Your partner and your BJD...

my husband hates them. and thinks they are a waste of money.

 

I got my doll after dating my boyfriend for only a few months. He is already really supportive so he was just excited I was excited. He thinks it's a little weird but he wants to support me and get me doll clothes for gifts. Sometimes I feel like he's bored when I talk about my doll but I get bored on some topics he talks about. I think it's good for people in relationships to have different interests.

 

Well i dont have a current partner, but my ex was the one who got me into dolls

 

Well... he tries to be as respectful as he can but sometimes he's a bit mean towards my dolls because thinks they're scary, I don't really care though

 

My first partner just kind of ignored them, my second partner really liked them and made clothes for them. I don't think it's too important for a partner to like my dolls but it's nice if they take an interest in my interests.

 

My boyfriend (of almost two years) is so accepting of me being part of this hobby. He likes how I can be into something that is 'different' and he doesn't mind the price. I mean there is worse I could be spending my money on right? He listens to me when I go on little rants about dollies I want and what I want to name them. He is actually going to be buying me my Minifee Chloe soon (: and with him buying her for me I wanted him to name her as well (: He also likes me being in the hobb because it relaxes me to look at dollie things and to make dollie plans. (:

 

My boyfriend (nearly a year but close friends before that) doesn't really care! he's a drummer and he can spend an absolute bomb on one drumming piece at a time so he's in no position to lecture me about money spending for one thing, but also I think he appreciates the artistic element of them and knows I'm an arty sort of person so I think he sees why I love them. Anyway long story short he's buying me a bella head for christmas, hopefully, lol

 

My boo enjoys our plushies more than my dolls. But he still is interested in what I do like meet ups and cloths and what new mod I do. But again, they hold no candle to the plushie family. They get allot more attention. Like seriously, they have more personalities and history. But, I'm happy

 

My girlfriend is very supportive, she's the one who got me into dolls! I guess I can say that I'm also supportive of her, lol.

 

My fiancee and I just got our first BJDs together (two zuzu delfs), and while we were waiting for them to arrive, we chatted together about what they were going to wear, what accessories we could make for them etc., so yeah, she's into it just as much as I am! The only problem is, she prefers the anthro dolls, and I'd love to eventually get a few of the larger-sized human dolls to turn into our OCs - so I showed her Iplehouse's Claude (who is 100% on my wishlist), and I think I may have changed her mind ;3 she keeps mentioning how much like her OC he is.

 

Hello

I been collecting dolls since i was a teenager. Yet i didnt start collecting BJD till less than 6 months ago. I been married for a year and half now and my partner does not mind my dolls, more like he is interested oh how they work and such. Even thought he does not play ( pose or take pics ) of them with me , he does not mind them being in the room possing in the shelves. Sometimes he even helps me pic sculps or gives me ideas on how to pose them and feedback about the faceups i give them

A funny fact about when i started collecting dolls is that i showed him a Switch Shiho mold and said it was cute and for a moment he tought i was talking about a person. Then when he took a second look he noticed i was talking about a doll and we started laugthing like crazy.

I honestly believe that this hobby is one that you can share with your love ones and what not, and even if for a moment they find it weird, is probably cause they dont really know what its about. I mean its supper fun creating your own doll and giving it life in a way that no two dolls are exactly the same

 

My boyfriend doesn't really care! One time he has appreciated a Leeke Sunny body A. He is thinking I'm spending too much time and money for this Hobby.

 

I got together with my ex after a few weeks since I first got my first BJD which is not too long ago. I was totally open about this hobby~ I like to talk about them to my very close friends, turns out that most of them were fascinated by BJDs and how 'real' can they be, none of them was creeped out by them. I feel blessed~ Because I have been writing stories for half of my life now and to have my characters physically is just mind blowing, I started to write when I was in primary school
But sadly my ex wasn't even fond of them and gets really jealous if I fiddle with them when we were on the phone or Skype >:/ I can't just sit like a statue and talk LOL it's just not comfortable for me, at least. It got to the point where he asked me to throw Chace (My current only and first dollie) away. He doesn't get the price either and always sneered at them saying how he could get more important stuffs with those money. In the end we broke up but not because of my BJD hobby, there was other issues as well.

I just hope that my future partner can be more accepting I really really love this hobby, it had helped me in so many different ways that I couldn't even imagine they could so I'm not planning to give this hobby up anytime soon.

 

My boyfriend doesn't like them, each photo I show him it's like, "meh..." I got one doll underway, and he doesn't know it yet, though I dropped enough clues about it. He also thinks it's to expencive for something you use only a few times, but I'm planning on going out and take pictures together with my aunt as she also has a doll

 

this is awesome~

i tend to hide things with people i had relationship with, maybe because i am not ready to be comfortable and show my vulnerability. I had only shown them to two. My ex-girlfriend accepted them, liked them a lot and constantly buys stuff for them, like tiny books and pencils. She had them for sleepover and such, photographed them, role-played and etc. She was very included in my hobby. My husband accepts them, sometimes spend time with me as I play with them and get my way (lol), very supportive, in decision as well, whether i should get that one because its oh so beautiful, oh lets think about it. When it comes to dolls I am irresponsible, like some women in the mall. he may not be as involved as my ex-g was, but i am very comfortable and he has bought me dolls and also given them as gifts to me.

 

I though I'm so lucky,because I got my husband into my hobby. We can talk about dolls and buy them together. When I'm making cloth for my dolls, I always counted on his advice.

 

I'm in a long-distance relationship, so my partner can't see a lot of my boy, but we do talk about dolls together and she thinks they're cute. She's into porcelain dolls, though, while I'm here with my resin boy aaaaah

 

My partner definitely gulps about the pricing on these dolls, but he is a process junky (and he tells me, his own video game collection gets expensive in a different way so it evens out)! So when I explain the process of doll craft and the size of these companies, he actually gets pretty geeked out about it. He loves artistry and craftsmanship. He is also genuinely impressed at how different styling will turn the same doll into totally different people (but he's a film guy and relates it to acting for sure). He actually wants to try some macro photography with me dolls because he is the one really into photos (even old cameras). Plus, he loves how silly and excited I get over the dolls. He'd not quite seen that side of me until I discovered the hobby last year. I don't think he'll ever help me buy a doll, but maybe I'm wrong. He already calls them by their names ... Hehe.

 

I got my girlfriend of almost 2 years into this hobby. ^^ So she's fine with this, and we do doll-related stuff together quite often.

 

Well, at the moment there is no special other in my live, but when the right person comes, s/he will get an odball with enough strangeness in her, belive me when I tell you, the dolls will be the last thing s/he'll have a problem with. And if there is a problem... well the dolls were fisrt.
