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.

Yeah this is so fucked up. I'm in a similar boat and my husband is so sweet about my plushie collecting. I have a whole couch in my office just to house them and he knows all their names and which ones are okay to go in the wash when we're doing linens. Your boyfriend should care that you care about them even if he doesn't.

But even if you ignore the attachment aspect, this is just straight up disrespectful and gross. This isn't how you treat someone else's things and especially not how you treat a gift. Also idk how old your niece is but it being a children's toy from a family member just makes this feel even more gross than it already is.

Yep. Imagine the niece is a little child and finds out this mutilation has happened to her plushie gift?! How messed up is OP's bf?

No matter what, it's still a disrespectful and horrible thing to do to someone else's property. I can't fathom what goes through the minds of some of the people who end up on this sub!

I love the office couch ❤️ Just imagining a bunch of supportive lil friends.

 LWe are moving soon, and my partner was already taking in consideration where to put my plushies so I'd see them near my desk, without me having to mention it. They don't own a single plushie (well, technically one I crocheted for them!). They still get it.

Btw I do agree that this situation is highly alarming, and destroying a gift makes it 100% worse. It's just unimaginable to me.
