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.

Severe ongoing issues and concerns with Dollshe Dollshe Ban

What if your boyfriend/girlfriend does not like your dolls...

Dec 12, 2014

    1. In my opinion, I think it's childish of the boyfriend/girlfriend to be upset because they dislike their partner's hobby. It's extremely petty. Especially if he/she isn't your husband/wife, that makes it worse. If I had a boyfriend that tried arguing with me over a hobby that I enjoy, he isn't worth my time and isn't the right person. Not because of choosing between him or the hobby, but because this person is sitting here arguing and making a big fuss over something that should not have any bad effect on him. Also, him not respecting my interests that I'm truly passionate about; It just goes to show that he doesn't like me for me. I'd say sayonara, drama-seeker.

    2. I would say find another boyfriend/girlfriend. They don't really care for you if they can't respect the things you like.

    3. My boyfriend doesn't like dolls just like I don't like some of his weird obsessions. But what matters is respecting each other's hobby and supporting it anyway. If someone disliked your hobby to the point where they wanted you to stop then they're not accepting who you are. Ain't nobody got time for that!

    4. My wife has more dolls than me, so we're super into this together. I wouldn't date someone who didn't respect my interests, especially because most of the people I've run up against complaining about the expense and how "childish" this hobby is tend to have their own hobbies they spend "too much" on.

    5. My boyfriend does not share my hobby. He doesn't like that doll such expenses. But we find a compromise,as he has a hobby which he is no less enthusiastic than I am.

    6. When I run into similar issues I make a joke of how weird I've always been, always been "too loud", "too immature", and "weird".
      I speak about my dolls and art in such a way I think people understand my perspective even if still on their angle of only seeing things different than their "norm". We're an exposure of a niche community so I stay the positive informant, here lately people's response has been they know another person that "does that" (customizing dolls) though they're usually an entirely different type of doll it's still cool to share that relative ground.

      All in all, take me for what I am as I you if you don't it won't affect me either way, I think people realize that about me. :)

    7. I don't own any BJDs yet, but I'm saving up for my first one. I was with my boyfriend when I discovered this hobby, and he supports me 100 %. He has his own expensive hobby (collecting games), so he gets it. Besides, I make my own money, and I choose what to do with it. It feels good to have him by my side to talk to about it though.

    8. My boyfriend doesn't like dolls at all, finds them creepy and a waste of money, but he accepts the fact that they make me happy and he has no real say over how I spend my money anyway.

    9. I am not in the same boat, my husband is actually in the hobby with me.

      In my opinion, partners do not need to be in your hobbies however, they should be respectful of your hobbies as long as your hobby is not detrimental to yourself. I can understand a partner being concerned with the cost and time, but as long as all of your needs are met it shouldn't be a problem. For example, if I were to buy a doll when I can't afford my rent, I would expect my husband to speak up.
