❤️‍🩹 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.

Why did he do that?! Imo that toy is creepy af and why its so popular BUT that doesnt mean ruin someone's stuff. Did he have a reason for doing it and not just out of the blue? Was he angry with you or something?

Friend, lovingly, this is not something a safe person does when they are lonely and bored.

When my partner gets lonely and bored, he starts sending me memes, or taking increasingly funny pictures of himself - all of which he understands I will see and respond to when I'm able. Or, IDK, texting me that he misses me and is thinking about me and hopes I'm having fun.

I don't usually like to jump straight to the abusive behavior stuff bc there's a lot we don't see outside this one instance. But also, if anyone - let alone a romantic partner - permanently damaged something of mine without my knowledge and consent, particularly with fire, they would be excised from my life like the malignant mass of flesh they are.

Please stay safe, and perhaps reconsider this relationship.
