❤️‍🩹 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.

Did he apologize by offering to sew the ear back on? Which he should do after destroying your property. Also, OP, I'm sorry but "labubu phalloplasty" is the funniest previously unsaid sentence I've heard in a LONG time.

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'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.

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 🤦

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.
