These things are made in china at bottom cost. Even thought I take rediculously good care of my DS/R4, I'm surprised mine hasn't had problems like this. There's an absolute horror show of things that can go wrong.
Jesus, if you're that insecure about it that you need to defend it, then stop seeing her.
I for one wouldn't care about it. Do you think it would be fair if you were in that situation and she stopped seeing you?

Don't wait for the "right moment", it will never come and if it does, you will be so nervous thinking about it that you will talk yourself out of it.
Be a man and just do it.
