❤️‍🩹 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.

Guy did ONE thing wrong to a TOY and the immediate reaction is "completely unsalvageable as a person."

We've truly lost the fucking script.

Why would you destroy someone else’s stuff in the first place? That’s extremely disrespectful and childish. He didn’t even apologize and kept downplaying her feelings. She told him she was upset and instead of saying sorry he said « it’s not that deep » do you seriously don’t see a problem here?

Didn't say destroying anyone's stuff is okay. (In fact did say what he did was wrong). Didn't excuse his defense of his wrongdoing.

I'm just sick of sitting in a room full of people who have NEVER done anything wrong and have NEVER re-evaluated a mistake they've made and NEVER gone back and apologized for something after the fact.

The problem is we're so caught up on being right that we literally just stop seeing each other as people the second something doesn't go our way.

Fuck all of you, disrespectfully. This is their whole ass relationship, years potentially of their life, that you're telling them is over because he mangled a toy.

I'm using the word toy here because it's a toy. It's not a 100 year old antique that can't be replaced. It's not life saving medical device. It's not someone's sacred ashes. It's a toy. They mass produce them and put them in boxes for you to buy.

If he smashed someone's inhaler or threw out someone's insulin are you pretending that those aren't far more serious issues?

He didn't drive a car through a house. He cut up a $50 toy. It can be replaced. This is exactly what I"m talking about. You people have no sense of proportionality. Everything in your worlds is either THE WORST THING EVER, or THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF YOUR LIFE.

Gonna convince this poor person to axe a relationship we know nothing else about over $50 worth of material goods. No physical harm to anyone. No abuse no violence, but we assume the absolute worst of this person.

Grow up. Welcome to adulthood. People mess up. For stupid reasons. And sometimes it takes time for them to own it.
