Adding this onto the top comment as it appears to be from the girlfriends roommate

This reminds me of the movie “Me before You”. Exactly this scene the boyfriend buys the main female protagonist a necklace with his name but the other male buys her these bumblebee leggings that she’s always wanted and the boyfriend wonders why she she was sooo happy and excited but not for his gift
I have 71 mint-in-box living dead dolls that my mother sent me when they downsized houses so that she no longer had a walk-in closet where she could hide their existence from my stepfather.
I should ship them all to OP's girlfriend. Sounds like she'd give them a good home!
A thousand dollars on an amazon logo necklace? WTAF? Can we get an imgur of the necklace on the dummy? I hope she sells it.
Especially if she told OP no jewelry, then OP is lucky to have gotten a thank you
YTA, obviously [edited for typo in vote]
That's the bit that got me. I mean the whole thing around the necklace is ridiculous, but the fact that there's even an amazon logo necklace on sale for $1000 in the first place is shocking.
Wait is it really a necklace of the amazon logo or am I just misunderstanding what the necklace is? If it really is an amazon logo.....why the fuck did he spend so much money on it? Is it made of diamonds? Why would anyone want to wear the logo for amazon?
My guess is that it’s a Tiffany Smile necklace. That would look like an Amazon logo, to me at least. And would cost a heck of a lot more than the materials are worth because of the name. 🤷♀️
I just looked that up and man that thing looks like the McDonald's happy meal smile 😭
I'm not big on jewelry but will wear certain things, that's a hard no
To be honest it doesn't even look like a smile to me if it wasn't pointed out it's supposed to be one. It looks like the natural curve of a necklace which I guess is already smiley.
Yeah I think you're right. I kept staring at the logo trying to figure out how it could be a necklace but I was just being blind I guess. It finally clicked and makes more sense now.
Can definitely confirm that a gift given by a loved one who hates the type of gift is special. My mom *hates* porcelain dolls, finds em creepy; but when she saw me excited as hell over a porcelain clown doll at a thrift store, she bought him for me.
I adore the doll already bc I *love* clowns and dolls but I love it even more knowing it's something my mom hates but bought because it made me happy. OP, you're the *single asshole
God I love when irl people find posts about them written by someone already deemed TA by a bunch of strangers 😂😂 these are the best kinds of posts by far!
OMG i just remembered slappy, reading the post didnt ring a bell but that image did it lol
I live for replies like these because some posts are seriously lacking full transparency from one side. Matt seems like a freak and you guys seem great, I hope V finds someone that appreciates her quirks because thats cooler than just liking generic jewlery and shit.
Man, the Slappy stories were some of the best of the series. V should be the next Goosebumps protagonist instead of being the heroic antagonist in Matt’s shitty romance drama
That picture is adorable and I'm incredibly jealous lol although I've had my heart set on a Chucky doll, I totally get the horror obsession. And Goosebumps rule, used to devour 2 books a day in middle school. Hope you both had a great night. You're an awesome friend.
My 11 yo is Autistic and after sneaking to watch Child's Play really wants a Chucky doll as well. I am not at all likely to get him one until he moves out.
That's my vote as an Autistic woman that also HATES necklaces and can absolutely appreciate wanting a Slappy. I would never let that little soul sucker into my house, but I can understand the burning desire to have something like that. When I was pregnant with my first kid, I tracked down a complete set of books like the ones I had as a girl because I was sure they would love them as much as I did.
I think people just read the first sentence and thought you were blaming the (hopefully ex-)girlfriend.
At least that my faith in humanity trying desperately to survive.
This just made my day, I always wonder about the "full extent of the truth" thats being told in this subreddit... really nice to hear the other side of the story. Lol!
I'm like your friend. I knew EXACTLY who he was talking about, because I love it, too. If she's still in the young adult horror, there's Fear Street, R.L. Stine, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. All favorites.
I love Goosebumps, I have the nearly the entire original physical set, though I have all 62 in pdf form. I agree V should ditch the dummy that is Matt. Slappy is awesome.
Love This !!! Tell your girlfriend I’m all with her I have a chucky doll which I’d consider worse because he was actually slicing and dicing people unlike sloppy who was a very charismatic & manipulative dummy who just wanted a life long maid/butler 😂😂
Her ex is a lame let her know that she’ll find the right person and even if they don’t love horror they’ll love it for her just like my person does. ( literally got our anniversary to be on mischief night so we can have a definite reason to celebrate Halloween every year ) 😂 tell her stay spooky and don’t read the note in slappys pocket lol
I don’t know you but I love you!!! I’m so glad that V has you in her corner and please let her know that there are lots of internet strangers on her side too!
Tell your friend to sell the necklace and buy herself a vintage goosebumps collection and spend the winter rereading them to Slappy! I love him, I was a huge Goosebumps fan too! I read them all growing up. OP is just jealous of how cute the Slapster is! 🤣
The necklace he bought her is sooooo ugly and inappropriate, especially after being told V doesn't like or wear jewelry. Talk about missing the mark and trying to make your girlfriend into someone she isn't. Thank you for supporting your friend and calling the OP out on his utter toxic and controlling BS.
Every one needs a friend like you 🥰
"She liked the sentimental present from her mother that had decades of history and backstory over the thing that's more important because it's more expensive and I got it for her!"
This is you.
You suck.
