Post processing taking a while. I don't even know if post processing is the right term here, sorry if I'm wrong. I received a Xiaomi 14 Ultra as a gift last week and I was thrilled because of what I had read and seen about the camera. When I started taking pictures with it, I was disappointed. The photos didn't look good as it did on videos I've watched, in terms of color and quality. Did I do something wrong? But later on the day I checked the gallery and the photos looked good, way better. So now I've realized that it takes a little while after I take the pictures for them to look really nice.

Is that common of Xiaomis? Just the Ultras? Or is it common for phones in general nowadays?

I (28M) met my wife (27F) 5 years ago. We met online. I think the topic of religion only came forward a few months into the relationship. I'm an atheist, she's christian, evangelical. At the time it didn't seem like a problem to me - I didn't force my beliefs on her, she didn't force her beliefs on me (her words even). Our relationship was always pretty normal, and her religious beliefs never stopped us from doing anything or came between us or anything like that. You could only know her religion if you actually asked, because otherwise, there would be no way to know. She didn't go to church, didn't pray, differently from her family.

This past November she started having these anxiety problems out of nowhere, and she moved back in with her mother because, according to her, it was easier to distract herself at her mother's house; there's a lot of noise, a lot of people, her siblings, etc., and it would alleviate her anxiety. I would stay there with her a few days a week, and the rest of the week I would go back home. Besides starting therapy, she returned to church. Now, that wouldn't be a problem to me on itself. But ever since this happened, she is becoming increasingly entrenched in her religion. She only listens to christian music now, she mostly watches religious stuff, she goes to church like two or three times a week, I already had to cancel plans because it would conflict with the day she goes to church. Today I put on a comedy series for us to watch together that I was sure she would like, but in the first scene of the series there's this scene where the character is kind of "mocking" passages from the Bible. As soon as she heard it she asked me to put on something else for us to watch. She didn't say anything else, but I know that she didn't want to watch it just because of that scene. I'm tired. This whole thing is so off putting to me. She went from someone who was religious but didn't make that her personality, to someone who she let religion take over her life. I hate this.

I think this is more of a 'off my chest' post than anything else.
