Our honorary "mother's" glass in her front door is broken. Shes been holding it up with tape from the inside. I believe its just wood trim that holds it in place.
Can we replace the glass?
Im also not sure if its worth replacing the door? Ive replaced a window of this size before and it was about 500 bucks. Idk how much a door would cost roughly.
We stayed in a hotel in Zocalo and saw people building large event style structures but they seemed quite permanent.
we stayed for 4 days and none of our waiters or drivers knew what it was for.
does anyone know?
Im 31 and my wife is 28. We live in a big city in the US, and weve been together for 9 years, living together for 8, and legally married about 2 years.
I think we are both attractive. To the public Im probably a 7/10 and my wife is around an 8/10. My wife grew up with an alcoholic father and a certifiably useless mother, my parents died when I was young.
For years, I pay all of the bills, do the laundry, dishes, buy prepared food (neither of us cook), bed sheets, we have a maid, landscaper, taxes, oil changes, etc. I fill her car with gas, fold her towel, bring her a water glass, bring her flowers every week or two, diamond earrings, bmw, bracelets, diamond necklace, luxury vacations to europe or south america once a year and 5-6 other domestic vacations within the US or Mexico /year. I get along with her family well, I send my wife thoughtful notes every day, got her through nursing schoool. Shes a nurse and works about 2 days a week, sometimes 3.
Honestly I cant really think of anything she does in return.
Never really cooks a meal (she used to make a simple breakfast once or twice a month but stopped that), needs me to keep ontop of her doctors appointments, has to be pushed to get involved in social activities, shell ask to foster a dog for a week or two - and Ill end up being the one who walks the dog. Shes missed birthdays, will gladly fill a glass of water for herself before she goes to bed while I complete chores and ignore me.
I really dont understand- shes been to a psychiatrist and shes not severely depressed but she does take a low level of anti depressants. We live in a 1.2 million dollar home in the suburbs of Houston (its nice). I spend a lot of time with her. The question came up if she actually loved me but I got access to her chat gpt one day and saw several discussions where she asked chat gpt why she is so selfish and why she doesnt think to do things for me. It's like she doesn't know why shes so selfish herself.
A while ago she gave me a very lightly open marriage - I was allowed to go to a "cougar" bar in the area and just talk to the ladies over there and I see a lot of trainwrecks post divorce at the bar.
Im not sure if this is normal because ontop of my wife- I havent seen much hope just observing other women in the wild. Yeah Ive considered divorce but it seems like it wont get any better with someone else.
the science behind this is fascinating
how does it do this?
Alright folks- my wife and I are in our early 30's and just recently got into diamonds. Specifically lab grown. She has a 3 ct pair of diamond studs, a 3 ct tennis bracelet, and now a simple 1.5 ct diamond pendant necklace.
We go to the big box jewlery stores and prices can be high. Macys on the other hand (on their sale weeks, which happens about once a month) tends to be cheaper. Im able to get a 3 ct tw pair of studs for $1500-1600. And a 1.5 ct for around $1000
I don't care for D, E, F, color, or the most perfect cut either. To me- Unless I compare them side by side- I have no clue. Most people we give diamonds to are just happy to have diamonds. (Our maid, her mom, her friend, our friend) etc.
But because we give out diamonds so often, Id like to find the most cost effective source.
Macys seems close to the best price available in store- but I have seen some websites like Brilliance, Clean Origin, etc pop up. Are there any drawbacks from ordering from online Jewlers? I can find 3 ct tw diamond studs in white gold for around $1000 online.
