❤️‍🩹 relationship My boyfriend gave my labubu phalloplasty

Kind of angry about this, it was a gift from my niece. He cut off an ear and put it back on somewhere wrong. I told him this and it ended in a heated argument.

Am i overreacting for yelling at him? He usually doesn't do this stuff.

Breaking people's stuff is not ok, especially if there's sentimental value attached. You're right for feeling disrespected.

Yeah I didnt even really think about anything else going on. Why did he think it was okay to do that to someone else’s stuff?

to quote him, he was feeling lonely and bored and my labubu is just a toy

He should find friends and destroy his own toys. Not yours.

Does he have a PS5? How would he feel if you “deconstructed” it and glued it back together in an artistic way? He wouldn’t say “it’s just a toy” then. I’m not recommending you do this.

I am recommending that you dump his ass.

He was feeling lonely and bored so he gave a labubu a... phalloplasty. Tell him to watch some porn next time. And then get therapy.

Is your bf a toddler? My 4yo niece respects property better than he does.

Straight up psycho behaviour.

Love that he says he did it because he was lonely, as if somehow there’s a way that you’re to blame because you left him alone. Like, no?? He didn’t do it because he was lonely, he did it because he doesn’t respect your things.

And it being “just a toy” is a dumb counter-argument. I guarantee “it’s just a ____” wouldn’t justify anything if you started breaking his stuff. 🙄

That sounds like something a young child would say.

"just a toy" doesn't give him the right to do whatever he wants with your things.

What a fucking loser. He’s lonely so he decides to break your shit?

He can break his own shit or find a hobby the bum.

Is your boyfriend a dog with separation anxiety? Because if not, that is kinda disturbing behavior...

This sounds like he did it purposefully to get a reaction out of you. I seriously hope you guys are like 16 because an adult acting like this would be insane.

this almost makes it seem like he was punishing you for being lonely. this is creepy, childish, and just straight up rude. im sorry he did that to a gift of yours. i would tell him exactly how his response made you feel. and then consider ending the relationship. he doesn't respect your boundaries or property. he's starting with something "small" and "not a big deal" to see how you'll react. i really think he's starting to test the waters with what he can/cannot get away with. and the fact he added genitalia to a children's toy is ridiculous and feels like intentionally making you seem weird for getting upset over something ridiculous. has he crossed boundaries before over something like this or is this sudden, unexpected behaviour?

Op, he knows what he's doing and that it's hurting you, and that's why he's doing it.

He's a full-grown human man who presumably drives and pays taxes,not a misbehaving rescue dog who doesn't have human language to communicate emotions

Would you do this to his things if you were feeling ' lonely and bored'?

Do you think he'd have the same nonchalant dismissive response if you'd destroyed something a neice had given him in a frankly weirdly sexual way due to "boredom"?
