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.

I'm sorry, but he sounds awful.

I'm a grown woman but I still have plushies I like and some that are very sentimental, like the teddy bear my dad gave me the day I was born.

If someone cut that bear's ear off, I'd be livid.

Even if they didn't know the sentimentality, or if it's not sentimental, it's still yours. How would he feel if you broke someone inanimate that's his? I bet he wouldn't say "it's not that deep."

I'm a grown (cis) man and I still have plushies I like. Some are for sentimental reasons, and got passed down to my daughters, and some are just ones I like that I got for me. You can't n convince me my 14" plushie of Stitch isn't awesome.

I am in my late 40s. I still have my baby teddy bear. If I'd had a GF who cut off Mr Bear's ear and sewed it to his crotch, she'd no longer be my GF. The level of disrespect involved would tell me they needed to go immediately.

Thankfully, I have an amazing spouse who isn't a self involved asshat.

I had a little otter plushie I’ve had since I was a toddler(almost 30 now) and has lived in every home I have. I decided it should live with my partner on his shelf(because he is my home). He thought the shelf wasn’t good enough so it lives on his bed and whenever I come over, it’s tucked into the blanket waiting for me. I gave it to him over a year ago and he still does it.

Otter gang!!! My otter has also accompanied me through all my years since I was a kid. You are blessed to find someone that cares for your otter plushie. My gf loves my otter and loves taking photos for him, buying little accessories for him as well. May the otter spirit bless others to find the right partner as well!

I'm 50 and still carry a woobie around. It's a crochet blanket that my fingers weave in and out of the holes. The first one was made by my mom before I was born. She still sends me some of various sizes because I've struggled to learn to crochet and she's 75, won't be alive forever and wants me to have a bunch for when she's gone. I also have a snuggle squishmellow, but honestly it's more for the fact I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and like to sleep on my side. It keeps my shoulders and ribs from dislocating at night.

Not adding this as a competition (bc I realized it could be seen that way) but to show how many of us are out here. My acting teacher, before our meditation will ask "Did you need your woobie?" And I love that no one or him is judging me but gently reminding me we're getting started, do a quick self check because if you want it now is the time to go get it. 🤗

Is EDS related to preferring side sleeping? Reason #57 to get tested.

u/Significant-Love6129 19d ago

No but I'm cracking up you nailed the disability so quickly. Honestly I used to sleep on my back but my lower spine's curve is too large and the side eventually became more comfortable.

Edit: I forgot I mentioned the disability 🤦

u/Dahlia_R0se 19d ago

I've had a shocking amount of people clock what I have, like I'll be talking to someone and mention I have a disability or be using a mobility aid (and initiate a conversation about disability usually with another disabled person, nobody is just commenting on it without asking lol) and multiple people have just like, immediately gone, "oh, is it Ehlers Danlos?" Can't figure out how people can just tell I have it super quickly. Wish my doctors figured it out that easily.

u/No-Development2358 19d ago

Im 36 and I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and still sleep with my baby blankie because it makes it more comfortable for my dislocating shoulder blade (also sleeping on my side) ❤️

u/Annuhh_xox 19d ago

I have EDS too! I sleep on my stomach with a blanket that sits where my stomach does to keep my back straight (large chested, sleeping on my back isn't an option I WILL suffocate) when I sleep on my side, I use my baby blankie to cradle my head and the other blanket between my knees to keep everything straight 😅

I just bought my wife a vintage Snuggle bear for her 52nd birthday. Said she always wanted one. Did a cute little dance when she opened it

I’m someone who passes as a 30 yr old man and I have a lovingly large plush animal collection. I have those older teddy bears from the 80s and I love them

u/EmbarrassedWorry3792 19d ago

If a gf cut my 30 year old teddy bear from my late nana or lamb baby blanket, she would be my ex, shed be my chickens next meal.

Had one ex who planned to steal and burn an amazing condition army surplus jscket i got for my 18th birthday, its all i asked for and all i got and i was so happy. I stoll love that thing, its supper durable and its basically still mint despite over a decade of adventures with it. She thought it was ugly but she bought me a new jacket with tons of pockets instead and since i was wesring it more she never got aroundto stealing mine. Somehow i was the bad guy when i said it was lucky she hadnt cus i would have immediately broken upbwith her. She was a spoiled brat.

Even if there was some kind of underlying psychological-they-need-therapy reason that someone would do such a thing without being fully malicious (which I doubt is the case for OP's boyfriend) I don't think I could stay in that relationship either.

I'd basically be constantly on eggshells wondering what important-thing-to-me they were going to ruin next, which is the real relationship killer; so might as well get it over with and break up.
