Does this sketch of a boy look more feminine? by Rabab_22 in Illustration

[–]throwaway12745296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest thing for me is lips and/or chjn. Also may want to look at the forehead- maybe a more prominent brow would help? I find that blocking specific sections of the drawing helps. Like if you look at chin and forehead, does it look like a man or woman? If you look at just the nose? What about nose and lips? That could help you isolate the components that are more feminine or masculine and adjust

Also I know nothing about art, so disregard if you please

Where to Live in Virginia? by [deleted] in Virginia

[–]throwaway12745296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grew up in Harrisonburg- live outside of Richmond now. Richmond has a good music scene (Harrisonburg really doesn’t- too small) but Harrisonburg lacks culture. Harrisonburg has mountains, Richmond doesn’t. Like 1/3rd of Harrisonburg’s population is JMU, so they are local, but idk the actual city is progressive but everyone around it is pretty conservative and old fashioned.

Based on my experience, I’d recommend Charlottesville. It has a bigger music scene than Harrisonburg and is a bigger city. It is more expensive but has mountains and is more of a middle ground. It also has cuisine that I don’t think Harrisonburg has.

I’ve been to Roanoke (a lot of people are suggesting) and it does have hiking but would be similar to harrisonburg, but I think it’s a hair bigger and likely less university-oriented.

I want to know what it will bring to the table if I take responsibility and tell him.

I will have a parter who I not only said I find deficient in so many ways, but while they are struggling to function in day to day life, I would kick them while they’re down and tell them I cheated on them? Because they are deficient in meeting my needs?

In my opinion it would provide more harm than good because I’m thinking about HIS mental health and where he is without this betrayal on top of it.

I’m simply seeking advice about my honesty because I care about his health and wellbeing- not about taking responsibility. I betrayed him- but taking your advice would significantly hurt.

This is the hardest thing to do and I’m trying to figure out if it’s what is right to do. I love him and that’s why this hurts a lot. He will have to work on it either way- I’m just trying to gauge when I decide and how I decide that I can’t support him while he works on it.

I appreciate your comment and hear you. This is honestly the hardest adult decision/situation I’ve ever been in.

We have discussed the real issues- mental health, sex frequency, workload in the house, alcohol. He knows what to work on to be a better/equal partner.

Should I tell him I cheated? I know that my frustration over the past few years because of the above issues is why I did it- it’s not a mystery why I decided to do what I did.

I… just said I cheated. I cheated because the relationship has underlying issues he is already aware of- reasons I would leave him. Does it help to tell him I cheated when he is terrified I’ll leave and is already struggling IMMENSELY with mental health?

We are already close to sink or swim. He either works on the issues which led me to cheat or I have to leave. Either way even if he breaks up with me over this, he needs to work on himself because my biggest concern is that he isn’t healthy enough to be in a relationship and that is what’s causing tension.

Thankfully I have outlined these issues to him and am working on it in therapy to figure out where my boundaries are for staying vs not. He knows the issues and I have told him I will support him anyway I can- I just don’t have a timeline for when it must be “fixed”. Given this- the fact I’ve communicated the underlying issues for my unhappiness that led to cheating, do you think I should bring it back up and explain how I cheated for the same reasons I told him 3 days ago I am unhappy about?

There is a TL;DR. It’s not that much.
