How does your partner feel about your bjds?

My girlfriend is just like my tan MiniFee Chloe...
...I don't have a tan MiniFee Chloe

 

My boyfriend is pretty creeped out by dolls in general but he is pretty supportive of my hobby because he thinks it's a good artistic hobby for me. Although, he thinks it's too expensive. Though, that probably because I got four in 6 months because retail therapy is real...

 

But someday, you'll get a Tan Miniffe Chloe who can be your girlfriend. Jk, you'll get a Tan MiniFee Chloe AAAANNNNDDDD a girlfriend!

 

If my husband knew how much these dolls cost, he would have a stroke! As it is, he doesn’t know, and he is supportive of my artistic endeavors. Since he loves building models, he can’t say anything negative lol

 

HAHAHAHA. Thank you for the encouragement! And hopefully I'll find one who likes dolls as much as I do. I have 5 now with two more on the way (not including my future tan MiniFee Chloe ) So they are a part of the package for whoever dates me, lol.

 

My husband is creeped out by them and thinks they are overpriced but he's supportive of my hobby and appreciates that I save for things rather than always impulse buying. Also oddly enough he got really happy when I shared that I was sort of taking over scheduling duties in my local BJD group. Setting up the meets and what not. He says he will go to one of my meets sometime next year.
We both acknowledge that he'll be bored to tears but its so nice that he is this proud and supportive of me.

 

My better half reigns me in a little- which I am glad for! When I want to think about/look into BJD stuff I tend to pull all-nighters looking at images, reading forums, judging and comparing sculpts. So, at least, he can help me put that stuff down and try to come back to it later.

Sometimes it ends up me ranting and rambling about why I want one doll, why I shouldn't get them yet, and what to sew next. My first doll was slightly impulsive but I literally woke him up and asked him about it before I bought it.

Though if he didn't like the doll at least a little, I probably wouldn't buy. After all I want to make sure he's comfortable with her judging stare from the shelf.

 

I can definitely relate to this! I spent hours on this forum, looking at websites, and combing through information before buying my first doll.

My husband is supportive but probably bored with talking about dolls. It evens out because I listen to him talk about all his anime shows :P

 

I don't have a partner- but if I do have one some day, I'd like if they could support my hobby. I don't think I can have a partner who looks all ugly at my dolls all the time :')

 

My boyfriend is actually super supportive and kinda curious about them. I've even caught him taking a few pictures of mine to show his coworkers lol. I don't see him ever owning one but definitely my step daughter when shes a little older.

 

He's really creeped out by it but he's used to me buying stuff like this (I got a couple of nendoroids before my first doll). Sometimes I ask him to touch my doll like ask him to carry her to me and I can see that it makes him so uncomfortable haha. However he is so accepting, he said after Christmas dinner was over that we forgot to serve a dish to my doll aww.

 

I still yet haven’t find my partner! But my family some of them thinks its weird or something but they don’t care so much. Maybe one rude family member but is okay haha. As for my future partner he will need to be understanding and respectful towards my hobby, I’m not gonna force him to be supportive if he doesn’t like it though.

 

My husband gets creeped out by the uncanny valley of dolls but he's getting more used to them, if not like a few. He's supportive to a certain point but dolls are expensive (esp. since I have a history of going overboard with my hobbies) so he's keeping me in check when it comes to spending on them like I do when it comes to his Dungeons & Dragons purchases XD

 

My partner loves seeing my dolls! They get super excited for me when I talk about them, but I think it's because they make me happy

 

I'm so proud I got my partner into it enough to split an order with me as long as it's aesthetic speaks to him

 

My mother and siblings are very supportive, mostly because they dont know how pricey it is and because they like seeing me happy. They are of the mindset that I could be doing horrible things and yet here I am, staying at home and never worrying any of them so my hobbies are always welcomed. My sister was slightly puzzled when I first showed her my doll, she didn't expect the size, he is bigger than my nephew currently is after all, but other than that

 

my first doll was my 17 years old birthday gift from my father and my mom didn't like him at all, she kept grumbling me for several years but now she likes them more and more, sometimes she will take pictures of them and post to her social media. however, my father turns to unsupportive, with my collections grow, he feels I spend too much time on this hobby

 

My boyfriend is very supportive with my hobby, but he thinks that dolls are a bit creepy. I usually send stopmotion animations with dolls to joke him
Fortunately, my mum and dad loves them, they give me an SD17 Ryoma for my birthday last year.

 

I figure that BJDs will just be a small blip on the long list of things that are keeping me from getting a boyfriend.


IMHO, if they don't take up much space and I am good at managing money, it would be insulting if someone dumped me because of my dolls.

 

When I first showed a BJD photo for my boyfriend, he said he didn't know if they were beautiful or creepy. He must have felt the uncanny valley thing, I guess XD
He is supportive of my hobbies (scrapbook, drawing, crochet, etc) as I am of his. He sometimes ask about my BJD wishlist, but prefers not to know the price I'm paying for them. Ignorance is bliss
