How does your partner feel about your dolls?

My most recent ex was so supportive that she wanted to make clothes for my dolls. She never got around to it before we broke up, but we're still friends (in true sapphic fashion), so...who knows!

 

my hubby thinks their face proportions are too unrealistic and that's why he dislikes them, but he lets me keep them just fine as long as he doesn't have to see their faces. and we have a tacit agreement not to talk about price.

i do like that it keeps me in check so i'm not always buying more dolls...i've decided to stick with two girls and two guys based on face sculpts i like, and focus on clothes and accessories for them from then on.

 

My partner is also in the hobby. We have great fun going on online clothes shopping trips for our dolls.

 

My partner is in this hobby too. I loves my dolls sometimes more than his own. XD It's fun to talk with him about our dolls and go shopping for them, the only thing I have to do alone is sewing and taking pictures of them. ^^

 

Thankfully very supportive! She encouraged me to purchase my first doll and lets me share my ideas with her, through links, moodboards, and wish lists and even offers suggestions on what we could get for her.
She is looking into getting her own after mine, to see if we take to our first doll, and shares her ideas with me as well.
Can't wait to see what happens

 

We both collect dolls so that is not an issue

 

I am also in the fortunate situation that my girlfriend is a doll collector as well. I got her into the hobby a few years back and since then our little collection grows steadily ^^

 

My husbands likes that they make me happy. He also very helpful with my ideas. He can sew and made a pair of lace booty shorts for me and a cross-stitch rug as well.

I was going to let him tackle the face up/blushing for my skelly doll to make her look like old bone. He laughs cause compared to painting his Warhammer minis, she feels big to him.

 

My partner finds my love for dolls to be cute lol they have always been supportive and even help me decide on names, clothes, eyes, etc. Having someone who supports me so much has definitely boosted my confidence for being apart of the hobby, and to stop caring what other people think about the things I enjoy. We both are collectors so we would never judge each other based on our interests. Sometimes they ask to help when I'm taking pictures or just to be company when I'm playing with them. Its really sweet and is such a fun way to spend quality time together.

 

My husband is ok with my hobbies, he has his own hobbies and we both support and encourage each other with what we like. My best friend also is into dolls, even though we have different size preferences. I grew up getting dolls on holidays and birthdays every year so most family/friends aren't fazed by my collections. There are definitely a few that may comment here or there, but nothing major, and frankly I don't care what anyone thinks anyway.
If I was ever with anyone that gave me any issues about my hobbies I would probably cut them loose if a conversation about expectations etc couldn't bring some type of compromise.

 

My husband is supportive of it. It actually took me like 3 years of being with him before I finally brought my then 3 dolls out from hiding and confessed that I liked BJDs, haha. I was so worried that he'd think I was weird. But he didn't care! He was just glad that I had a hobby. He even bought, painted, and installed lights into a display case for me to put my dolls in two Christmases ago.

 

My partner is pretty supportive! He knew I had them before, but I've bought only two dolls in the five years we've been together. I sometimes get the feeling that he really judges the price, but his hobbies and collections are expensive too, so he acknowledges that he had no place to judge Still, he's happy that I get excited over the hobby and that I love my dolls. He's also fascinated with how customizable they are and takes interest in what kind of characters I have planned out!

 

My SO is afraid of some dolls (like the porcelain ones and really large dolls) so I did show them what I was buying before actually buying. Thankfully they think the three I have are cute and not creepy. I do try not to have the dolls headless or eyeless laying around though. They have helped me pick a wig when I couldn't decide between two, etc.

 

My partner was never against my hobby but became a lot more supportive once he started his own collecting and trading hobby lol. He became more open to me working on and displaying my dolls when he's around (even at night!! ) after I encouraged him to get a glass display case for the best of his trading card collection and helped him create an area that's best for his live streaming (for card opening and selling).

He's no longer spooked by my dolls and is starting to even like them more! (but still not the dollfie dream lol. He says that something about their big eyes puts him off)

 

My husband's very chill about it. He always takes the time to comment on my face-up progress or encourage me with my sewing, and I have my dolls on a bookshelf in our bedroom and it doesn't seem to bother him at all. I have a pretty stressful job and am just dealing with a lot of stress in general lately, and I think for him he's just happy to see me have a hobby I really enjoy, lol.

 

My wife is pretty relaxed about my dolls. She just tells people my dolls are another of the random things my husband is into. She does get excited about seeing all the little props or accessories that I build for them. And more than once she has gotten annoyed that my dolls have cuter outfits than she does.

 

It was actually my partner who got me into dolls! We both fuel the our doll cabinets and browse different places to increase our hoard…

 

My husband likes my dolls, although he has warned me against filling the room up with too many of them. He likes seeing how I express myself creatively through them and hearing about my doll story. Sometimes he will also come pose them and it usually looks better than what I do He does not like some parts of customizing though, basically he is very adverse to toy gore and is dusturbed by seeing them disassembled. So I try not to leave works in progress lying around or at the very least confine them to the workroom.
