Your partner and your BJD...

I have to say, my GF is amazing.
I buy so many crazy things over the internet and she never complains.
There's always a few deliveries every week. The fedex guy even gave me a birthday card.
When I'm particularly excited about something she even offers to spend the day at my house to sign for it.
She knew I wanted to collect some bjds and her only request was for me to get her one too.

 

She was the one who got me into it, and gave me my first doll.

To be honest, she's had a lot of issues with her ex's in the past, and struggles to get into dolls because of how she and the dolls were treated, so we're working on it together, to get back into the hobby and love the dolls again.

 

I hear that... er well girlfriend...
As it shocked no one, it seems dolls aren't the best thing for attracting a mate lol (when your a man)
who knew? lol

 

My guy teases me about it by calling them creepy every so often or forgetting their names ("whatsherface") but when he's being serious he appreciates the sculpt and faceups quite a bit. He definitely likes my Latea the most out of the dolls I own though - nags me about getting them proper clothing every so often. His only problem with anything I own is the amount of space it takes up - doesn't like clutter and would rather I get rid of all the physical stuff I own. xD But that's more an issue of where I'm living rather than disliking any of my hobbies. It's really nice to have a partner who's generally supportive and also works in the same field with similar disciplines (both visual artists, both in games).

 

Well you seem hella cool to me! I get you though, my Victorian death chamber (ie my room) is enough to send any guy running due to my antique medical instruments, poison bottles, mortician's supplies, coffin plaques and endless shelves of porcelain dolls. I figure the right person will put up with it *shrugs*

I'm with my husband for 9 years now,I have dolls since 2006 and he doesn't really like them but also has no problems with then. Oke,he has when I'm spending too much money but I learned to control myself after some years.

 

Me and my girlfriend together for 3 years. We both love dolls and other collectibles. So, we have no problems with hobby =) We make face-ups, outfits, wigs together and sometimes it like:
Me: Hey, dear, we can buy a new dress for you. Or a new doll
She: NEW DOLL!
XDD it will be strange family oneday...

 

that sounds like the coolest thing ever!

 

My boyfriend of 3 years saw me looking at pics of dolls and so I told him what I was up to. At first he was put-off by the price, but what put him really over the edge was seeing the example faces in the a-la-carte section of the Minifees. No make-up or eyes kinda really creeped him out. Ever since he groans when he sees me scouting and scheming on the internet, but he knows it's inevitable and knows he'll have to put up with it. He's admitted it'll take some effort on his part, but he's willing to be supportive.
Plus it means he'll likely get his DSLR camera faster, since I'll have even more reasons to invest in it :P

 

My husband and me we talk a lot about everything. So I came up with the theme BJD a year ago. He just called me crazy to want such a expensive doll, I didn't say it actually seriously because for me the doll was expensive as well and actually the theme was over for me but it never left me somehow. I came this year again with the theme and we talked about it actually 2 days long. he wanted to understand me, to know why I want such a expensive doll. He also made the option I should look for a cheaper one. So I did but the more I searched the more I just wanted the one doll. we talked again about the money and the future of the doll after he could understand me, he agreed and he will try to support me, he want to make furniture for it, help me with the pictures and so on..

 

My Husbands is super sweet about my dolls . Sometimes he even plays with them!

 

I've been in the hobby for a few years now and been through with different partners along the time. Most of them were just accepting, but not supportive.
Right now, I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 2 years, and he is the best. Not only is accepting, but supportive and considering on getting a doll himself. The first time I've told him about the dolls, he saw that this is something important to me, this is where I get creative and it makes me happy. And he wants to see me happy and over time got 'in to' the hobby because of me. He will never joint the community but I can imagine him having a doll of two
Not to mention that he's a crafty man and makes all kind of stuff for my dolls, and the cutest thing int he world: he greets them when he gets home and see them sitting around.

 

My girlfriend loves BJD and fully supports me =)
She also has a doll.
We do everything together - play with bid, trying to do a photo shoot, glue, restringing and care.
I consider myself very lucky in this respect =)

 

My husband is a little creeped out by my Monster High dolls, and just rolled his eyes when I gave him a heads up about the incoming 1/4. I don't really get why anyone's SO is griping about the price, unless it's edging into joint expenses. Even before I was making good money, he'd never comment on what I chose to spend my money on. I'm sure if I was struggling to pay rent or blew an entire month's salary he'd have been concerned, but what I do with my excess income doesn't bother him.

 

My boyfriend thinks my doll is cute, and he has taken part in conversations about her, and her future dolly friends. But he is really not happy about the price of everything in the BJD hobby. But he is going to spend all his savings on a gun so whenever he complains about the prices I just throw the gun thing back at him and we just agree to disagree.

 

My boyfriend has his own dolls, and although he's shy about it among non doll people, he has no trouble helping me pose and photograph my crew in public (I have photo evidence and everything XD one of the pictures is in one of my gallery posts)

My SO has a personal vendetta against dolls and finds mine super creepy, but he doesn't say anything about them other than that. He's actually really sweet about the whole thing. He asks me about their characters and stories and the drawings I do of them, but he just doesn't like the whole "doll" part of the process. He doesn't know about the price tag, though. No need for him to.

 

We kinda share our dolls (although he likes to proclaim a particular one as his own).
Occasionally got into click wars, events and join doll outings together.
Lets just say we obsess about it together

 

I just got my GF into BJD's ^^ She had a childhood friend who exposed her to them, first but she never thought she could afford the hobby so she tossed the notion aside. Now she bought her first doll from April Story and I'm showing her face-up tutorials, clothing stuff....she even does her own research for her upcoming doll and is really excited. We already share other doll collections so it's awesome that she loves BJD's like me. We'd love to go to cons and stuff together sometime.

 

My bf is mostly neutral or supportive about my doll hobby, but sometimes he likes to comment about the cost... Then I gently remind him of his hobbies, for example how he just paid 3500€ for his Porsche's maintenance... :P