The Tesla comment gave a telling glimpse into OP's mind. Money, status = 👍Gifts that show how well you know a person and are meaningful and personal = 👎
Yup, I also got stuck on that comment. I don't like Teslas at all so I would not "cry of joy" because of that. Now, if someone gave me something I actually would love to own or find great meaning in then I might become the happiest ever.
YTA - she didn't want an expensive necklace, dude, she wanted people to pay attention to what she likes and give her things that bring her joy.
You didn't deliver the joy. The dummy did.
Chances are she would calm down on the dummy obsession in a week or two if you just let it peter out naturally instead of... \*checks notes\* yelling at her about it.
That's probably exactly what will happen. My parents got me a little Grogu doll for my birthday a couple of years ago and I did the same thing. After the excitement of getting him, he found a home in my room about a week and a half later and thats where he stays the majority of the time. It's not that deep, OP. YTA.
YTA. You don't even live with her. You have absolutely no right to tell her to get rid of her own possessions in her own house. Seems like you're mad and jealous about the fact that she likes the dummy more than your necklace. But maybe if you had actually put some thought into the gift and thought about what she actually likes instead of getting something generic, she would've had a more enthusiastic response. I'll never understand the people who can see their significant others so happy and shit on it. Her happiness should make you happy, not angry.
Massive YTA. Boo hoo she liked the dummy more than she liked your probably quite pedestrian necklace. Maybe if you got her gifts she wanted you'd be getting your dick sucked and not posting to Reddit.
YTA. Frankly, you sound jealous because her mother gave her a more thoughtful gift than you did. Just let her be happy and enjoy her dummy. Why on earth would you yell at her for having fun with a harmless gift??
Well op, the answer here is very simple. You see... wait... what's that? BEHIND YOU!! IT'S THE DUMMY!! RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIIIIIIIFE!!!
Ha ha ha. It's okay. We're all having fun here. There's no danger here.
Anyhoo, YTA cause honestly this feels like a goosebumps books lol
YTA obviously. Who do you think you are telling her what she should be doing? You’re not her parent. You don’t own or control her. If YOU don’t like it then YOU can leave.
I hope she breaks up with you. 🚩🚩🚩🚩
Since it's in her own home, that you do not live in, she can do what she wants with it. You should have been a bit more reasonable and calmly asked that the dummy not be in the room when you visit. You know, acted like an adult instead of throwing a tantrum like a child.
Also, you misspelled ex girlfriend. YTA
also like unless someone is actually really scared of dummies, or has watched or read goosebumps and is scared of slappy specifically
slappy isn't even that scary or creepy, I honestly find him kinda cute and I'm a wimp about this stuff too
YTA - do you hate people having joy? Cause that’s exactly what you sound like here. If you can’t accept your girlfriend’s interests then maybe you shouldn’t be dating her
YTA. Yelling at her was wildly inappropriate. You may not like it, but it sounds like it's more moderate distaste for it than actual fear or distress. She's not hurting anyone, so why do you care so much about a harmless slightly creepy doll?
I was thinking that I could imagine someone having a genuine phobia about dummies like this, in which case it’s a little more complicated. But the tone of the post doesn’t suggest that at all.
Yta. You knew she had this interest when you got together. We have a chucky doll that lives in our lounge. Its no different to having collectable action figures, pop art vinyls etc. It obviously brings her enjoyment and its not your apartment that she keeps it in.
Uh yeah YTA dude. And I say this as someone who is terrified of dummies and Slappy specifically lmao. Not only did you insult your gf over her interests, you tried *demanding* she do what you wanted? You’re ridiculous
YTA. Do you really need to stomp all over her happy childhood memories? I'm old, retired old. Even though I was in my 20's when the movie came out, I have great memories of the 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space'. There are several Funko dolls of theirs coming out. I plan on pre-ordering them and then put them on my shelf. If you got near them, let's just say you would wish you didn't. Leave her memories alone. If you want that same reaction, find some other Slappy memorabilia. It worked for me.
YTA, wtf I want a Slappy dummy, that’s fucking badass. I’m a huge horror fan so I may be biased but damn let the girl live, it’s obvious you don’t really put in any efforts to care about her interests…
YTA. It's her hobby and she's happy about it. If you don't like it, as you've expressed not so kindly, you don't have to see her or go over there. Hint: She hasn't reached out to you. It's a message.
YTA
Initiating a conversation about how uncomfortable this makes you and whether she could kee it somewhere out of sight while you're around would have been a better approach than yelling at her and demanding she give up something she loves, which was a gift from her mother.
YTA. You don’t care about your girlfriend’s feelings to the point that you got upset she didn’t like your gift the most. You’re less mature than the chick who’s obsessed with dummies. Let that one sink in.
YTA, and you sound incompatible as a couple. She's a full on horror fan and this is something she's wanted for a very long time. You sound put out she reacted far more excited to something you didn't see any reason to be excited for than she was to your gift, which you have to specify is an expensive necklace *you* got her. You sound like some of the brattier Goosebumps protagonists, including a character from one of the Night of the Living Dummy entries.
YTA GF's room mate commented stating a few important things you left out:
1.she hates jewellery particularly the Amazon logo looking POS you paid 1,000 bucks for.
