1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

How does your partner feel about your bjds?

Nov 2, 2016

    1. My boyfriend thought it was a waste of money but supports me...
      1 year later and he has a soom Heliot
       
    2. My boyfriend is not a big doll lover (he has a huge fear of realistic/human-like dolls), but he is always supportive of me and my hobbies. He doesn’t like dolls but understands me, so he actually watches me and comments when I’m doing the face-ups for my dolls. XD it’s always nice to have someone like this around.
       
    3. My fiance loves bjds almost more than I did. When I first purchased one, he thought he was a little creepy since I didn't have anything for him then. Once he saw what they looked like when 'completed', he loved them and has several of his own on the way here. It's great to be able to share something you love with someone you love. On our last vacation, we took one of his yo-sds and took so many pictures.
       
    4. My husband is a hardworking, easy-to-please outdoorsy type. He likes bikes, trucks and guns and his idea of a great hobby weekend is going for a drive in the snow, cleaning his truck or tinkering on his bike. He is also very frugal and particular about household expenses, but so am I.

      Those seem like the ingredients for a guy who ought to hate dolls, but he does his best to support it because he sees how happy they make me, even if he can’t begin to understand the attraction. We’ve agreed that I only spend a portion of my own small income on them, but that works just fine because it keeps me strategic and selective about my purchases and creative with cardboard, paint and clay. I’m definitely prone to ‘stress buying’ and he has helped me manage those habits.

      As for the dolls being in his sphere, his ‘opinion’ is a shrug. He is adorably afraid of damaging them, however, and if I’ve left one out he will ask me to move it before he goes near enough to accidentally bump it or “mess it up.”

    5. [​IMG] [​IMG] this is basically my bf's mindset when ever it comes to anything I want to do or try. He still finds the dolls themselves creepy, and basically said once we move in together they're not allowed in the bedroom. (Which I completely understand they would be in my craft room currently if I had one.) But I think the main thing with him is, I am very new to this hobby and he fears that I'm getting myself head over heels for it. I dont really talk to him about this hobby because I feel like when I do I'm just weirding him out.

    6. My BF does not like my bjds, but I brought with my own money so he won't say anything about it. I started collection dolls before we met and he collect models so we do have some similarities. For now, we all love mdd and dd, we brought more than 10 dolls for each other as presents.

    7. He's mostly indifferent, but he's supportive of my hobbies and occasionally asks questions or asks how it's going.

    8. My partner dislikes it a lot. He thinks they are scary and too expensive. Especially for dolls without eyes he's got a fear. At first he limited the amount of dolls I can buy but now I think he's fine. I talked with him about it a lot (only have one doll so far) and DoA really helped. So thank you!!! He likes how creative I am with it though. :)
       
    9. My BF DM's a D&D campaign. As far as he's concerned, we both have our imaginary characters; mine just have physical representations. :thumbup

    10. My boyfriend is absolutely terrified of my dolls but tries his best to be ok when they’re out haha. Luckily I have kind of like a hobby room now it’s not much of an issue anymore
       
    11. I recently found out that my boyfriend thinks they're creepy. I had told him about the hobby three or four times in the past, even shown him one of my dolls. I guess he never really paid attention before we were out shopping and I picked up some nail decorations to use for doll piercings. Even more, I checked DOA in front of him after. He's not against it at least. I collect specimens and taxidermy too, so dolls aren't my "weirdest" thing.

    12. My partner is mixed on them he's glad I have a hobby but doesn't like the price and thinks they are a tad creepy (he says at least it's not one of those porcelain ones), but even then says if we have the money at some stage it's fine to get more (so Xmas lol), he encourages me to be crafty and make things to support my hobby. I think overall he's supportive cause it makes me happy (kinda like how I support his video game hobby (it's awesome to hear people talk about stuff they are passionate about))
       
    13. My husband has nothing with dolls but somehow likes the bjd I’ve got. Not seeing buying one of his own :) he just likes I’m having a hobby I enjoy this much

    14. My girlfriend (soon to be fiancée but shhhhh!) loves my dolls! They’re of characters from our series that both we role play, and I write on my own. She helps me choose sculpts and knits then little outfits. She absolutely loves my dolls and her favourite thing to do when she comes to my house is to have a crafting day.

    15. My husband is supportive of my hobby even if he finds the dolls creepy. It helps that he too collects posable toys (robots.)

    16. My boyfriend is like this! Happy i have a hobby but finds some a little creepy. I always get his opinion on whether a doll is too creepy for him before i add it to my future shopping list!

    18. My husband put together a massive cabinet for my dolls, he goes to doll shows with me, and he always tells me my dolls look nice. But he isn’t into dolls himself. I love that guy.

    19. He's a keeper! That's so lovely.

    20. I’ve always collected things (other types of dolls, action figures, etc.) to some degree so my husband wasn’t shocked by my interest in bjds, though he finds them creepy. He makes comments here and there but, I know it’s all good natured teasing, lmao.

      I don’t think think he really feels strongly about them either way though! Me collecting bjds is just another hobby/interest to him.
