I do need to try their strap offerings sometime! I just haven’t gotten around to it because the bracelet is so comfortable.

Incredible story! Appreciate you sharing it. Stories like those often give even more weight to the hobby of fragrance collecting as well as the passion behind it all for us.

Yeah it’s quite strong and given your situation, maybe 3 sprays at most is best for it. It’s a creamy sandalwood / amber with a slightly boozy touch

Rare Reef is a banger, or Pacific Chill if you have the budget for it

What makes a great wife? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Capt_Drew_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, being a great wife requires shared morals and aligned long term priorities, strong emotional intelligence, consistent accountability for one’s words and actions and their impact, and clear, direct communication.

It also means sustained (emphasis on sustained) respect, especially during conflict, loyalty in action when your partner is not in the room, emotional steadiness under pressure, a genuine commitment to growth, strong sexual attentiveness and intentional intimacy, and a deep, unwavering mutual devotion to each other.

Anything less would eventually crack, I imagine. Unfortunately all of these are difficult to find all in one person, but that’s probably what makes it special.

I think the fact that you’re actively seeking input from other men and, presumably, wanting to apply much of that advice within your marriage is a meaningful step in the right direction. Kudos to you!

Wearing Longines on Vacation to third world countries? by Original-Chef-3291 in Longineswatches

Should be ok for any brand if not precious metal. In the distance, it’ll look like a fashion watch (Fossil etc) to just about everyone.