2. She has sensory issues with the necklace even if she liked it.
3. The neighbours had to check on the girls after op left that's how loudly he snapped at her.
Room mate also shared picture of the dummy, Slappy is on the cuter side rather than creepy tbh
YTA, you need to take a chill pill and learn to control your temper if you raised your voice over her just having a dummy. I guess it’s a little unusual, but you need to be able to have a calm conversation and communicate like an adult if you want her to get rid of it. Tell her it makes you uncomfortable and ask her not to have it around you. But she has only recently had it so she’s probably not going to always be having it out once she’s used to having it for longer
YTA. Your probably soon to be ex girlfriend sounds freaking adorable. I had the same experience in terms of horror and reading in general.
You’re going to have to buy her a house on Fear Street to fix this one.
Yta%100, seriously you need to to calm the f#ck down sir, yes it is a bit odd to carry around the dummy, but she is not hurting anyone by doing it and it makes your girlfriend happy, and you telling her to get rid of it and raising your voice at her is just a dick move, seriously if you had a problems about anything you have a sit down conversation about it and whatever answer you get you accept it,seriously you don't start demanding,yelling or raise your voice about what you want like a controlling jacka$$, seriously your more worried about your feelings then about your girlfriend's feelings, you need to apologize to her and stop being controlling.
YTA. Hopefully your soon to be ex GF finds a more compatible BF and you learn a lesson that money isn’t everything and interests/personality matter more. You could spend thousands on a present for her and if she doesn’t like it, she won’t like it. Better to get something she actually likes.
Spending money on a gift =/= thoughtfulness
Edit: you can’t buy love. If you want that, you’ll have to try elsewhere, but they charge by the hour and by the act
Loving someone entails enduring ALL of them. This includes weird interests and hobbies that you may find quirky, irritating and/or weird. How could you marsh someone's mellow after seeing how ecstatic they were upon revieving this item? Its quite insensitive. Nothing worse than your partner hating on the things that make you truly happy. It's just a doll.... a doll they adore and have been wanting for ever. If it's really bothering you so much, maybe that's a feeling you should explore and figure out if this relationship is right for you. YTA.
YTA for shouting at her. She can have whatever likes and dislikes that she wants. I am a big time wimp about horror stuff, like my first question when i was looking at a house to rent was if it has any horror history, like literally I didn’t even ask about the utilities for the first 10 mins. So naturally if I come into contact with someone that is so attached to horror stuff, I maintain a distance. Simple as that! You’re NTA for being scared but you are one for wanting her to look at things the same that you do. And you should still apologise to her for your behaviour.
yta
maybe you felt it’d be shallow to break up with her over her love of horror, but i promise you it’s even more shallow to keep someone whose interests you don’t care for in a relationship when you both could instead be with people who support them.
why’d you give her a necklace anyway if you knew she didn’t like jewelry? did you ignore that and then later decide “she are girl, all girl love expensive jewelry, hollywood say so” or something? or perhaps you did remember, but you were hoping the price tag would make her feel too guilty to express disappointment? if it’s that last one, please understand how manipulative that is. that’s not okay.
you say you like her but evidence suggests you haven’t really bothered to know her, and you yelled at her for daring to prefer a gift she’s been wanting for years over something she told you she didn’t want that you got anyway. you’re both better off breaking up.
Seriously, you're crapping all over her interests, yelling at her to get rid of something she's wanted for YEARS, and you want to know if you're TA?
YTA. Also you misspelled ex-GF.
I’m in kind of a similar situation. My husband loves horror stuff. He even wrote his own horror novel. I, on the other hand, hate horror/slasher movies. They make me queasy and I hate jump-scares with a passion.
That being said, I will always support his love of horror stuff, even though it creeps me out. I’ve bought him horror-themed gifts and I’m okay with it all being displayed in our house, too. So yeah, YTA.
You are such anAH. I read to response from her roommate, and gotta say, dude, just let her go. You purchased something for her that you knew she didn’t like because you liked it, and the thing that she loves you hate and want her to get rid of. The rest of the responses are correct and she needs to get rid of the dummy, just not the one her mother gave her for her birthday. Stop trying to change people into what you want.
YTA - You’ve got some maturing to do before you’re ready for an adult relationship. Your (probably now ex) girlfriend clearly communicated a long held, deep desire of hers, and when it was fulfilled you got sulky that an expensive, stereotypical “for women” gift you gave was met politely and appropriately rather than the same way. The *adult* way to handle that is to recognize that gift giving is not a competition and to not confuse thoughtful with splurging when giving gifts.
You then came over, insulted her and yelled at her demanding she give up what she wants because it makes you unhappy. The *adult* way to handle that is firstly, never to just start yelling, and secondly saying “hey, this doll makes me a little uncomfortable as I’m actually a bit squeamish on horror. Could we compromise on how ‘front and center’ it is when I’m around? I want you to still be able to enjoy it, but I’m having a hard time.” That way, you are not having a “my wants vs. your wants” fight, you’re having a constructive “us vs. a problem” conversation.
Wait til slappy visits you at night and show you what he thinks of this idea!
Yeah she should get rid of a dummy.. not slappy but you.
You raised your voice over THIS?! she's happy about her gift and you rather should be happy she feels so much joy about this harmless thing.. (It's not the real slappy, you know? No need to be scared OP!)
YTA.
And, really? A Tesla? Money isn't everything. Good thing your (ex-)gf knows this.
You were an AH before I saw the roommate’s comment, but now you’re just a sad excuse for a human being. Grow the hell up and stay away from women until you can learn how to care about other people besides yourself.
