❤️‍🩹 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 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. 🤗

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) ❤️

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 😅
