This moon decoration my wife got
Looks innocuous enough at first glance right? Let's zoom in on the problem:
These don't go together. If the semicircle on the left is correct, then this is showing moon phases, and the symbol on the right should be of a gibbous moon:
If the cookie-with-a-bite-taken-out in the right is correct, then this is showing an eclipse, and the symbol on the left should be of a 50% partial eclipse:
It drives me crazy every time I look at it.

If the wife likes it, mission accomplished!
Just take a chill pill man.
How right, I should limit my neurotic nitpicking to appropriate spaces.
No complaints here; I just want the wife's to be happy.
My wife had a very stressful and demanding job that paid well. I sacrificed my career advancement so she could pursue this dream. After a few years she burned out, was miserable, and wanted to quit to find a new job. However this came with a huge pay cut too which made the decision more difficult and I was (hopefully understandably) frustrated because I had made all of these sacrifices so she could follow her dream.
But I wanted her to be happy so we figured it out.
Moral of this story? Since then I've learned how much truth there is to the "happy wife, happy life" idiom.
Sorry to hear it didn't work out as planned for the two of you.
IMHO, relationships should not be about one persons happiness/goals/etc over the other (i.e. wives are not more important than husbands or vice versa). The item mentioned in the original post isn't going to change anything in their lives (other than bringing one of them a bit of joy).