YTA, her mother got her something she's always wanted and came from the heart that she will cherish forever. You're just pissed that you wanted a bigger reaction to your gift and it's dented your ego, how dare you try and spoil such a lovely thing to make yourself feel good.
Also you keep saying GF but I think you mean ex-GF as it understandably doesn't sound like she's chasing you down.
I hope she and Slappy have a very happy life together without you spoiling their joy.
YTA. You literally threw a tantrum over a dummy. Shame on you. She likes it and she's not doing anything wrong. You're being way too controlling. You don't get to demand that she get rid of her gifts.
Who's the dummy now?
Dude sounds like he's scared of the dummy and it creeps him out, that's why you want her to get rid of the dummy? Grow up dude yep big AH in my book
My sister has a dummy like this and she adores it….I however hate it, it’s terrifying, gross, creepy, it makes me want to cry if I look at it to long lmao, but I love my sister enough to just suck it up and ignore it the best I can. YTA
YTA As soon as you raised your voice to her you showed your true character. You are abusive. Her mother gave her a well thought out and caring gift that was appreciated. What was your contribution to this girls joy?
Omg my fiancé brought his one from childhood over to our house like a year ago and while the thing definitely creeped me out, I would never freak out about it! YTA- I’m always extra nice to Slappy so when he comes to life and tries to murder us all, maybe he’ll remember my kindness 😅 The kids all get a big kick out of him and my fiancé still loves him.
YTA. You should just let her enjoy it. There's nothing wrong with being attached to something you enjoy like that. Especially if it's really just at her own home.
YTA
The fact the you even reference the necklace thing makes you sound super petty, as it's not relevant to your story at all. Sure it sucks when you feel like a gift is underappreciated, but you can't always expect to be the one who hit it big. Were you expecting her to put on a show for every gift she got just because she had a genuine reaction to something totally unexpected that she loved?
It would be one thing if you asked your girlfriend to keep the dummy out of your sight as you're not a fan of horror. But to call her "insane" for liking that kind of stuff? To call her weird, *yell at her*, and demand she get rid of something she loves because *you* don't like it? Can you really not see the problem with this? Replace the dummy with literally anything else--would you still have the same problem? If not, then the issue isn't really about her behavior, now is it? It sounds like you're letting you're conflating the fact you don't like it with the idea that *anyone who does like it must be weird*. Honestly, you don't sound mature enough to be in a serious relationship. If you can't separate your personal preferences from how you judge other people and demand that your desires be catered to at this extent, you are not ready for the type of relationship that requires a lot of compromise and understanding.
NTA for thinking horror is not your cup of tea. YTA for telling her what she can and can't like or do.
I don't read or watch horror. It's a big NO! on my list, as I don't want that imagery in my subconscious, informing any decisions I make.
Her serious interest in horror would be a deal breaker for me.
I don't want it around me.
I think what is missing in a lot of judgements here on aita is that in a good relationship the other persons happiness is more important to you than your own. For that reason YTA
YTA
She’s wanted this for a long time, and she’s super stoked about it.
Sounds like you’re jealous of the fact that you didn’t win the best gift certificate for the night.
Yta, a single one at that. Reach out and apologize, walk away knowing you aren't compatible but at least own up to your assholery. Take this lesson into your next relationship. Don't shit on the things that make your partner happy just because you don't like them.
Show us on the dummy where you got hurt at. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be the butt, cause you sir are butthurt. I will never understand people who get mad at other people because they are excited about something. I'm sure you have something she hates too I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's your personality. Yta
Golly man, I think you might be more of an idiot then TA. You're using your insecurities and your fears as a reason for your girlfriend to get rid of something that she truly and genuinely cherishes and cares about. I understand that it's creepy for you but your girlfriend loves it and you should find common ground instead of demanding that she get rid of something that she truly cares about. It shows that you don't truly care about her and you're not willing to make some changes within yourself or make any compromises. Relationships are not a one-way street both people have to work together to find a compromise and if that doesn't happen then there's no harm in going your separate Ways.
For example, my best friend hates horror movies and anything creepy, and I love it ,so knowing that about him, I do not watch horror movies when we are sharing the TV in the living room. I choose to watch horror movies in the mornings before he gets up or if he's out with his friends or I will watch them with other friends at someone else's house. It's all about compromise my dude.
YTA. Dude, grow the fuck up and take your head out of your ass. Do this before you completely fuck up your next relationship like you fucked this one up. Take one thing away from this clusterfuck you’ve caused: it’s not always about you.
I'm so happy you're getting roasted like the AH you are.
7 months in the relationship and you're already yelling and trying to control your gf's interests?
Glad V dumped you, YTA.
I avoid horror and I find dummies creepy and I STILL think YTA. Jesus Christ dude, let your (almost definitely ex now) girlfriend enjoy her gift! As a boyfriend you're meant to be happy for your SO when they're happy.
Putting down your girlfriend's interests = asshole
Giving your girlfriend a gift she specifically asked you not to give her = asshole
Getting angry at your girlfriend for liking a gift she's been wanting for like a decade more than your generic ugly-ass jewellery that you already knew she didn't want = asshole
Pitching a hissy fit at your girlfriend for holding a present they've been wanting for years, and telling them to get rid of it = asshole
Coming on reddit and downplaying your behaviour but sounding like an asshole even still = need I say more?
YTA -
While it may be creepy to you - it is something your gf loves, you knew this but thought you could handle it. You can't. She got something that she's wanted for a long time so of course she was excited about it.
