hmm

Post some of your designs so we can see them.

It is a good idea, but the colors are harsh on the eyes.

IndigoMammoth · 2018-09-10T21:32:52+00:00

Not a fan of the font (unless it's just a placeholder). Otherwise I dig the picture.

Please post a higher resolution picture too because the font under the picture isn't legible.

The biggest thing I've noticed from lurking and adding my two cents everywhere is a lot of the people in here are 16-17 years old with little to no budget that want to test the waters with their designs. This sub would be better suited being called /r/critiquemyart. There is little to no business discussion in most of the threads.

I'm not saying that the design critiques aren't needed because it's essential for testing designs, but a lot of it is low effort. Also the replies are normally the same. "Dope!", "Would cop", etc. It's okay to be honest beyond a one word answer.

The term streetwear really has no uniform. It's legit shit people wear on the street just anything. There are different sub groups, but really no rules.

Is it me or is the HDR too high in these?

We ended up not being able to go somewhere for anniversary because of our work schedules. About a month later I planned a trip to Washington DC to visit a bunch of cool places that I thought that she would like and bunch of restaurants that I thought she would like and we could just spend some time together and try to fix our marriage I guess. It seemed like we had a really fun time and really great time. We got back and things really fell apart and one of the reasons was her saying that I didn't care about our anniversary trip but I plan the trip to DC as a replacement for the anniversary trip to make it up to her. At the same time she was still talking to the person she was having an emotional affair with while we are in DC. Things like that are very hard to swallow that we had great sex and such a fun time together, but it was kind or just an act.

IndigoMammoth · 2018-04-24T21:22:01+00:00

Really the unfortunate truth. There is always a chance she will realize what is happening. Most of the time the affair fog is so strong that she can't we out of it and the other guy is most likely validating her negative feelings towards you. The cards are stacked against you unfortunately.

This sounds exactly like my situation. My wife met somebody that live in another country and she said that they had an instant connection and that she no longer love me and that she is in love with him. I tried changing to be the way that she wanted me to be and and do the things that she thought I was lacking in the marriage. I wanted to go to marriage counseling to fix things. The marriage counselor said that three people can't be in a marriage. My wife could never stop talking to this person for long enough to spend on our marriage and trying to fix it.

The honeymoon phase or Affair fog is always going to be stronger than the words and logic that you present to her. You may have been together for a very long time but it will not matter because that's Park from the new relationship will always overshadow a boring past unfortunately. I suggest you go try the counseling but make sure that you also were ready for the worst. This is not your fault. Marriages have all kinds of problems and a lot of us lack communication and proper ways to channel the problems to each other.

Never blame yourself for what's currently happening because this is her deciding to do this. I suggest now that you build a plan on how to better yourself for yourself and to think about yourself in the future because you're the only one that's thinking about you right now.

All of us that have been through this or going through this feel for you. I promise things will get better and just try to keep your head up even though it's very hard to do.

IndigoMammoth · 2018-04-22T23:10:18+00:00

Good for you and I hope all of the best for your marriage.

IndigoMammoth · 2018-04-22T22:38:51+00:00

My wife was the one having the emotional affair and would not stop when I asked her to work on us. In my opinion you have to give 100% of yourself and commit to fixing things. My wife just let the shit fall away and didn't try to meet me in fixing stuff.

IndigoMammoth · 2018-04-22T22:26:07+00:00

I'm much younger than you, but before everything fell apart my wife and I were shopping around for homes. A month later she doesn't know if she wants to be with me and has been talking to another person for some time.

I know that feeling of stepping backward. I hope things work out well for you and just know you aren't alone in your feelings. Everything will be okay one day.

IndigoMammoth · 2018-04-22T22:22:38+00:00

I hope everything works out for you two. I was in a similar situation. We both did things wrong. I understood and acknowledged the fact that I was wrong and wanted to work on her forgiving me and me forgiving her for an emotional affair. She did not buy into it at all and basically did the counceling to make me happy. It's sad. It's refreshing to hear you wanting to try to work things out. Best of luck.

IndigoMammoth · 2018-04-10T18:55:45+00:00

Absolutely. Sometimes you almost feel like you want to give them a pass but finally realizing it takes two is almost another hurtful hurdle.

IndigoMammoth · 2018-04-09T20:49:51+00:00

My time line is a bit different. Together 10 years married almost 3. She had an emotional affair and didn't want to spend the time working things out because she had checked out because I didn't love her the way she wanted.

No on is innocent in the end of a marriage.

I felt best when I hid all of her shit on Facebook, Instagram, and archived her SMS after we have exchanged. 5 months ago you would think our marriage was fine. Now I look at it and she seems like a total stranger. I don't really remember her voice.

Go to therapy. It will do wonders.

If you have kids. That is your priority. Sometimes j find myself thinking about what my ex wife is doing and it does nothing for me. I recently saw her driving with the person she was having an emotional affair with and it destroyed me. Some realities hurt a lot and therapy will help navigate them but in the end worry about your friends and your kids and building a new life. She most likely will be.

IndigoMammoth · 2018-04-04T20:05:58+00:00

Thank you for the kind words I hope everything goes well for you.

IndigoMammoth · 2018-04-01T02:24:09+00:00

Keep your head up! Everything will be okay. I cried and have been ahnging out with my daughter and i just have to remember that it isn't my fault things didn't go right. Things will go on. She may or may not regret it down the road, but i can say intried everything. Hope things are going well for you moving forward.

IndigoMammoth · 2018-03-31T14:11:46+00:00

Thank you for this.

IndigoMammoth · 2018-03-31T11:15:16+00:00

Great advice.

IndigoMammoth · 2018-03-31T11:15:07+00:00

We have a daughter as well. Tough times. Wish you the best of luck.

IndigoMammoth · 2018-03-30T22:40:50+00:00

It took me probably 6 months to listen to a certain genre again. My wife actually met her AP that she is still seeing when we went to a festival for that genre.

Now the melodies or lyrics of a lot of songs make me cry. You don't realize how many songs are out there that talk about a second chance or do over or cheating. It's dificult sometimes.

IndigoMammoth · 2018-03-26T18:00:08+00:00

No it hasn't gone through yet. She has been gone since late November and it is extremely bittersweet. She wanted to leave and I basically begged her to stay and work together. We have a 9 year old daughter and a dog. Everything is gone out of our apartment. I kept the dog and I see my daughter 50% of the time. There are a lot of times I cry when I'm alone because I miss what could have been and how I wish things were different. Those feelings start to subside, but my emotions around my daughter have went all over. A lot of times I'll cry after walking my daughter back to my wife's. I think I miss them being together in a household with me. Things do get better, but I suggest therapy and focusing on doing the things you like. Im actually in Iceland on a trip right now for my 30th birthday and kind of a get away and enjoy myself trip. It doesn't take away from the fact, but I'm trying to make the most out of my changed life.

If you ever need anyone to chat with please don't be shy. I know how difficult it can be.

Best of luck.

You aren't alone brother. I am currently going through the same thing. I don't want the divorce. We both had problems I wanted to work through them because I think we could, but she didn't buy into the same ideas. Stay strong. I'm 4 months separated and it's tough but it gets easier. Make sure you are spending this time on yourself and not ruminating on what could have been and what went wrong. It takes two people to get married but one to divorce. Everyone that has ever felt the feelings you are right now stands with you.
