Let's talk about our awesome significant others!
My husband, right now, left work early to check every.store.in.the.area for Venus McFlytrap. He didn't have to do this. When I spazzed over how Venus released sooner than excepted and I couldn't find her anywhere under the $50+ people are selling her for online, he asked if I wanted to go out and search when he got home from work. I said no, you had things planned today I wont waste your time, I'll look another day. Instead he finished up at work mad early and is hunting through the stores and calling me over some interesting dolls he thought I might also like.
Is there a Best Husband pageant? Cause he should win that. Fantastic timing as our wedding anni. is tomorrow.<3

Congrats!! ^^
Awesome topic idea. When I wanted to buy my first resin BJD in November as I was finally expecting a normal paycheck - I've been having paycheck problems for MONTHS, not getting paid enough every single month - and I was disappointed once again, he offered to buy me my first resin girl, even though he's a fulltime student with only a few euros to spare. She's still my favourite... My AE Blueberry girl named Anne <3
Also, he's growing more and more accepting of my hobby. He really had to get used to it but I can ask him for advice about wigs, eyes and faceups now and he'll actually care enough to give me an honest answer ^^
Me loves him <3
-edit- Oh, and when I returned home from my first doll owner's meet last Saturday, he asked me if I'd like to have a doll meet at our place. He said he'd gladly host a meet and serve homemade snacks ^^

If it wasn't for my hubby I wouldn't even be in this Hubby. He got interested in Cy-girl several years ago and I started to like them, but I really wanted something not so muscular. That's how I found obitsus. Now my hubby checks stores almost everyday for any dolls I need. He even helps me track down dolly news when I can't. I'm one lucky girl.

My awesome husband not only buys me dolls, but tries to talk me INTO buying more!

Hubs actually brought home the Skull Shores B&W Frankie because he thought she looked cool. Joked about putting her on his desk at work.

In that case... my boyfriend's father may be even more awesome. He *really* likes my hobby. He once helped me get the money to buy a few vintage Pamela Love dolls that I wanted, plus he loves when I pose my dolls in their garden to do photoshoots. He keeps asking for his share for when I start making money with my pictures, even though I have told him a hundred times that I am not counting on making any money, just losing it XD
Oh, and since I met my boyfriend's uncle's wife's mother (you followin? lol) last weekend, I have someone cool to talk to about dollhouses and miniatures and stuff ^^. She'd never heard of BJDs but she loved the pics I showed her

The same here as KitKat. My hubby got me into 1/6th scale. It was just a short jump into BJD, and now I'm wanting both more Obitsus and that adorable Resinsoul Pixiu dragon. Though that will be a while, because both of us now want a bunch of Monster High dolls to custom! He surprised me by getting me the Cleo I've been wanting, and today when we went out he got a Dead Tired Ghoulia to custom for himself! He paints everything for me.
My mom doesn't really "get" my dolls and figures, but she likes them and even helped with my first photo shoot.

My husband is so understanding about my hobby. He was actually on the verge of buying my grail doll for last Christmas, but my logical side prevailed. Now he feels bad because it was a LE and is no longer available.
He's bent over backwards trying to help my with my pukisha magnet problem. And he doesn't mind that my dolls are currently residing on two of his bookcase shelves!