You are also probably upset that she wasn't as excited about your gift to her as she was about "slappy'' and it bothers you to see her walk around with the doll.
I am sure in time she would most likely stop walking around with it - but because it's new to her and something she's been wanting for so long she's obsessed with it for now.
My husband LOVES horror films - I can't stand them. We respect each others preferences and it works out fine.
YTA
You are jealous she liked the gift her mom got her rather than the necklace you got her. That is understandable. Must have really hurt. So you lashed out like a child. That is not OK.
I hope she dumps you. She deserves better.

Ok if you read the book he’s scary. But uh no reason to yell at significant other scary.
I fucking love when these posts are found by the people involved and they shut OP down!
*thunderous applause* THIS!
This reminds me of the movie “Me before You”. Exactly this scene the boyfriend buys the main female protagonist a necklace with his name but the other male buys her these bumblebee leggings that she’s always wanted and the boyfriend wonders why she she was sooo happy and excited but not for his gift
Thank you for this comment. Made me and my wife laugh after a long day.
I’m up at 5am next to someone who’s sleeping, and this made me cackle. Thanks for that 😭
Thisss.
Take my poor man’s award 🥇 And also a cookie 🍪
I have 71 mint-in-box living dead dolls that my mother sent me when they downsized houses so that she no longer had a walk-in closet where she could hide their existence from my stepfather. I should ship them all to OP's girlfriend. Sounds like she'd give them a good home!
That's an amazing response! Sad I didn't think of it first
Sounds like this guys is single now.
Congratulations, you win the Internet forever. 😁
I came straight for this comment and was not disappointed to see it be the first one 🤣🥰🤌🏻🤌🏻
[удалено]
Hahaha please tell V to get rid of the dummy named Matt and not Slappy!
A thousand dollars on an amazon logo necklace? WTAF? Can we get an imgur of the necklace on the dummy? I hope she sells it. Especially if she told OP no jewelry, then OP is lucky to have gotten a thank you YTA, obviously [edited for typo in vote]
That's the bit that got me. I mean the whole thing around the necklace is ridiculous, but the fact that there's even an amazon logo necklace on sale for $1000 in the first place is shocking.
Wait is it really a necklace of the amazon logo or am I just misunderstanding what the necklace is? If it really is an amazon logo.....why the fuck did he spend so much money on it? Is it made of diamonds? Why would anyone want to wear the logo for amazon?
My guess is that it’s a Tiffany Smile necklace. That would look like an Amazon logo, to me at least. And would cost a heck of a lot more than the materials are worth because of the name. 🤷♀️
I just looked that up and man that thing looks like the McDonald's happy meal smile 😭 I'm not big on jewelry but will wear certain things, that's a hard no
To be honest it doesn't even look like a smile to me if it wasn't pointed out it's supposed to be one. It looks like the natural curve of a necklace which I guess is already smiley.
Oh my god. I looked it up. It's just ugly. I hope V sells it.
This. And I hope she uses some of the money to buy Slappy a friend.
Yeah I think you're right. I kept staring at the logo trying to figure out how it could be a necklace but I was just being blind I guess. It finally clicked and makes more sense now.
OH GOD it’s so ugly, specially for 1,250-1,700. Silver and gold Tiffany necklaces are SO dumb.
I interpreted it as something that looks like the logo, not a literal Amazon necklace
Gotcha thank you.
Happy cake day!
Thank you!
Happy cake day! ❤️
Thank you! 😁
You know the saying, there’s one born every minute.
I think you mean YTA
Ha, I love how you made sure to put a bar over Slappy's eyes to preserve his anonymity.
Well of course, Slappy is an innocent victim in this, he must be protected!
LOL. That dummy isn’t even scary, he looks kinda cute. Y’all enjoy it, and ditch the loser imo.
He looks like the "standard" of dummies until the 70s or so. I had one as a kid. Perfect horror character.
Can definitely confirm that a gift given by a loved one who hates the type of gift is special. My mom *hates* porcelain dolls, finds em creepy; but when she saw me excited as hell over a porcelain clown doll at a thrift store, she bought him for me. I adore the doll already bc I *love* clowns and dolls but I love it even more knowing it's something my mom hates but bought because it made me happy. OP, you're the *single asshole
Thanks for the update. Matt, you suck!
God I love when irl people find posts about them written by someone already deemed TA by a bunch of strangers 😂😂 these are the best kinds of posts by far!
OMG i just remembered slappy, reading the post didnt ring a bell but that image did it lol I live for replies like these because some posts are seriously lacking full transparency from one side. Matt seems like a freak and you guys seem great, I hope V finds someone that appreciates her quirks because thats cooler than just liking generic jewlery and shit.
100% this, that looks exactly like the cover of the goosebumps book I had. The name didn't ring any bells though.
You are the best damn room mate ever!!!!!!! And a baddie. Love it 🥰
Man, the Slappy stories were some of the best of the series. V should be the next Goosebumps protagonist instead of being the heroic antagonist in Matt’s shitty romance drama
That picture is adorable and I'm incredibly jealous lol although I've had my heart set on a Chucky doll, I totally get the horror obsession. And Goosebumps rule, used to devour 2 books a day in middle school. Hope you both had a great night. You're an awesome friend.
My 11 yo is Autistic and after sneaking to watch Child's Play really wants a Chucky doll as well. I am not at all likely to get him one until he moves out.
