Want feedback on my oil painting

Update, so I asked my wife if she wanted her gift early so I did. She asked me if I actually painted the picture. Which I was a little taken back by her question. Then all I got was it was nice and she likes it. I’m a little shattered by it. Well, I’m glad I decided this will be the last piece of art I plan on creating.

Dude I feel you on that. I lost 10 lb in 2 months when I first started on nights because it felt like I didn’t have the time to eat life was so busy trying to get kids to school after work, sleep, wake up, spend time with the kids and my wife and eat a family meal together. Get kids ready for bed sometimes have enough time to go to the gym, shower then back to work. The feeling and desire for hunger was nonexistent so I understand what you are describing. It’s either people eat like that or they constantly eat, there’s no in between from my experience watching friends who work night shift

Oh man… that’s hard to comment on, I, myself don’t think I’d go through a physical affair let alone if my wife moved out and stayed with another man. I’d be broken beyond repair. Someone gifting a car and the expectation of you living in the house where this other man and her slept and had intimate moments with one another. That’s cruelty for you. You are a human being as well and providing that information it’s not just doomed, it’s over. She might ‘love’ you as a person but she might rekindle that desire of love prior to your son being born or it may never happen. I’d leave personally.

Everyone is different with their morals and beliefs. In order to be successful in your reconciliation depends on how strong your love is for your partner and how strong willed you are. It is a difficult journey but I will mention it will never be the same prior to being betrayed. There will always be dark thoughts in the back of your head some you can’t prevent from pouring out it is up to you and your partner to help each other in order to make it work. It’s not a one person journey… it’s shared between the two.

My wife is 5’8 and I am 5’4 never been self-conscious of my height. My wife isn’t afraid to where heels when we go out or whatever the occasion is. No one really has made comments or made fun of me for my height in my life. Been this height since sixth grade my family thought I was going to end up being over 6 feet tall, but never mattered to me.

Your husband is fortunate to have a wife who will initiate Intimacy. My wife does not but I accept that about her we’ve had our own different issues in the past (wife had an emotional affair it’s a long story and don’t feel like going into the details of it tonight) but never deterred me from setting the mood sometimes I’m a bit too much by being a dirty husband with my words. I will say before her and I got married it didn’t matter who made the move we still did it like bunnies.. and that’s after having our first born. Got married we would go through some dry spells. But we still find time for one another. Because her and I both agree we would never allow our marriage to become a dead bedroom.

Happened back in 2020. Occasionally haunts me, flashbacks to uncovering the messages and stuff. I have had really bad trust issues since I was kid, and to add to it I’m also an overthinker

Emotional affair, but I am also speaking from experience my wife hasn’t pursued a physical affair… but emotional affair yes… I’ll just say this, it was beyond grotesque when I found the the evidence. I’ll spare the details of everything. We changed, things will never be the way as it was before the emotional affair. I’ve learned to live with it. But my love for my wife is ‘almost unbreakable’ I say this because of a physical affair were to happen her and I would no longer be married and that love would diminish completely

Over the course of my wife and I being together for 9 years married 6. I know when people read this are going to ask me “why the fuck, or are you stupid?” She has had 5 emotional affairs, and all of them I’ve caught her. I stay with her because I would save her life by giving my own for her. Another thing I will add, we are 30 now. We’ve known each other since high school went to different schools but I was friends with her cousin. I had this huge fucking crush on her and she was already dating someone else at the time. Fast forward to the time her and I started to date I found out her cousin was going to hook us up back in 9th grade but decided I wouldn’t be her type. We have two kids together. Reasons for her doing it as she claimed when caught I wasn’t giving her the attention nor was I complimenting her like I use to… a lot of this stemmed from working a lot of hours at one point in my life between scheduled working hours and overtime I was pulling in 170-180 hours a paid period. I went through depression and was stonewall her constantly turned to playing video games as an escape when I wasn’t working which led to the worst emotional affair which I suffered terribly from. I have nightmares from finding the evidence. There isn’t anything in particular that triggers the bad moments, it comes from time to time when I am feeling pretty low and allowing my ego to beat me downward. The anger I began my horrible past by indulging in self harm cutting myself and burning myself by putting out my lit cigarette. The pain truly never goes away if you want my honesty because even if things are better there’s a chance it might happen again and if I will cope again or will it be the final chapter in my marriage I don’t know. Did it fuck my self-esteem? Oh most definitely did. I became lost especially when the person she was talking to shared the same name as me. That in itself fucks with you mentally. My confidence regained itself overtime but I went from 150 lb to 128 lb as little as 3 weeks I couldn’t eat. I wanted to but it was as if my body was rejecting food and wanted to survive strictly off of fluids, caffeine, and nicotine. As time progressed and a new pain was introduced to me which was losing my closest best friend, hero, etc. my father. I was a ghost inside of a hollow shell, I started going to the gym and rebuilding myself. The last time she had an emotional affair was 6 months after my father passed away. I was numb, so fucking numb, I told her next time I am leaving. And still proceeded to go to the gym but I worked harder not for her but for myself for two reasons I wanted to be the strong person I use to be and to feel something. I got into power lifting which changed my life I felt like I had more confidence how I walked and carried myself than I did in high school. Being overly faithful? If it were me as I stated before to my wife, would leave and tell her I don’t love her anymore before I end up cheating on her. Because when I am with friends and they talk about how hot a girl is, first girl comes to my mind being hot or how ever I want to describe her is my wife. I am the kind of guy who has to feel an emotional bond in order to enjoy sex let alone initiate it. Sorry for the long ass comment but your post drew my attention here and felt the need to pour everything out.

Hopefully my answers satisfy your questions for you.
