Sounds like there is trouble in paradise. Doesn't sound like a solid relationship to me, so I think you should move on.
Sometimes we tend to stick with what we know best (becomes a habit and a way of life) and I feel you may well be in this life's role. Don't be afraid to spread your wings and meet and date other people.
Ask yourself about how you feel about this relationship. If the person is lazy and refuses to work, or further his/her trade or career, then I would move on.
If they disrespect you, call you names, put you down in front of family or friends or even shove you around ... move on!
If this person never wants to do things you do and it's all about him/her, move on!
If they forget special events or they don't turn up for a special meal you have cooked, or forget to meet you somewhere ... move on!
If children are involved, think very carefully, but realize that if you are in an abusive relationship you are not doing your children any favors. It's time to move on and start a new life. Relationships have the up side and down side, but I can tell if it's working by realizing that my husband and I (no matter how tough something is) back each other 100% and we feel like we can conquer the world and that nothing terrible can happen to us if we stick together.
Good luck Happy New Year Marcy

Firstly, you're going to need to kill some cows, if you want to make it. you kill the cows, take their hides, and head over to Al Kharid. if you dont already, get a needle and some thread, as well as some coins, because you're going to have to pay a few of them out. now, go to ellis, the tanner, in al kharid, and ask him to tan your hides into leather (NOT hard leather). now you have some leather hides you can craft into leather armour using the crafting skill. (note:you will only be able to craft leather gloves at first). another way is to just buy it off the grand exchange or from another player.
How to repair a rip in a Leather seat?
Leather furniture can be an attractive investment for your home. Leather seats in your car also take a beating but look great for a long time. Leather is durable and can last if you take good care of it. Over time, leather can begin to look worn and can crack if care has not been taken. It can also tear due to accident and age. To prevent your leather seating from appearing shabby, repair tears yourself. This can help save your expensive furniture.
1. Clean off the surface of the leather seat being repaired. Remove all traces of dirt and oil so the area to be repaired is uniform. You can purchase a good leather cleaner at most large department stores. Leather cleaner also is available at auto repair stores. Use a vacuum to get into the hard-to-reach spaces and then use a towel or dust cloth to gently go over the surface of the seat. This will ensure there are no traces of dust and dirt.
2. Use a piece of 1,000-grit sandpaper to gently rub the edges of the tear. This should be done before using any repair kit. Using sandpaper will help smooth out any edges and keep the repair looking natural. Do not omit this step. If you do not sand the leather first, you will not end up with smooth-feeling leather. The leather will be rough, which will make it susceptible to further damage.
3. Match the repair kit color to the color of the seating you wish to repair. You may have to mix colors to get the perfect match. Apply the liquid leather repair compound to the seat. Use a heat source, such as a hair dryer, to heat the compound and ensure it dries smoothly.
4. Apply the grain sheet on top of the compound so it will look like real leather and matches other parts of the seating. Use the grain sheet more than once if you haven't achieved the desire grain.
5. Use a swatch of leather fabric that matches your seating to repair.

How do you Remove Biro from leather?
Removing ink stains from leatheris not generally a cleaning problem.
Most ink removal products will not work simply because of the length of time the ink has been on the leather.
Ink is a dye and has re-coloured the leather (this is what it is meant to do).
The longer the ink has been on the leather the harder it is to remove because it soaks into the finish. Once it has soaked into the finish you have to use very strong products to remove it, which will also remove finish and pigment which then need replacing.
If the ink stain is on a pigmented leather then the first thing you should try is an LTT Ink Gel. The fresher the ink the more chance you have of removing it. It is a good idea to have one in your house if you have pale leather and children!!!!
Old ink stains will be harder to remove than a new ink stain and may mean resorting to solvents which will also remove the finish. This is probably best left to the experts.
If an ink stick doesn't work a solvent based remover will need to be used and it may also remove finish and pigment so is best left to the experts.
You should also be using LTT Leather Protect on your suite. This will act like a 'scotchgard' and will make any more mishaps easier to clean off.
You will see many people recommending household products to remove ink - this is not recommended as most simply will not work, some may appear to work but the damage they cause can make a much bigger problem which is then un-repairable (even by a technician).
Aniline Style Leather
As aniline style leathers are largely absorbent it means that the ink will have soaked straight into the leather itself. This makes it impossible to remove. No product will successfully remove the ink.
DO NOT try ink removing products on aniline style leathers as most will leave a greasy residue which will then cause another problem.
Because aniline style leathers are absorbent the ink will carry on moving through the leather and may become less obvious over time. Cleaning and protecting will also help to dissipate the ink.
DO NOT USE THE FOLLOWING ON INK STAINS:
- Hairspray - This is very risky as it can make the matter far worse by spreading the ink over a bigger area and can sometimes then be impossible to fix.
- Nail Varnish remover/solvents - will remove the finish on the leather even if you cannot tell it is doing so and this will then need replacing, and alcohol may do the same depending on the strength of the finish on the leather.
- Baby wipes - just about the worst thing you can use on a leather as they break down the finish and will eventually ruin it.
- Milk or Toothpaste - these are just silly ideas that will leave sticky residues on the surface which will help to break down the finish on your leather.
- Silicones/furniture polish - should not be used on leather. They will form a coating on the surface of the leather which will not allow any moisture to get to the leather itself and will eventually break all the finish down and cause it to crack.
- Hide food - will not remove ink and will leave residues on the leather which will attract dirt and oils.
Most leather cleaners will not remove ink unless a very good leather protector has been used on a regular basis!!.
