Natural or lab diamond?

If you had the “opportunity” to pick out another ring, what would you choose?

My wedding ring/band was lost by the jeweler (they had to send it somewhere for repair and the parcel company lost it) and I have to pick out another ring to replace it.

I originally had 1 ct natural diamond (got married before 2016 when lab diamonds started being created) and was offered to replace with a lab diamond and get money back if we wanted, or replace with a naturally mined diamond.

I didn’t think I’d be “ring shopping” after being married this long and I don’t really have the desire to put as much thought into it this go around 😂 however with this new choice of lab diamonds I have things to consider 🤔

I know lab diamonds are virtually the “same” but also they apparently lose a massive amount of value compared to natural. Not that I really consider it to be an “investment piece” but it also doesn’t seem fair? 🤷‍♀️ But also are natural diamonds less sustainably/ethically mined? I’ve heard yes AND no.

Is watching half naked women online considered cheating

I was 3 months postpartum battling an autoimmune disease I did not know I had back then, when my husband one night less than 3 foots from me was masturbating over half naked women on Instagram (our baby was sleeping right beside him and I was on a sofa in the living room) he did not know that I saw him. I tried to please him two days prior that although my episiotomy was not even fully healed. Is that considered cheating ?

PS: I already told him year before that to me watching adult content (I found a video of a woman getting naked on his phone ) while hiding is same as cheating.

Friendships

I’ve always been someone who was closer with males then females.
I had this one friend male for as long as I could remember, once I got with my partner 13 years ago now we drifted apart. When my partner and I spilt for a little while he came back into my friend group and we were close again. Once me and my partner got back together he asked me to stop talking to him coz it made him uncomfortable. But I miss this friend a lot but everyone is telling me to stay away from him because he wants more than a friendship and it will destroy my relationship and family… but I miss having that friend I can trust but what if he does want more and I take that risk and lose everything..
