Your partner and your BJD...

Mine says it's weird and how I could buy so many other things with the money but he doesn't really care much either way.

 

My boyfriend of three years is a bit...reckless with money, and he knows that i always feel guilty if I buy something for myself so he actively supports me spending that much money, when I finally talk myself into it lol!
It's really sweet of him, when he comes home and catches me with all my dollies out he says "hello kids"!

 

I've been with my girlfriend for a little over a year and, while she's not hugely into dolls, I think she enjoys my hobby. She's a huge A Song Of Ice And Fire fan who watches Game of Thrones obsessively, though--so when the SOOM Agate came out, she got pretty into it, I think. We joke about what we'll do when we're trillionaires one day, and she's perfectly cool with my dolls being part of the household.

 

My boyfriend collects Lego. 'Nuff said. (He also keeps nagging me to make a Klingon doll after I modded a floating head as Bajoran, so even though he doesn't know it yet, he will end up with a doll of his own - or at least a doll head of his own - at some point. )

 

my partner collects warhammer figures, so he doesn't mind about dolls, as I do have a practical use for one he helped me buy my first

 

My boyfriend isn't too fond of my recent acquisition of dolls and me blabbering about them (I have no one else to talk to!) but he's respectful enough about them. When I first told him I wanted to get some dolls his first question, of course, was "Can you make money from them?". Damnit... can't I have a hobby or interest without everyone asking me how/if/when I can make money from it? Geeeeeez >.< Is this a thing? Somebody can't have a hobby unless it can make them money? GRRRR.

*edit* Almost forgot... if I were single and had a potential partner, s/he would have to be at least fine with my dolls. I'm not ever going to force my hobby on them, and they're not allowed to make fun of, judge, hate or, etc me or my dolls. They don't have to love them, just respect them.

 

Seeing as I only have one doll atm and she has... two dolls, one head and one body, I think she is supporting me It might be even so, that I am the one who has to kind of keep her back (not really, she has a good head on her shoulders))

 

My partner Landrew is all in! He just got his first doll and has another on layaway.

 

My girlfriend wasn't very excited about the idea at first. She thought the expense was insane. I tried to sell it as an art thing since she's familiar with the photographs of Hans Bellmer. Over time she became more accepting. This last school I was really busy and hadn't played with Celine for months and took her out one day. When my girlfried saw her she was saying "You see how men are Celine? During the honeymoon period they're always around and paying attention to you all the time then they get bored and go back to everything else!" Then she started whispering conspiratorally to Celine and laughing at me. Turning my doll against me!


Recently I went to a fashion exhibit at the local museum with my girlfriend and she said that she should sew something like one of these for Celine since she would look great in one. So we're planning. Since my girlfriend likes fashion and sewing I think she's starting to get interested from that point of view.

 

I think my boyfriend is just sort of indifferent about it lol. He doesn't hate them, but he's not necessarily into them. He supports the fact that it's a hobby of mine and that I love it, but he doesn't really get involved when it comes to playing with them or anything. :P

 

My boyfriend is pretty supportive of my collection. He even likes to help me make clothes, just wishes I had a girl cause he wants to make girlier clothes (although my most recent boy has no problem wearing a dress if it's pretty). He's even picked out a doll he would like but he doesn't know if he would spend that much money on a doll for himself. But he'll still spoil me if he has money and help me get wigs and clothes and anything else my dolls desire

 

If I ever start dating, hopefully the other person would at least tolerate the hobby and understand that it's a lot of work customizing your own doll. If I could find someone that ws into the hobby already, or was interested, that would be perfect.

 

My husband isn't fond of the hobby.. I'm still waiting on my first doll to come home, and he is already sick of hearing about her. He thinks that most of the dolls are ugly or scary, and he thinks that my desire to turn an RP character into a doll is dumb. He humored me at first when I asked him questions about different sculpts and accessories, trying to find the best combo to create Liz. I wanted the doll to match the version of Liz that we both had in our heads, and when he realized the questions weren't going to stop with the one doll, he started tuning me out and refusing to answer. He doesn't tell me to abandon the hobby since he collects Transformers (and video games), but he has made it perfectly clear that he wants nothing to do with it. I am hoping that when I get Liz home and he sees her around for a while, maybe he will change his mind about it all.

 

my girlfriend is actually very supportive and want her own dolls!

 

I don't have boyfriend, but if I do get one I hope he'll accept it. If he liked it then I'd be happy, but if not then "oh well" I suppose.

 

My hubby likes them as they are something I love, he is not overly fond of dolls, finds bjd creepy, and gives me strange looks when I get 'body parts' in the mail. But I deal with his golf hobby!

 

Mine doesn't say much, he just supports me and the hobby because he knows it makes me happy. That's how it should be.

 

My husband doesn't like my dolls, but he loves me. He doesn't like when they are naked, and he asks me to sew dresses for them. Sometimes he gives an advice how to do better or improve their images.


I have a doll that lies in a box. I'm ready to sell her. But my husband is against this. The doll is not expensive, she doesn't ask to eat. May be I suddenly change my mind about her.

 

My last/ex boyfriend didn't mind them much; needless to say I'm not about to quit any hobbies for anyone nor put my dolls away just because he doesn't want to see them. Not put them in his face sure, that much I can do, but hide them away in boxes or heaven forbid sell them? I'd rather change the boyfriend than be with someone that can't respect my hobbies as much as I respect theirs.

 

my husband has become very supportive lately. he was never against it. when we first started dating i showed him pictures and he has known i have wanted them for years, and we can finally afford them. he was supportive in the way that he doesnt understand it but it makes me happy so he listens to me talk and pretends to be interested. we have many separate hobbies, so it isnt new for him to see me into something he has zero interest in. last week he took the baby and i out, and i brought my doll and took pictures and he gave me some tips and advice, and even asked to see them after. he drove out of his way to take me somewhere with a nice background. he majored in film making, so taking photos is his niche. he also loved miniatures when he was younger and is starting to appreciate the little foods and things i make for the hobby. he may never love dolls like i do, but i think he understand some of the aspects and MIGHT be willing to help me figure out my camera and make little furniture.
