I don't even know how i fucking feel. I'm not getting emotional but im getting passive aggressive randomly.

context :

gf of 9 months. we live in adjacent cities 3 hours away. she was head over heels for me for the past 9 months. just fucked her brains out 2 weeks ago and made her cum like 3 times.

but something changed 2 days ago. yesterday she texted me about feeling anxious about our future. i called her and she cried a little bit. somehow i felt like i couldnt give her satisfactory reassurance. she talked about how she will be devastated in the future more if she gets more emotionally attached when we breakup. she was saying things about how she feels that she is more invested in me than i am in her.

her paragraph :

"again its very random but it is what it is.. I know you’ve treated me so well all this time and that you’ve genuinely liked me and honestly it breaks my heart to even type this but I feel like I have to.

For months, I’ve been constantly thinking about us and whether I should let myself seriously love you or not. And now that I’m at a point where my fear of love is taking over, I just don’t think I can do this anymore. I know you told me you’d stay, but maybe the problem is me. I know the way I want to live my life might never allow me to be yours forever, and I don’t want to keep you waiting for something I’m not sure I can give you.

I’m sorry for doing this, especially knowing you might never forgive me, and honestly, I don’t know if my own heart will forgive me either. But I feel like I need to do this to protect my peace and save myself from getting hurt even more in the future.

I came here for you, and somewhere along the way, I realised that I just can’t love you.. That doesn’t mean you didn’t matter to me. You’ll always have a place in my heart, and everything you’ve done for me is something I could never forget.

I’m truly sorry. I just don’t have the courage to face you after choosing to let my love for you go. Maybe someday, if you can forgive me, we’ll meet again. Until then, I hope you know that leaving was never because you weren’t enough. It was because I couldn’t fight my own fears anymore."

what the fuck do i reply?

I'm looking for a cheap electric guitar to learn DIY modding / repainting / luthiery. zero experience currently.

where can i buy used gear?

i checked FB markeplace. People are selling their used gear at 80-90 % of their original value, which is insane!

isn't 2nd hand gear supposed to be like 50-60% of their original value?

is anyone selling? My location is Pune, and i visit Mumbai on weekends.

Looking to a guitar shop in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai that has a wide variety of electric guitars of all ranges.

i have an electric guitar but I'm looking to buy a budget strat to learn modding, painting and luthiery as a new hobby.

i play electric guitar. and I'm going to buy a new electric guitar just to modify it and repaint it as a new hobby. maybe i could switch it into a part time hustle if i get good at custom paintjobs later.

anybody knows a good luthier (person who works with stringed instruments)? i want to meet a luthier who can save my guitar if i ruin it,

or a person who has exp in modding or repainting electric guitars that i can talk to.

Hi, I'm looking to buy a cheap ass shit stratocaster to experiment on by modding and painting? can you please suggest me what guitar would be a good choice? If i get an SSS pickup config, can i fit SSH or HH in it later? Tremolo or fixed bridge? any other question i should ask or know?

i was thinking to get a shit guitar with a good neck (roasted maple because i love the color 😍) since i wont be replacing the neck. i can replace everything else.

here are my options so far:

1. Jet JS 400

2. SQOE SEST 600

3. Strydom Magna ST30

4. Tagima T530 / T540

5. (your recommendation)???

all of these are budget guitars with roasted maple neck. please suggest if any others are available.

p. s. - I have experience playing guitar so i know a fair bit of things about a guitar, but zero exp in modding or repainting or luthiery.

Paintjob : I'm thinking of doing a 80s shredder style tiger strip or hydrodipping or both 😍 Let me know if i should know something before ruining my guitar.
