Wow, that sucks!

My last water spill was caused by the RO/DI under the sink. There was no water damage in my own unit but there was $5550.91 in damage to the ground unit below me. My insurance wouldn't cover it. I'm still paying for it via monthly payments.

OK, I propose that I will take the blame for ruining all her childhood belongings, maybe let her slap and kick me a bit, and in exchange he will pay the rest of my water damage payments, LOL.

I have talked to my client and he has agreed in principal to your terms but has asked for a 5 minute frag fest (all the corals he can collect) from your display tank........ and your RO system.

Tell her you are going to redo the kitchen or bathroom if she prefers, as her gift.
She can even plan it.
Good luck friend.

whats with all the recomendations that he lies and decives.. thats a good way to keep your marrage going

just man up, tell the truth, then come up with a way to fix it so it won't happen again.. which is what you should have made sure in the first place. instead of waisting more money on dinner and hotel rooms, use the money to install the RO properly.

sure she will be mad for a bit, but unless there is something else wrong she will get over it in a day or two.. if not maybe its just the writing on the wall.
