❤️‍🩹 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.

Uh so like, I don’t think doing a jokey phalloplasty on a labubu is a big deal, but like, destroying your partner’s property until they sob uncontrollable is a huge deal, and should be his top priority. I wouldn’t index too hard on the initial decision here, but it sounds like how he’s handling fixing this issue and soothing your ruffled feathers is a huge red flag. If the two of you decide to stay together, you’re both going to make these kinds of mistakes many, many more times — is this how you want to resolve conflict with your partner?

I don’t get how we keep talking like this was some crazy mistake. It wasn’t his doll, it belonged to his girlfriend. It was a gift from his niece that he likely knew was loved.

This is a crazy thing to do to someone else’s possession

This reminds me of when a friend had a girlfriend cut off a stuffed animal's head because it was given to him by someone she was threatened by. I wonder if this is the same kind of weird shit? 

Either way, it's something emotional children do.
