Picture this: you’re in love with someone who has a passion for music. It starts off as a charming hobby, a few strums on the guitar to unwind after work. But what happens when that hobby turns into a full-blown ‘career’ that’s more about beer and banter than actual gigs? I stumbled upon a story that’s got all the chords of conflict and the rhythm of drama. A tale of a girlfriend, a boyfriend with rockstar dreams, and a house overflowing with unused musical equipment. Let’s dive into the melody of this relationship discord.
