Couples collecting?

Married almost 20 years, only recently got into dolls. My wife isn't interested, in them, and lucky for me does not find a middle aged guy with a long beard collecting dolls creepy or gross. A little amusing maybe but I can live with that.

 

I have known my boyfriend since I was 14 (long-distance), and now we've been living together almost 5 years I think? I have been looking at dolls online for 3 or 4 years and he hasn't always been super supportive, but not mean about either. He thinks some dolls are 'creepy' but has agreed with me a couple times when I've found a particularly cute one. I think he doesn't understand the price of the doll, and that has been my main hurdle with buying my first doll, since he is the sole bread-winner at the moment.

 

Married, and my husband is supportive. That said, I only just received my first today. ^_^ But he's a very loving guy and likes whatever makes me happy.

 

I've been married for over thirty years and collecting dolls for the past twenty. My husband collects trains. Everyone needs a hobby and you can support your partner's even if you don't really get it. All the trains look the same to me.......

 

Married, husband only ever inquires if he should be wearing an N95 mask too when he walks into the 'craft room' which doubles as a computer room. We just went in halfsies on a 3D printer, him for board game accessories and myself for doll bits n' bobs. He gets excited when I do over something I've done, and we've each got "fun money" accounts so he can buy his video games and I can buy doll stuff. All is good!

 

I feel so blessed that my girlfriend is interested in dolls too. I got her on DoA and she wants to get her own dolls some day when she has the money. She's so sweet, she loves my little girls almost as much as I do, and I love her for it . And she always listens to me when I'm going on and on about my doll plans which I know a lot of people wouldn't . It's really nice to never have to hide my doll love or feel embarrassed around her. I don't think I would want to be with a person who made me feel bad about my hobby. Luckily, for us, I think this hobby is just another great thing about our relationship.

 

My boyfriend is fine with them, even if he sometimes wishes I spent less time obsessing over them. I have been making cloth dolls since long before I met him, and have been interested in BJD for years. He even bought Tripp and her accessories for me as a combined Anniversary, birthday and Xmas gift!
He is generally pretty understanding of my weird and obsessive ways

 

My partner is very supportive, not neccessarily interested but that is fine :') he happily buys me dolls for birthdays etc

 

I may not have a doll-collector husband, but I have the next best thing! Hubby is creeped out by dolls (we blame Poltergeist and Child's Play, both of which he watched as a kid) but is fine with me collecting dolls because it makes me happy. We've agreed to keep them OUT of the bedroom, and when I make stuff for the dollies I try to save my enthusiastic "I made pretties!" for people who won't yell "GAHHH!" when I hold up the doll. :P

 

My boyfriend knows about the hobby and the prices, he's not very interested so having an actual decent conversation doesn't happen often but he'll look at dolls that I'm interested in and put his opinion in. P:

 

My fiancé and I have been together for almost four years now and only recently have a felt comfortable attempting to participate in the doll hobby again. It's interesting, because he knew I was into lolita and cosplay when we met and he maintains his own Nintendo fanboy collection, but for some reason I was convinced the BJD's would some how just be "too weird". So when we first started dating, I put my last doll in storage. She sat untouched in the dark for 6 months before I decided to sell her. I feel I've made a huge mistake, and all because I assumed he'd be weirded out. We've talked about it sense then and he's assured me that he'd have no problem with me restarting my collection. This is why I love him to death

 

Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 4 years now.
He know about my hobby and he was the one who pushed me to finally buy a doll!
He doesn't collect them himself and never will.
But he respects my hobby just like i respect his.

 

My fiancé and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary and going to be married on 6/6. He's incredibly supportive. I wanted to sell all my dolls out of frustration, but he stopped me and reminded me how happy I've been since starting this hobby. He even double checks with me if I'm selling a doll. He is annoyed with the fact he's started looking at stuff that could be used as props lol

I've been with my current girlfriend for a while now, and she came along after I was super into the doll hobby/before I got back into the doll hobby. She knew of it before, and is extremely encouraging of it now, wanting to watch me paint and sew and such.

 

Been married a long time, and husband not only supports hobby, he buys me dolls. Since I now own over 300 O.T. dolls and 16 BJDs guess that says support!

 

Married, with kid, dolls are a complete non-issue. It wasn't an issue when our son got his own O.T. doll, either. He's very encouraging and supportive of my hobbies, and I am of his.

 

Married here, and my hubby is so supportive of my hobby sometimes I just can't believe how lucky I am.
He doesn't get after me about the cost or the money thing, because he knows me well enough to trust that I don't spend the money if I can't afford it. That said, some of these dolls are very large purchases so I do always check with him first before hitting the "submit order" button.

He never tells me I don't need another doll, or makes me feel foolish for enjoying them as much as I do. He seems to be thoroughly impressed with any face up attempt or sewing project and he even bookmarks my Flickr page so he can see my doll photography. He's purchased dolls for me as gifts for my birthday and Christmas.

But he understands, he has his own hobbies as well. He loves computers and electronics and collects Lego which can be pretty expensive too!

He helps me decide on sculpts, wigs and eye colours and I help him feel up Lego minifigure blind bags at Toys R Us so he doesn't get duplicates. It's a true, loving, nerdy partnership

 

I am in a relationship and my partner also collects dolls, he actually bought me my first doll and several dolls since ^^

 

I've been with my partner for six and half years now
He bought my first doll (Souldoll Sharics) for me for my 18th birthday
He supports me fully and is very generous, often gifting me with dolls at Christmas,
on my birthdays and even just as Valentine's Day gifts! He is quite interested in my dolls
and the processes of customisation, as well as having an appreciation for various sculpts and styles
I couldn't ask for a more caring and supportive life-partner! ​

 

My boyfriend is VERY supportive. hes the one who pushes me to do the doll hobby because i love it so much, and when i need something for it he will go out of his way to get it (aka wax paper for wefts at 9 pm lol) i kind of talk myself down because i feel like i shouldnt be doing a hobby because it may be a waist of time, but he makes sure i pursue it because it makes me really happy.
