I am engaged but don't want to get married anymore?
I was with my fiancé for just under a year before we got engaged. It was a spur of the moment thing; I was very young and impressionable and loved the romantic thought of marriage and all that. I am 19, I don't believe I was mature enough to make the decision.
Nonetheless, we moved in together and it's been quite frustrating living with her. At first, it was all fun and we were seriously in love. Now living together it's lost its romance. She's constantly upset at me for things, even when they're not my fault. She turned into a really angry and nasty person. It just feels like she's a particularly bitchy roommate now.
I feel I'm too young to be married. She also wants to buy a house and have kids in the next three-five years, and I don't. I don't like kids and she wants to get a farmhouse where I prefer the city. But the problem is she's 24 now. She is more mature than me in many ways, and wants all these things. But I don't want these things. I want to tour (I'm a musician) and not be tied down. I want to travel and be with my friends. I've barely started my life. But I still really love her. I have thought many times about talking to her about it but every time I do I just think of how much it will hurt her and I can't bear it.
What should I do? Should I talk to her? What can I do that won't hurt her?

1 AnswerPersonal Finance7 years agoAm I still in the running for job?
I went for a job interview two days ago as a receptionist for a new company. In the interview the person interviewing said I was a perfect candidate for the role, and I took a computer skills and data entry test. It seemed positive until she called me this morning, saying that in the test I didn't put in an equation into Microsoft excel correctly, and asked if I knew the correct way. I did and I told her the correct way, it's just my version of excel was a previous one and didn't have the same functions. My fiancé told me that they wouldn't have called me and asked if I knew the correct way and would've just moved onto the next candidate if they didn't want me but I'm not sure. Can anyone with experience in this industry help me out? I really need this job
2 AnswersOther - Careers & Employment7 years agoDealer sold me a dodgy car?
So I purchased a used car from a registered dealer in Sydney Australia. It was a 94 Toyota Camry with 205k kilometres on the odo. It was issued a form 8 that said no warranty is given, however according to law the dealer must provide a pink slip to show it's road worthiness, and I did not receive one from him. Furthermore, four days later when I went to get the pink slip, it failed because of several problems, thus making it unroadworthy from the sale time standpoint. Two days after that the car engine stuffed up on me on the road and I was told the entire engine needs to be replaced. All because of pre-existing problems. Which I was not told about by the dealer. So I want to get a refund from him. I can bring up this pink slip issue, and not only did he fail to give me one he breached contract by saying he would supply one but it would've failed had he put it in so it was not possible to make good on this end of the deal. Therefore, a breached contract entitling me to a refund.
Have I got this right? What else can I do?
3 AnswersBuying & Selling7 years agoHelp with car repairs?
I went and put my 94 Toyota Camry to get pink slip and it failed cause of some problems. They gave me a list of problems:
Oil leaks from engine, transmission and drive line.
Engine/transmission mounting nor secured
Shock absorber/strut not working.
Windscreen wipers missing or inoperative
What I need to know is just how much that stuff would cost me to get fixed, and is there anything I can do myself to fix any of them?
Thanks :)
3 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs7 years agoHelp with a bad sunburn?
Ok so it is currently Wednesday, on Sunday I spent all day in the sun and got pretty badly sunburnt. I have blisters on my shoulders and the whole thing is so painful. Like I said its Wednesday so it's day 3 and the areas are still really hot to touch. I can't move my arms without pain, and my skin feels really tight. I put aloe vera cream on it, but I'm only able to put it on in the morning and night because my boss at work won't let me have time off and continues to give me 6-7 hour shifts while I'm in a lot of physical pain. I am really fair skinned so I burn easily, but this is the worst sunburn I've ever had and I am in a lot of pain. Any advice on how to clear it up? And how long will it take for it to go away?
2 AnswersFirst Aid7 years agoI got badly sunburnt with blisters, what can I do?
So I went to warped tour wearing a singlet and I only applied sunscreen to my arms. I got badly sunburnt on my arms, face and back where the singlet was open. It's been two days and the skin is still quite hot to the touch, and the back parts and shoulders have developed blisters. It's also really painful all over the burn areas. I rub aloe vera into the areas but it looks like it just evaporates, cause after about 10 minutes it's gone. I'm not sure if it was evaporated or sunk into the skin. But is this serious? Should I see a doctor?
