Can anyone help me figure out the length of the boards?

Can anyone help me figure out the length of the boards?

My son wants to build this arbor for a wedding. This is my sketchup design, but the measurements are not adding up in that program. Can anyone figure out what length the green and blue boards should be? The winner gets a trophy bc I’ve been at this for 2 days. I even cut up popsicle sticks to figure it out. If you find a calculator online or a formula that works, please share it because I’m sure I’ll need it again. Thank you

Need “Digital refund declined” wording

It’s costing me time to refund people that don’t look to see it’s digital. I usually always refund when it hasn’t been downloaded, but what about when it has been? (It says it’s digital in my photos and description.)

Do I spend time refunding

Or do I spend time disputing a 1 ⭐️?

What is the best wording to use to avoid a 1 ⭐️ and not have to refund?

Can someone check my math?

This looks confusing, my apologies, I only need calculations checked for these 3 things:

  1. Do the angles of the blue and green arches match the lengths of the orange (8’3”)and pink (6’3”)vertical boards with the width of the pink boards tip to tip being 10’ 3 7/16”?

  2. If you cut the green boards(top arch) to 5’ 3/8”, then add 63.2 degree angles on the ends, would that board then be 4’ 8 3/4”?

  3. If you cut the blue boards to 6’ 5”, then angle both ends to 63.2 degrees, would that board then be 6’ 1 3/16”?

I’m sorry for all the other confusing stuff added on there. I just wanted to be sure it was there if needed.

My son is building this flat arbor for a couple getting married. I used sketchup to lay this out, but I’m not sure the angles and lengths are going to work irl. This is a flat design with wood layered on wood. It’s a cool optical illusion. I’ve tried using a protractor, old school graph paper, even cut popsicle sticks, lol!

Trying not to waste expensive wood. Thank you for your help!

22 years of not being a priority

I can’t believe it’s come to this. My question is at the bottom if you prefer to skip ahead. The rest is just my attempt to try to fill in details.

Currently still married. He puts himself and all his wants first. He works out at the gym for 2 hours everyday yet comes home and says he doesn’t have the energy to fix up small things at the house. He comes and goes as he pleases. Takes calls at all times. Doesn’t keep up with the kids needs, nor mine.

My car has been broke down for years. It will run sometimes but has left me on the side of the road, so I don’t go anywhere. But I’ve managed to figured out how to make money online (no not onlyfans). I have a little bit coming in, but not much - I don’t trust my car to get back and forth to a job. It will cost more to fix than it’s prob worth. Once I can get a car, I’ll go back to work.

He works 24/7 but barely has money for anything. Yet he carries wads of cash in his wallet. When we go out, he takes phone calls in the car and I have to be quiet. He said it’s how he keeps business going. He also has terrible road rage, so I stopped riding with him.

I recently started questioning the things he does that shows how he prioritizes other things over me, which has turned him into an angry deflecting yelling machine. Everything is my fault. He says he doesn’t want to deal with my sh*t anymore, but won’t give specifics of what the sh*t is. All I’ve asked for is to be a priority. I learned how to stay calm in conflict in my childhood so I don’t get emotional or worked up when talking to him. I’ve tried to be reasonable but he just yells at me. I have resorted to only have text convos with him. I’m not perfect. I’d rather him just tell me what I need to do to be his priority without yelling, but all he really can come up with is clean the house. (It’s clean, but while I’ve been busy creating my own business online, I don’t get 100% done all at once anymore). However if he can go to the gym for 2 hours everyday then why doesn’t he clean it? 20 yrs ago, When he first got started in his business I sold my car for him to have the money to get started. Big mistake. He’s treated me like a doormat our whole relationship, meanwhile looking like a saint to everyone else.

He’s collected six 1950’s cars (non running), two other non running cars, and two non running trucks. They’re all sitting in my yard. He tells me I can’t sell them because he’ll get me for forgery. Aren’t they half mine?

Our son needs vision care and I need something to drive.

He admitted he isn’t investing in our relationship/home/kids anymore. (Because I’ve resorted to texting only and put him through h*ll, but won’t give any specific instances of what I did to put him through h*ll). He doesn’t want to work on things, so I’m stuck with no idea on how to proceed. I’ve never been separated or divorced. How does this work?