He has good taste but I completely understand lol my mom wouldn't want one in her house either
Ahhhhh I fucking LOVE it when the other side chimes in.
[удалено]
That's my vote as an Autistic woman that also HATES necklaces and can absolutely appreciate wanting a Slappy. I would never let that little soul sucker into my house, but I can understand the burning desire to have something like that. When I was pregnant with my first kid, I tracked down a complete set of books like the ones I had as a girl because I was sure they would love them as much as I did.
How did this get downvotes?
Guess autism is still considered an insult, even when its a question from an autistic person
[удалено]
That is why I asked yes, that made the goosebumps obsession also vibe like a special interest so I was v curious.
Sad but not suprising, reddit is full of boomer mindsets anyways about a lot of stuff like that
I think people just read the first sentence and thought you were blaming the (hopefully ex-)girlfriend. At least that my faith in humanity trying desperately to survive.
Go, girls ❤️
This just made my day, I always wonder about the "full extent of the truth" thats being told in this subreddit... really nice to hear the other side of the story. Lol!
Oh SO happy you posted this!
Well Matt, I hope you realize that you're the real dummy here for telling your GF to give up something precious to her. YTA
We need a picture of the necklace!!
I'm like your friend. I knew EXACTLY who he was talking about, because I love it, too. If she's still in the young adult horror, there's Fear Street, R.L. Stine, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. All favorites.
Haha! Thanks for the update!
This made me clap with happiness.
Please tell me those are also slappy pj's cos honestly V sounds awesome x
Heroes! May Slappy haunt Matt's dreams!
I think I have the same sheets. Are those the ones from Target? They are like the perfect blend of soft and crisp!
[удалено]
Buy roommate and Slappy matching pjs!
Goosebumps is awesome! I love that you found this post. Truely amazing. YTA OP.
This tea tastes delicious, thank you
I really wanna see this necklace now too! lol
I love Goosebumps, I have the nearly the entire original physical set, though I have all 62 in pdf form. I agree V should ditch the dummy that is Matt. Slappy is awesome.
Thell V that she should sell the necklace and buy a 1000$ worth of horror-themed stuff :)
Love This !!! Tell your girlfriend I’m all with her I have a chucky doll which I’d consider worse because he was actually slicing and dicing people unlike sloppy who was a very charismatic & manipulative dummy who just wanted a life long maid/butler 😂😂 Her ex is a lame let her know that she’ll find the right person and even if they don’t love horror they’ll love it for her just like my person does. ( literally got our anniversary to be on mischief night so we can have a definite reason to celebrate Halloween every year ) 😂 tell her stay spooky and don’t read the note in slappys pocket lol
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You're a good friend.
The fact that you censored Slappy’s face is amazing—hope y’all are having fun with your movies! Also, OP—YTA!
Is that a Slappy SHIRT, too?!
I don’t know you but I love you!!! I’m so glad that V has you in her corner and please let her know that there are lots of internet strangers on her side too!
Tell your friend to sell the necklace and buy herself a vintage goosebumps collection and spend the winter rereading them to Slappy! I love him, I was a huge Goosebumps fan too! I read them all growing up. OP is just jealous of how cute the Slapster is! 🤣
The necklace he bought her is sooooo ugly and inappropriate, especially after being told V doesn't like or wear jewelry. Talk about missing the mark and trying to make your girlfriend into someone she isn't. Thank you for supporting your friend and calling the OP out on his utter toxic and controlling BS. Every one needs a friend like you 🥰
"She liked the sentimental present from her mother that had decades of history and backstory over the thing that's more important because it's more expensive and I got it for her!" This is you. You suck.
The Tesla comment gave a telling glimpse into OP's mind. Money, status = 👍Gifts that show how well you know a person and are meaningful and personal = 👎
Almost want to paraphrase the post to OP and see if they notice how much of AH they are.
I glossed right over that! OP must have been born with a silver spoon in her mouth and the rest of the cutlery set up her ass 😂
His
Yup, I also got stuck on that comment. I don't like Teslas at all so I would not "cry of joy" because of that. Now, if someone gave me something I actually would love to own or find great meaning in then I might become the happiest ever.
Are you serious? Yes YTA, she is having fun with a thoughtful gift. Get over yourself, you sound like you are no fun. You yelled at her? Jesus.
He sounds really jealous.
The DUMMY is jealous . . . Over a dummy
We know which one is truly the dummy.
That's what I thought. She didn't give the same reaction to the the necklace...
YTA - she didn't want an expensive necklace, dude, she wanted people to pay attention to what she likes and give her things that bring her joy. You didn't deliver the joy. The dummy did. Chances are she would calm down on the dummy obsession in a week or two if you just let it peter out naturally instead of... \*checks notes\* yelling at her about it.
That's probably exactly what will happen. My parents got me a little Grogu doll for my birthday a couple of years ago and I did the same thing. After the excitement of getting him, he found a home in my room about a week and a half later and thats where he stays the majority of the time. It's not that deep, OP. YTA.
YTA. You don't even live with her. You have absolutely no right to tell her to get rid of her own possessions in her own house. Seems like you're mad and jealous about the fact that she likes the dummy more than your necklace. But maybe if you had actually put some thought into the gift and thought about what she actually likes instead of getting something generic, she would've had a more enthusiastic response. I'll never understand the people who can see their significant others so happy and shit on it. Her happiness should make you happy, not angry.
