So I do ceramics as a hobby and have exhibited as part of group shows at galleries in the past. Recently one gallery sent out a call for submissions for a LGBTQ+ themed exhibition and I sent in some plates, of which three were chosen to be included in the exhibition. We went to the gallery on the day of the opening, we were a bit early so we had a look around so long. To add context this gallery had about 4 different exhibit rooms and we weren’t together the whole time. The opening happens and afterwards we walk through the exhibition (which includes my plates) and I see that all three my plates have red dot stickers next to them, meaning they have sold, and I am overjoyed!
Yesterday I receive an email with the payment details- the gallery normally includes the name of the person who bought this, and it just read “anonymous”. Immediately this raises red flags. I. Then remember the conversation we had on the way home after the opening, where my husband asked if the gallery tells you who bought the pieces of art- I explained to him that they did. Tonight I asked him directly if he bought it and he confirmed it. I asked him why and his response was just that he “really wanted” them. I explained to him that he could just have asked and I would have made us some. I feel upset that he bought it before anyone else had a chance to do so at the exhibition. In some way I feel like a charity case. In some way It might even have been better if no one bought it and it just returned it after the exhibition. My husband just feels that he did a good thing. Lastly I must add that because I do this as a hobby, I have imposter syndrome when I am between full time artists or people that went to art school. Am I just an over sensitive ass?

Me and my bf of almost two years has had our first major hurdle in our relationship. We live about an hour apart. Work M-F jobs and I have to work one Saturday a month. We are limited to spending time with each other to weekends mostly. We have did dinner after work through the week sometimes in the past, but over the past several months that hasn’t happened. We have been on vacation once and we’re planning another one next month. We are both introverts and we can be overstimulated after work and need some space to ourselves. We don’t want to overwhelm each other with plans. Basically, we have both been waiting on the other person to initiate plans for the past several months. Unfortunately, this has caused him to feel undesirable and like I did not care for him. He says him always initiating the plans has made him feel that he may be a burden to me. This is a misunderstanding, and has made it apparent to me that we have both shied away from giving our expectations in this relationship. I have apologized and told him the things I would do now that I am aware of this. I will make plans, initiate dinner, and make sure he knows how much I love him. After almost two years, this is our first big issue so I want to talk and work through this. He has instead, told me he needs space because he is emotionally overwhelmed and his mental state is not good. He has an appointment with his therapist next week. He wants to take a break right now and hit pause on our relationship. Any advice on how I navigate this?
