Your partner and your BJD...

My boyfriend, like many, finds them creepy, but likes using them to creep out our friends more! He just shakes his head at me. We've never had any problems about it. He's wonderful about not complaining that they stare at him while he sleeps... xD

 

My boyfriend haven't seen much of them since we have a pretty long distance relationship (he lives in my hometown and I'm away studying, so I see him in holidays), but he's fully aware of my obsession for them. He does find them creepy, but he fully supports me. He even said he would help me get one spesific doll for my birthday this year, even though he found the little thing the most freaky and scary thing ever! It was either that or a game I really wanted, though, so it ended up with the game... But just that he said with an honest face that he would help me if I wanted it that much warms my heart!

I just thinks he sees this hobby as another little weird quirk of mine, and as long as I support him and his hobbies (game nerd of highest degree ), then he'll be here to support me and my hobbies.

 

my boyfriend thinks they are creepy and worries because i spent so much money on my first doll. Though he's starting to show a little interest since he told me instead of buying clothes that i should make my own since I'm always sewing or knitting on my free time. He even bought a barbie doll outfit from the store thinking that it was going to fit though it is way too small and not the right fit it made me smile that he's trying to help out even though he's not too fond of them. He also told me that if it makes me happy he's not going to stop me from my happiness and said whatever it takes to have a smile on my face so happy that he's supporting me.

 

If it wasn't for my dolls, my boyfriend wouldn't have noticed me and we wouldn't have got together!

 

My husband really likes my little guys, and clearly wants one for himself, though hasn't found the droid... I mean doll... he's looking for yet. The closest he's come to getting one was the other day when I pointed out the Angell Studio Baron Samedi, and was all ready to order until he realised it was the size of a small child.

He really enjoys the clothes I make for them, and the little tableaux I set up. Which is nice, because I kept them a secret for quite a while, worried what he'd think.

 

My husband is very sweet and accepting of my hobby, just as long as the bills get paid first. ^_~

 

This sounds familiar! My Dear Hubby doesn't mind my doll collecting, but he does mind me spending too much. He definitely doesn't understand buying a $400 doll. However, I think he appreciates the fact that I have a hobby, since he's got his own.

 

My fiance has a slight phobia of BJDs. But he knows I love them and actually bought my first one as an early birthday present, with strict rules that once we're married, it stays out of our room. But he surprised me, when I told him that my boy was on the way saying that I must take pictures of him and send them. I also found him looking at sculpts at one point (on his own) and he showed an interest in DOD DOT Ducan (perhaps there is hope for him yet).
He doesn't mind about the money because he drops more on online games and video games and gaming consoles then I ever could on a doll. x3

 

Well. My boyfriend and I have a long distance relationship, but he has seen my dolls many times because I often attend to doll meetings in his hometown because there's more doll people there.

He thinks they're slightly creepy, mainly because their "empty" staring eyes. And he always thinks that my Alexander is a girl (he's definitely a boy).

But but... He is terribly in love with my LittleFee Bisou and keep asking me to borrow Oodi to him. Which I haven't done because I'm overly protective about my dolls and afraid that he could lost or break her (he's one of those people who have a tendency to lost things sometimes). I have said that I could buy a petite doll for him but he refused because he thinks dolls are too expensive to give as a present.

And he has also said that he would not love me anymore if I used all of my money to dolls

 

But you wont use ALL youre money. One has to spend a bit of money on nonsensical things like a roof over youre head and food.

 

My girlfriend and I got into the hobby at the same time and she's a terrible dolly enabler! At the same time, her google-fu is much better than mine it so works out for me to be the voice of reason and her to be the keeper of dolly knowledge. Our household tribe has exploded since we bought our first dolls after quite a bit of lurking. Between March and now we've gone from having one doll (RS Jun) to having seven and a floating head! O.o it wouldn't have grown quite so quickly if she hadn't happened on 5star's summer event when she was going to order anyways.

Oh well... We do love our boys.

 

My boyfriend is a huge enabler, especially with my favorite company. He bought my first doll for me because I'm poor and he wanted to spoil me for Christmas. We've joked about me filling our future house with dolls, but he does encourage me to buy more of them when I have the funds to do so. Oh, boyfriend, you don't know what you've started. xD

 

My boyfriend loves Chaucer C: He laughs at me when I dress Chaucer in a skirt and he jokes that Chaucer has a crush on him haha (because my doll is gay). But he loves Chaucer. He'll hold him for me and is accepting of my nutty tendencies. For example I make a bed for Chaucer to "sleep" in at night, and I get very upset if someone hits Chaucer on accident or something--but he is very good about respecting him. ^_^ I love my boyfriend, he is very good to me.

 

my mum think them beautiful even she's kinda get crazy about their price,but she still have willing to understand and support me a bit,also keep them away from my dad..lol

 

It would be so great to be able to share my interest in BJDs with my future partner, but if that doesn't happen, then that's alright. So long as I don't have to choose between him or my BJDs -- I have been a doll collector for many years now and it would be terribly sad if I had to give it up.

 

I drag my poor husband around on "dolly photoshoots" all over the countryside. He is very understanding. I'm very lucky! He thinks BJDs (and most other dolls) are way over priced but has shown interest in how they are strung, and has volunteered to help me restring my first doll when the time comes. Paula

 

my S.O is very accepting of my dolls. he likes to see pictures of them and will joke about having a small crush on zoey, when he is being silly he will talk about my boy dolls as if they were old friends of his (yes, he is just as crazy as i am) he's always interested in what im doing with the dolls (new wigs, eyes, or face ups) and has actually spent alot of time recently on youtube looking at bjd stop motion videos. he finds BJD's very interesting. i dont think he would ever buy one for himself but he has never said anything slightly negative about them not even about the price. he accepts me and my hobbies completely

 

My boyfriend likes my dolls, and dolls in general. He's not involved in the hobby, but he does want his own doll in the future. He's even picked out a few sculpts he likes but he's still a few months away from getting one (we're saving up for a move so neither of us is in the position to make any large purchases).

I don't think he'll ever be too deeply involved, but he's showed some interest in going to local meets and he supports my interest. It's nice to have him around since he's very honest and his opinions are always something I find very helpful.

I'm very lucky to have him! Handsome and he likes dolls... What are the odds.

 

He has 'Ball-Jointed Dolls' as one of his interests on Facebook. :P lol. He likes playing with them (putting them into silly poses...) and always gives his opinion when I tell him I want to buy a new one, and she him pictures. Haha.

 

We've been together for over two years!
Now together we are looking forward to my first doll.
