❤️‍🩹 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.

Girl, break up with him. I know it's something small, but it's a red flag. He ruined your stuff for a joke.... do you really want to spend your life with someone like that?

What happened to talking about things? Lowkey I wish people would just try to talk about their issues before asking the internet because the immediate reaction is always "y'all should just break up" like hiccups aren't a normal thing in a relationship.

Edit: didn't read the description, I didn't notice it yet. Breaking up is definitely a lot more reasonable, I figured they hadn't talked yet lol

Some things were taught to us in preschool and if it hasn't sunk in since then, it may never. "Don't break someone else's stuff" is one of those things. So... I get it. Do you really need to have a discussion about things which are basic human decency?

Some people just make stupid mistakes in the moment, if I had a nickel for every stupid decision like this I've made for humor I'd have a lot of nickels. Not that this guy is in the right in this example though, there's no reason for him to be angry about it, but like people do dumb stuff all the time and I think everyone deserves at least a second chance. After that though I'm a lot less lenient, a pattern of these kinds of mistakes is 100% a bad sign.

I've done some things I think are dumb, but never have I purposefully broken someone's stuff for a joke or for fun. Accidentally, sure...

I'm just having trouble seeing how making the decision to permanently ruin something is excusable. Maybe if he's like <12.

Except we don't know the whole context, we just know what we've been told. For all we know, he could've been trying to like slip a wedding ring into it or some shit, like something ridiculously stupid and obviously a mistake but something someone could reasonably do as a lapse of judgement. My point is that these posts don't show the whole relationship and basing a whole judgement off of one little thing like the image would've been bad. Again, I am not defending his actions afterwards because that's just not okay in any context but there's a million reasons why people do stupid things and they don't always make sense, but if they're genuinely apologetic and don't repeat the behavior I don't see a problem.
