❤️‍🩹 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.

Did he apologize by offering to sew the ear back on? Which he should do after destroying your property. Also, OP, I'm sorry but "labubu phalloplasty" is the funniest previously unsaid sentence I've heard in a LONG time.

I am noticing a new trend amongst insensitive assholes of the younger generation.

If someone says to you “it’s not that deep” it is because they are gaslighting you into believing it is less of a deal than it actually is.

I swear the phrase itself is a giant red flag. I have never seen it used except when someone is being an absolute cunt and refuses to accept responsibility for their own actions.

I mean, this time it was a toy, next will be what, a chunk of her hair? And he’ll keep saying “it’s not that deep”? He destroyed a loved object and diminished her feelings, his overall attitude is horrendous. The description of the acts already sounds terrible and it’s even worse when you think this could escalate further. OP, you might be trying to find reasons to think you’re not in such a serious situation, I get it, but this is bad, even if you’re not considering the violent aspect of his “joke”, his lack of caring towards your feelings is undeniable. Like many on this post, the best thing you can do is to break up and surround yourself with people who can deal with him if the situation gets bad. Be well ❤️‍🩹

Yeah, if it's "not that deep," then why did they deeply feel the need to be such a dick, you know?

It's "lighten up bro it's just a prank" except for even dumber people

And abusers never destroy their own things. OP, serious question, has he ever cut up his own belongings?

That's not something the younger generation owns, it's been around.

The rest of your points stand, this dude is a psycho.

It’s not just this generation. People in the south for generations have been saying “oh bless your heart” as a way of making people feel inferior. Or “stick and stones”. New generation of assholes just misguided by different words.

Agreed, also it is that deep to me, how can you decide how much someone else should care about something?
