palms, butterflies and the crazy things we do while in the grip of a wild sexual torment? And does love at first sight exist? These quirky studies may have the answers…

THE COUNCIL OF DADS
By Bruce Feiler
Hachette Australia
$29.99, Out now
Once upon a time, award-winning journalist Bruce Feiler made a living by walking around the world and documenting his experiences. But when he was diagnosed with cancer in 2008, his first thought wasn’t about not being able to walk, but rather, who’d play ‘dad’ to his three-year-old twin daughters, Eden and Tybee, if he didn’t make it…
Relationships
Bad case of cold feet – or something more? Dear RC, I’m 25, have been with my partner for six years and we’re getting married soon. When he proposed I was stressed. I thought it was normal in the moment and everything and said yes. Since then I haven’t been into the wedding planning much. I’m more interested in my friends’ lives – they are mostly all single and a bunch are going overseas together…
Sex, love + lust
My ex has become a phone sex pest! My ex boyfriend took some footage of us having sex on his phone and now he’s showing it to his friends. One of them told me he’d seen it. I’m mortified and want him to delete the footage immediately. Should I get legal advice? I’m terrified he’s going to post in on the net…
Something else entirely
Should I get a brazilian for love? My boyfriend’s previous partners have all been into downstairs grooming and he bugs me constantly to get a Brazilian. I had one once and was so traumatised I never went back. But as a hirsute gal should I do it for love?
The dating scene
Facebook and dating … a little help, RC! I’ve been seeing a guy for five months and have a few questions about Facebook etiquette. First of all, when is the appropriate time to change your relationship status? I feel like such an idiot asking this, but…