1 AnswerSkin Conditions7 years agoMy girlfriend dumped me by text message and I'm depressed?
So my girlfriend and I went out with some of our friends to a nightclub cause that's what we usually do on Saturdays. Well the night started off well, I really didn't see anything wrong. She didn't want to dance just one on one but that's how she is so I didn't see anything abnormal. Then she started disappearing for lengths of time, always coming back but I didn't really think anything of it. She just didn't give me much attention throughout the night whatsoever. So then the downstairs punk stuff finished and we went upstairs, and our other friends went home and she wanted to stay so I stayed with her. Noticed she was grinding up against a few other guys, but I thought she was still drunk so I didn't think anything of it. She told me that I looked like I just wanted to go home, I was kinda slowing down cause the music was that kind of electro dance and it wasn't my thing. I had to get my backpack from cloaking cause they closed, and so I left the dance floor to find somewhere to put it and I grabbed some water. Then I feel a vibration in my pocket, open my phone and it simply read "I can't do this anymore I'm sorry. Your too young for me" (I'm 18 she's 22) and without saying a word or even looking I just left the place, found a taxi and went home, didn't say a word but inside I was screaming. It was just so out of the blue, didn't even see it coming. I genuinely had feelings for her and now I feel used. We were dating for two weeks, and I was starting to fall for her and then all of a sudden this. Now it's the day after and I have no motivation to do anything, I've been laying in bed all day. How can I get over her? It was pretty much attraction from the moment I saw her, and it just kills me inside because I feel like she used me and just got bored
4 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoI think my girlfriend is going to break up with me?
So about two nights ago my girlfriend and I were cuddling in bed (we've been going out for about two weeks) and we started getting a little kinky, cause she knows I'm a virgin and she's not so she teases me, I'm 18 and she's 22. We went a little further but not actual sex, and everything was cool. Next day, she said she didn't want me staying the night, and of course I knew exactly why but she made up a completely false reason. So the day after we had a little heart to heart, and she first thought that I was only with her to lose my virginity, which is totally untrue and I told her that. She then told me that she had a track record of dating guys for about one or two months, then breaking up with them out of boredom or other stupid things. Her longest relationship was 6 months. She also said that she knew that if I stayed the previous night we would've had sex, and she was worried that because it was my first time I would get attached, because that's what happened to her. And she didn't want it to be two months later if she broke up with me for me to still have feelings and attachment. I'm a mixture of confused, disappointed and angry, and I'm sure that now she's told me that she will break up with me sooner, and I really don't want that. Because despite all this, I have developed feelings for her and she has for me. What can I do?
4 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoIs it too late to ask this girl to be my girlfriend?
So I met this girl two weeks ago at my bands music video shoot about two weeks ago, and we hit it off instantly. We both like each other, it's obvious to me now and we've been on two 'dates', however on both I failed to ask her to be my girlfriend. I made moves to show my interest and she did the same I think. It's almost Thursday, and on Friday were going to see a movie. Should I ask her then? I'm scared I'm already in the friendzone, but there haven't been many (if any) indicators. What should I do to avoid the friendzone until Friday?
2 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoI try too hard to fit in and now I feel guilty?
So I auditioned for a band that I am very very passionate about and I have been placed on a trial basis. I would give anything to be in this band, and the leader told me that the personality was the number one thing. If I didn't fit in or click, it wasn't going to happen. And since then it has been about three weeks and I asked him how my trial was going, as in that time we'd played a show and shot a music video together, and he said that so far I was doing great. His only problem was that I tried too hard to fit in and be funny, and sometimes I end up sounding like a jerk. Musically he said I was 'impeccable' but it was just that aspect I had to work on.
I moved to the city of Sydney from regional NSW to join/form a band about two months ago and in this three week period I've had to adjust to this very new environment, where previously I had only been exposed to one group of friends for the last 8-9 years. And in that group of friends it was natural for us to insult one another and only joke about it, however I fear that because of that I now find it difficult to adjust to other social situations. I told him this, and he said its all good, and he's sure I'll sort it out. To me that does not sound promising. And now because I have an over active conscience, his words reverberate around my head all the time and I dwell on it and the more I think about it the more I realise how true he is and that I do unintentionally come off as sounding like a jerk sometimes when trying to joke around and fit in. This coupled with the breakdown of my first long-term serious relationship and general pressure of a new job I feel like I'm losing control. I want so desperately to be part of their 'brotherhood' and to be a part of their band, and now I'm afraid I've done too much damage with unintentional words to continue. What do you think? Is this salvageable? And is there any way to put over active and over guilty to rest about this?
