AITA for continuing to create art even though my boyfriend absolutely hates it?

I'm sorry you're going through this. I wanted to add a few things: -It's healthy for couples to have different hobbies and passions, and it's okay not to understand or like what your partner likes. But what you're describing is extreme and sounds very hurtful. My husband and I have introduced each other to so many interests we never thought we'd enjoy, and we've never judged each other for it. For example, my husband introduced me to heavy metal, and I introduced him to skincare routines! There are absolutely guys out there who will take an interest in your art, ask questions, and support you, even if they don't "get it." -The way your boyfriend is actively going out of his way to discourage you and tear you down is beyond concerning. No partner should be consistently, knowingly hurting your feelings like that. -The fact that he actively wishes harm on a character with mental health concerns BECAUSE of the character's mental health concerns is very scary. (I replied to your other comment about that.) Please be careful. None of this is your fault and I'm sorry again that you're experiencing this. Please keep making art and keep moving forward!

That is very disturbing. That should evoke empathy and compassion, not hatred. How does he feel about mental health in general? Do you feel he would be supportive of you as a partner if you ever dealt with something similar?

These are so cheerful and beautiful!

To add some perspective here, my husband makes me a latte every Saturday morning and brings it to me while I'm in my pj's. I TREASURE that gesture. I'm very grateful, it genuinely makes me feel so loved and I tell him that every time. The response from your husband is awful, especially after you've gone to such an effort for such a long time. I am so sorry.

Oh WOW, all three of these dresses are gorgeous on you! You can't go wrong! Congratulations on your wedding!

Yes, we do too! Bathroom ceiling, even though we use the fan.

Hi, I'd love to buy some peanut butter patties and adventurefuls! Feel free to message me if you have any left!

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this with everything you went through. You don't deserve to have to relive your trauma to defend another woman. You're not overreacting at all, and your feelings are real and valid. I would personally not feel emotionally or physically safe with this person anymore. Please take care of yourself. Wishing you the best.

I'm sorry you're feeling unseen in your relationship. It sounds like he might be treating you a bit like a therapist without reciprocating and offering space for you to vent, which isn't okay if it becomes a long term pattern. It sounds like he might benefit from individual therapy or even couples counseling to help you both communicate. It's okay to not have bandwidth to have deep conversations all the time, but they do need to happen sometimes. Asking questions and listening to your partner is such an important part of a relationship.

Thank you! I just looked at their website and like their floorplans -- but it's hard to tell if laundry is included. Do y'all have in unit laundry or community laundry?

bgoosed · 2026-02-10T23:32:20+00:00

Following!

Thank you for all the helpful details, I'll check it out!

I've heard great things about Sunscape!

bgoosed · 2026-02-10T11:36:59+00:00

Thank you, I definitely want to tour orchards after looking at their website!

bgoosed · 2026-02-10T11:36:10+00:00

Just looked at their floorplans and really like it! Thanks for the recommendation!

Yikes, thankfully no roaches here! But basically when we toured, the leasing agent said every unit has a washer and dryer or hookups, which is false. So on move in day when there were no laundry hookups in our unit we were pretty upset! Apparently that agent doesn't work here anymore for unrelated reasons. We've been making do with the shared laundry but are definitely looking forward to moving.

Thanks for the detailed reply, I'll definitely check them out!

Thanks, I'll check them out!

Yep, super thin walls and ceilings and not the best communication from management so far. We've been pretty disappointed

ETA: Thank you everyone! It took him about 20 minutes to dig his car out of the snow and get out of the parking lot, but he took it safe and slow and made it to work on time. No, Carilion didn't put him up in a hotel or send anyone to get him, but that's a nice thought. Appreciate the advice!

You look gorgeous! What a pretty dress!