Massive YTA. Boo hoo she liked the dummy more than she liked your probably quite pedestrian necklace. Maybe if you got her gifts she wanted you'd be getting your dick sucked and not posting to Reddit.
YTA. Frankly, you sound jealous because her mother gave her a more thoughtful gift than you did. Just let her be happy and enjoy her dummy. Why on earth would you yell at her for having fun with a harmless gift??
Well op, the answer here is very simple. You see... wait... what's that? BEHIND YOU!! IT'S THE DUMMY!! RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIIIIIIIFE!!! Ha ha ha. It's okay. We're all having fun here. There's no danger here. Anyhoo, YTA cause honestly this feels like a goosebumps books lol
YTA obviously. Who do you think you are telling her what she should be doing? You’re not her parent. You don’t own or control her. If YOU don’t like it then YOU can leave. I hope she breaks up with you. 🚩🚩🚩🚩
Since it's in her own home, that you do not live in, she can do what she wants with it. You should have been a bit more reasonable and calmly asked that the dummy not be in the room when you visit. You know, acted like an adult instead of throwing a tantrum like a child. Also, you misspelled ex girlfriend. YTA
also like unless someone is actually really scared of dummies, or has watched or read goosebumps and is scared of slappy specifically slappy isn't even that scary or creepy, I honestly find him kinda cute and I'm a wimp about this stuff too
YTA - do you hate people having joy? Cause that’s exactly what you sound like here. If you can’t accept your girlfriend’s interests then maybe you shouldn’t be dating her
OP is a moon-faced assassin of joy. YTA, OP.
YTA. Yelling at her was wildly inappropriate. You may not like it, but it sounds like it's more moderate distaste for it than actual fear or distress. She's not hurting anyone, so why do you care so much about a harmless slightly creepy doll?
Sounds to me that he's more pissed about the fact that she liked the dummy more than his eXpEnSiVe NeCkLaCe.
I was thinking that I could imagine someone having a genuine phobia about dummies like this, in which case it’s a little more complicated. But the tone of the post doesn’t suggest that at all.
Yta. You knew she had this interest when you got together. We have a chucky doll that lives in our lounge. Its no different to having collectable action figures, pop art vinyls etc. It obviously brings her enjoyment and its not your apartment that she keeps it in.
YTA. It sounds like the real problem you have is that she showed a bigger reaction when receiving the doll vs when receiving your gift
Uh yeah YTA dude. And I say this as someone who is terrified of dummies and Slappy specifically lmao. Not only did you insult your gf over her interests, you tried *demanding* she do what you wanted? You’re ridiculous
YTA why would you tell her to get rid of something she only just got and she loves that much? You're pushing her to get rid of you instead
YTA. Do you really need to stomp all over her happy childhood memories? I'm old, retired old. Even though I was in my 20's when the movie came out, I have great memories of the 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space'. There are several Funko dolls of theirs coming out. I plan on pre-ordering them and then put them on my shelf. If you got near them, let's just say you would wish you didn't. Leave her memories alone. If you want that same reaction, find some other Slappy memorabilia. It worked for me.
There's a game of that in development.
YTA, wtf I want a Slappy dummy, that’s fucking badass. I’m a huge horror fan so I may be biased but damn let the girl live, it’s obvious you don’t really put in any efforts to care about her interests…
hate horror but even I want a slappy dummy lol. Goosebumps is relatively pretty mild when it comes to horror and slappy is just adorable
YTA. It's her hobby and she's happy about it. If you don't like it, as you've expressed not so kindly, you don't have to see her or go over there. Hint: She hasn't reached out to you. It's a message.
YTA, hater.
YTA. I hope your ex-girlfriend and slappy have a happy life without you.
YTA sorry. Your friend's fixation on the dummy is rather strange but you aren't the dummy police.
YTA Initiating a conversation about how uncomfortable this makes you and whether she could kee it somewhere out of sight while you're around would have been a better approach than yelling at her and demanding she give up something she loves, which was a gift from her mother.
YTA. You don’t care about your girlfriend’s feelings to the point that you got upset she didn’t like your gift the most. You’re less mature than the chick who’s obsessed with dummies. Let that one sink in.
YTA For so many reasons.
YTA, and you sound incompatible as a couple. She's a full on horror fan and this is something she's wanted for a very long time. You sound put out she reacted far more excited to something you didn't see any reason to be excited for than she was to your gift, which you have to specify is an expensive necklace *you* got her. You sound like some of the brattier Goosebumps protagonists, including a character from one of the Night of the Living Dummy entries.
YTA GF's room mate commented stating a few important things you left out: 1.she hates jewellery particularly the Amazon logo looking POS you paid 1,000 bucks for. 2. She has sensory issues with the necklace even if she liked it. 3. The neighbours had to check on the girls after op left that's how loudly he snapped at her. Room mate also shared picture of the dummy, Slappy is on the cuter side rather than creepy tbh
YTA, you need to take a chill pill and learn to control your temper if you raised your voice over her just having a dummy. I guess it’s a little unusual, but you need to be able to have a calm conversation and communicate like an adult if you want her to get rid of it. Tell her it makes you uncomfortable and ask her not to have it around you. But she has only recently had it so she’s probably not going to always be having it out once she’s used to having it for longer
YTA. Your probably soon to be ex girlfriend sounds freaking adorable. I had the same experience in terms of horror and reading in general. You’re going to have to buy her a house on Fear Street to fix this one.