1 AnswerMental Health8 years agoHaven't got my first shift at work yet?
Ok so I got a casual job at a retail store, I'm definitely hired because I signed all the paperwork and tax file declaration. The manager/store owner has sent my identity check away to be confirmed, and he said he'd call me when it was done and then I could sign the contract for work. It's been 6 days since he said that and I'm really worried he's just dismissed me already, or that I won't get any work at all. I'm struggling to pay rent as it is, and I need the job. How long does a background and identity check take to be complete in Australia before you can work? I am Australian born and completed 115 points of identification so that's all good. When can I expect to start work?
2 AnswersOther - Careers & Employment8 years agoI'm leaving home in two days and I'm scared?
I'm 18, fresh out of school. I come from a country town and I'm moving to the city in two days to pursue music. Up until now I've been so excited, so optimistic, so happy to be independent. But now it comes down to it: two days until I move and I'm so scared. I'm having a lot of anxiety and I don't know how to cope with it. I don't even know why I have such anxiety. What are some good ways of coping with leaving home? Is this normal? Am I panicking over nothing? I really need some help with this because its eating away at me and I'm so frightened by the prospect. Thanks
5 AnswersFamily8 years agoPlease rate my music :D?
I recently wrote and recorded all parts of this song (including the vocals) and this is it almost mixed, but I want to get some opinions. Primarily on my voice, but also on other aspects of the song. I know I don't have the greatest voice but I'm hoping there is some kind of inkling of ability, especially for the genre. It's pop-punk/pop-rock style so I'm not trying to be pitch perfect but just have a charismatic voice. Am I suitable for the genre? I would love opinions as I want to make music my career and I want to make sure I'm good enough. I don't want to be a pop star, I just want to make it onto Warped Tour one day :P

3 AnswersSinging8 years agoEMG 81 pickup battery wiring help?
I want to wire my EMG 81 to a single volume knob and output jack, but I also want to wire in a mini toggle switch that would switch to a second onboard battery if the first one dies. Basically I'm paranoid about the battery failing while I'm onstage, so how would I go about wiring this? The mini toggle should both have the same 9v battery on each pole, and have no other effect. Just change to a second battery. Anyone have any wrong suggestions? Thanks in advance :)
3 AnswersRock and Pop8 years agoMy moms partner has aspergers and is abusive, HELP!?
My mom isn't in a relationship, but she considers this man her partner, he has been living with us for ten years and my mom is considered his carer by the government because of his aspergers. He used to have fits occasionally but they have gotten so much worse, to the point now that a day doesn't go by where he doesn't get angry and hit something or one of us. He has hurt my mother several times (she never says he does but I can see the evidence) and he has threatened myself and my little sister. I know a lot of people would say 'just kick him out', but this is a catch-22 situation because my mother has OCD to a point that she cannot be alone at all; someone must be with her 24/7 and that is usually her 'partner'. She can't get rid of him because she can't live alone, and I am leaving for university in a few months time. I'm worried about what he will do to my mother and my sister, he is abusive and is always swearing at us and making rude gestures etc and threatening to 'show us who's stronger'. What can I do?
2 AnswersMarriage & Divorce8 years agoI want to move to Sydney, and need some advice?
I currently live in the Central West of New South Wales, and I want to move to the city to pursue a career in music at the end of the year. I am 18, and I am a guitarist and want to join/form a band but I need some advice on how to get an apartment and a job in Sydney. What's a good nice area that's relatively cheap rent ($250 p/w max) and where could I get a job? I'm currently employed here in the Central West, and am looking for a part time job so I can focus on music. When and where would be the best time to apply and move down? I really need to get out of this small town as I am not satisfied and I need to broaden my horizons. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
7 AnswersNew South Wales (Sydney)8 years agoMy dog mothers my guinea pigs?
I have a female dog who is not desexed, and I brought home two guinea pigs two weeks ago. Now she stands outside their cage watching them literally all the time. Her breathing is fast and I'm afraid that she'll hyperventilate or faint if she doesn't stop. She won't eat, she won't do anything but watch them. I think it might have something to do with her maternal instinct, as she is very protective and doesn't let any of our cats near the guinea pig cage. She isn't herself anymore and I just want to get my old dog back. How can I stop this?

1 AnswerMilitary9 years agoWhat is the value of this guitar?
I have an old Stratocaster copy lying around with the logo on the headstock reading 'Golden Ton'. A google search produced nothing, which I'm quite puzzled at. There's no website, nor any similar site or product anywhere. Can anyone help me identify it's value? I don't care if it's just worth $50 I am a bit strapped for cash so I need to sell it. Basically it looks identical to a black Fender Stratocaster with white pickguard and pickups, rosewood fretboard but with no skunk stripe and the headstock is shaped differently and has the words 'Golden Ton' on there.
Thanks :)
