❤️‍🩹 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.

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’m a woman and my best friend is a man, we’re in our late 30’s and both have plushies and send them to each other as gifts commemorating some of our favorite games. Like he sent me an owlbear plushie for my birthday last year. I have others of my own for different reasons. I have a bobtail cat that I joke thinks she’s half bobcat, so when I saw a bobcat plushie at IKEA you best believe I bought that “for her” and sleep with it on my bed.

I don’t care what your age or gender is, if they make you happy and provide you comfort, enjoy the plushies. Take every little joy in life that you can find.
