Your partner and your BJD...

I got my boyfriend into BJDs and he has his own girl now. XD

 

my GF (yes am a Bi ) likes to play roleplay a lot and into this kinda 'doll' and miniature stuff but never plan to buy one because the price ~

so i decide to have my own doll and i bought one at 28th nov , i told her first she was all mad because she thinks i'm wasting money (the doll cost me almost $1000 , maybe for people its not that much or its normal but for me who lived at Indonesia its very very expensive , you can get 3 cell phone's exchange)

but then she apologize and start giving me a miniature chair , bed , bookshelf , food etc ~
also she start to make clothing for my boy which i'm really happy ~

 

my girlfriend is kind of wary of their prices. Thats why I want to buy all of the ones I want before we move in together. Cuz. I have a feeling my dolls will cause a lot of arguments in terms of finances.

She likes my dolls though, and she wants some of her own. She's just a bit of a cheapstake XD

My room mate right now, who's been my best friend for years... i think he's pretty indifferent to them. He likes helping me make things for them because he likes archetecture, math, and puzzles. but when it comes to the actual dolls, I don't think he really cares ^^;

 

Both my boyfriend and myself are into arts, and be fore we met, he worked with resin and designing BJDs for a school project (not in the same style as the on topic dolls, but that's how he was introduced to them). When I showed him the doll that I wanted to get, he was very supportive and admitted that he wouldn't mind having one as well. Since we're long-distance at the moment, he doesn't actually get to play with my doll (which I think makes him a little sad, lol), but he always asks me how Sebby is doing and asks for pictures when I do something new with him.

 

My girlfriend, she's scared shitless of dolls, but she loves the ones I get. Thinking they are amazing looking, but she can't sleep in the same room as them, which I find is ok, so I just move mine for the night.

 

My mister doesn't really have an opinion on my dolls, as he never really sees them. My first proper doll is arriving soon, so I suppose we'll see how that turns out, I guess. Though he's supportive when I get excited about them, and puts it down as an idiosyncrasy of mine...

 

I first met my wife when she was vacationing in my area and visited with our local doll group. So yea, no tension on either end when it comes to dolls since that is how we met!

 

I recently got a bf and we are just getting use to that but we have been friends for what seems like forever and he is cool about it. He'll ask questions and nod his head I don't think he will ever have dolls of his own nor do I think he wants to but it's still nice of him to at lest act like he is interested in my hobbie.

 

I currently don't have anyone, but they would have to be atleast a little accepting of me being in the hobby. They don't have to be full force on it, but they need to accept that this is who I am and this is what I like to do.

 

When I began the relationship with my current boyfriend I had my very first BJD on layaway already. When he first entered my room he was overwhelmed about my hundreds of ponies and dolls. But he loves it and is so supportive. He will get some extra money at the end of this month and he bugs me all the time because he wants to buy me another doll and he thinks I don't decide fast enough^^

I am waiting for the day he will get his very first doll

 

*edit* Didn't realize I'd already responded to the thread, but a year later, it's still the same as it's always been. You have to respect your partner, your partner needs to respect you. As long as you are both being responsible, and are in good communication you should be able to discuss any fun hobby purchase. He teases, he jokes, but he's learned to love them and even gets interested when I'm considering purchasing another one.

 

My boyfriend has no right to complain about my dolls, after all he is an enthusiastic action figure collector himself

He does tease me about turning into "one of those creepy doll people" but it's all in good nature

 

I'm very lucky that my partner is a doll collector, too, though not on the same scale. BUT, sometimes it frustrates her that we spend so much money on dolls. So we have a new solution we're trying out. Make sure that in your budget (if you can afford it) is fun money for both of you. That way you can do what you want with yours, and they can do the same with theirs. No harassing each other about what you buy! It's fun money, after all. You have to let them do what they want, too. ;D

 

My boyfriend is totally okay with my doll and my growing hobby! He does worry about the price for the dolls I want, but he's always willing to hold my doll when he needs to, or find ways to make jewelry or clothes for her (he helps me with accessory making)~ He gets pretty involved when choosing things for my doll, he even took about ten minutes just to find my Renae (a Volks F-06) a wig that would go with her faceup~ He got worried over her previous wig falling off her head while I drove once, screaming "I'M SORRY I DROPPED YOUR WIG! I'm sorry I made you a cancer patient! " He's very supportive and he's helped me get things for my doll.

 

My Husband is great about it, he even bought me a Souldoll Zenth as a gift once. Just so long as all bills are paid and we can eat out and he can have spending money, he is happy for me.

 

I've been into BJDs for years, but only got to adopt my first doll recently. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year now, and he's very accepting of my hobbies. He doesn't find my BJDs creepy, and actually likes tinkering with them every now and then. As long as I don't drown myself in debt for any of my hobbies, he really doesn't mind. :P

 

My boyfriend is generally really good about my dolls. He's respectful, will occasionally interact with them (petting my Chise on the head for example and calling her Miss Cleopatra, haha), and basically lets me do my own thing. While he's definitely not interested in purchasing his own and doesn't really understand my interest in them, he's still supportive.

 

Flying Code Monkey (Mr. Brightfires-) is, in general, a pretty supportive guy. He's willing to keep an open mind about just about anything I want to do. We've always been that way about each other's interests... Even if it wasn't something we were into ourselves. He doesn't really "get" the whole doll thing, but says if it makes me happy that's good enough.

And yeah... He does play around with my crew sometimes.

 

MY Boyfriend and I have been together for a few months now. I don't talk about my dolls around him often because he just dosn't get it. I don't think he dislikes them, and he says if like them thats really cool, but he dosn't, and honestly thats ok with me. I don't understand all of his hobbys, so why should he have to get mine?

 

My Mr. Moo is less than thrilled with the dolls, he often tells me that my SD boy is a girl and that he'd like to make legos out of them. And yet he comes up with some of the best ideas for things I can make for them. So he tolerates my dolls as much as I tolerate his cheesy horror flicks. :3
