Hey Kerry..

I make jewelry and cubic zirconia has great beauty. It's just not a diamond. The description of your ex sounds like rhinestone.. but there was enough between the two of you to be together, make beautiful babies and be a family at one point. It's like any gemstone. Not all angles are flawless. And on the emotional side it takes two to get there, Kerr-Bear (tee hee)
