my bf doesn't know ph
The story
Okay, so here's the thing. I've been with my boyfriend for over a year now and you would think by this point we basically know each other inside out, right? Well, apparently not! Imagine my shock when I realized he is completely oblivious to something that's a huge part of my life. I mean, come on! For real, how does that even happen? It’s like living with someone who has selective hearing or some kind of hobby filter in his brain. We've shared breakfast together while I’ve been doodling away on my sketchpad or lathered in paint for hours and he's never bothered to ask why. I'm an artist, dammit! It's more than just a hobby - it's practically what defines me.
Now I’m sitting here wondering if there’s some sort of disconnect between us. Should I try introducing him to this side of me or just leave it be and hope one day he’ll magically notice the damn easel in the corner? Maybe he's afraid he won’t understand any of it or support it. Like, dude, all you had to do was notice once when I showed you that piece hanging above our bed (the one that took weeks by the way!) With everything being so positive otherwise - he makes me laugh like no other and totally gets my love for random Netflix shows - maybe I'm blown' this whole thing out of proportion 🤦♀️ but seriously what would you guys do? Throwin’ paintbrushes at him until it clicks, have a polite convo or just let it slide?
