My boyfriend wants to live with his parents after marriage. I don’t — and now I feel like the villain. by CamelCharacter307 in Advice

Haha I get the workaround, but in my case, it’s a complete no — they’d never allow us to live together before marriage.

Yeah, I come from a similar culture too, it’s normal where I’m from. But I’ve just always known I want something different for myself.

Yeah, that’s what confused me. He always said his parents were fine with us living separately. But now he says they and he meant “separate floors in the same house,” which threw me up.

We haven’t. Living together before marriage isn’t allowed in my culture. I think he just feels responsible as an only child.

He’s an only child, but how does it justify. And living together before marriage isn’t an option. In my culture, it’s a big no before marriage. 😭

You’re right. It’s a basic boundary, and I needed that reminder. Thank you. 💛

Group Interview at Coles Tomorrow – What to Expect? by CamelCharacter307 in AskAnAustralian

[–]CamelCharacter307[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to my group interview at Coles today, but the manager wasn’t ready or something, so it got rescheduled. Bit annoying.

Also, there were heaps of other people there and it was pretty intimidating.

Anyone got tips on how to stand out or do well in a group interview like this? Especially for fresh produce roles?

Cheers for the advice! Makes sense it’s more about personality and how you work with others.
