Uhhhhh, My wife has found a picture that i drew of her, and she's upset about it, I am going to call her about it after work in about 6 hours or so. She said it's too late to care now, and do this stuff. My intention wasn't to make her want me back, or to show her how i feel. I just saw the a photo of her and fell in love with it, and it was the first time in a few years that i saw something and really wanted to draw it. I was doing something that i wanted to do for me. I also wanted her to feel special about herself regardless of if she believes that i think she is special or not (yes Jen i know that i have to focus on me but i'd already drawn the picture by then, and i was proud of it). I'm not really sure what to say to her, or not to say, I don't want to talk about how special she is to me coz' that will start an arguement. What do i do? Wisdom needed please!!


For more backstory here's my thread.

Thanks for the compliment \:\)

I'm still not sure what to do though, but i'm going to finish what i started with it and continue to make that picture better, but i'm going to draw other things aswell \:\)

Yes, i do like putting myself in sticky situations, but my copy of DR came into the shop today so i will pick it up tomorrow morning, hopefully i can get on track then.

This is what I posted on your other thread...

Hi

I think you need to take the focus off your W and put it on you. You cannot make her feel special, loved, or appreciated if she doesn't want to feel those ways. I know you love her but you have to let go in some way.

Please try and get out and enjoy the day/night and think about your needs for now.

I hope the book helps and thank goodness it arrived earlier than expected!!

I agree with Lola & Jen ...I thought the picture was beautiful and thoughtful but you need to focus on you for just a bit right now. Good Luck ((one))

Thats the thing though, I was mainly doing it coz' i founds something that i wanted to draw, and i want to get back into drawing, i used to do it when i was in school, but I just kinda stopped, and now i'm picking it back up. admittidly what I saw and wanted to draw could have been something else but i couldn't help that i wanted to draw it. I am really trying to focus on me, drawing makes me feel happy and less stressed, and calm and all that, i'll just choose other things to draw from now on.

There you go!! Keep working on her picture if that makes you happy just don't post it on the internet. Post other things that you are working on for now. In time when when she hopefully comes around have it as something special to just share with her.