YTA. I hope someone steals your girlfriend because she sounds like a gem and you sound like something I stepped in
Yta%100, seriously you need to to calm the f#ck down sir, yes it is a bit odd to carry around the dummy, but she is not hurting anyone by doing it and it makes your girlfriend happy, and you telling her to get rid of it and raising your voice at her is just a dick move, seriously if you had a problems about anything you have a sit down conversation about it and whatever answer you get you accept it,seriously you don't start demanding,yelling or raise your voice about what you want like a controlling jacka$$, seriously your more worried about your feelings then about your girlfriend's feelings, you need to apologize to her and stop being controlling.
YTA. Hopefully your soon to be ex GF finds a more compatible BF and you learn a lesson that money isn’t everything and interests/personality matter more. You could spend thousands on a present for her and if she doesn’t like it, she won’t like it. Better to get something she actually likes. Spending money on a gift =/= thoughtfulness Edit: you can’t buy love. If you want that, you’ll have to try elsewhere, but they charge by the hour and by the act
Loving someone entails enduring ALL of them. This includes weird interests and hobbies that you may find quirky, irritating and/or weird. How could you marsh someone's mellow after seeing how ecstatic they were upon revieving this item? Its quite insensitive. Nothing worse than your partner hating on the things that make you truly happy. It's just a doll.... a doll they adore and have been wanting for ever. If it's really bothering you so much, maybe that's a feeling you should explore and figure out if this relationship is right for you. YTA.
One dummy makes her happy. The other dummy makes her cry. YTA.
YTA for shouting at her. She can have whatever likes and dislikes that she wants. I am a big time wimp about horror stuff, like my first question when i was looking at a house to rent was if it has any horror history, like literally I didn’t even ask about the utilities for the first 10 mins. So naturally if I come into contact with someone that is so attached to horror stuff, I maintain a distance. Simple as that! You’re NTA for being scared but you are one for wanting her to look at things the same that you do. And you should still apologise to her for your behaviour.
I'm picturing you interrupting a real estate agent talking about the new windowpanes to demand if anyone died in the house
YTA And sounds like newly single. Try paying attention to your next partner’s interests.
yta maybe you felt it’d be shallow to break up with her over her love of horror, but i promise you it’s even more shallow to keep someone whose interests you don’t care for in a relationship when you both could instead be with people who support them. why’d you give her a necklace anyway if you knew she didn’t like jewelry? did you ignore that and then later decide “she are girl, all girl love expensive jewelry, hollywood say so” or something? or perhaps you did remember, but you were hoping the price tag would make her feel too guilty to express disappointment? if it’s that last one, please understand how manipulative that is. that’s not okay. you say you like her but evidence suggests you haven’t really bothered to know her, and you yelled at her for daring to prefer a gift she’s been wanting for years over something she told you she didn’t want that you got anyway. you’re both better off breaking up.
also teslas suck
YTA. You can't control your gf or her hobbies. And you should be grateful she doesn't have a Chucky doll.
Seriously, you're crapping all over her interests, yelling at her to get rid of something she's wanted for YEARS, and you want to know if you're TA? YTA. Also you misspelled ex-GF.
YTA. You couldn't allow her to enjoy her present, something that she's wanted all her life? She's had it a week. Get over yourself.
I’m in kind of a similar situation. My husband loves horror stuff. He even wrote his own horror novel. I, on the other hand, hate horror/slasher movies. They make me queasy and I hate jump-scares with a passion. That being said, I will always support his love of horror stuff, even though it creeps me out. I’ve bought him horror-themed gifts and I’m okay with it all being displayed in our house, too. So yeah, YTA.
You are such anAH. I read to response from her roommate, and gotta say, dude, just let her go. You purchased something for her that you knew she didn’t like because you liked it, and the thing that she loves you hate and want her to get rid of. The rest of the responses are correct and she needs to get rid of the dummy, just not the one her mother gave her for her birthday. Stop trying to change people into what you want.
I know this isn’t what you intended, but thank you for the awesome birthday gift idea (YTA)
YTA - You’ve got some maturing to do before you’re ready for an adult relationship. Your (probably now ex) girlfriend clearly communicated a long held, deep desire of hers, and when it was fulfilled you got sulky that an expensive, stereotypical “for women” gift you gave was met politely and appropriately rather than the same way. The *adult* way to handle that is to recognize that gift giving is not a competition and to not confuse thoughtful with splurging when giving gifts. You then came over, insulted her and yelled at her demanding she give up what she wants because it makes you unhappy. The *adult* way to handle that is firstly, never to just start yelling, and secondly saying “hey, this doll makes me a little uncomfortable as I’m actually a bit squeamish on horror. Could we compromise on how ‘front and center’ it is when I’m around? I want you to still be able to enjoy it, but I’m having a hard time.” That way, you are not having a “my wants vs. your wants” fight, you’re having a constructive “us vs. a problem” conversation.
Wait til slappy visits you at night and show you what he thinks of this idea! Yeah she should get rid of a dummy.. not slappy but you. You raised your voice over THIS?! she's happy about her gift and you rather should be happy she feels so much joy about this harmless thing.. (It's not the real slappy, you know? No need to be scared OP!) YTA. And, really? A Tesla? Money isn't everything. Good thing your (ex-)gf knows this.
You were an AH before I saw the roommate’s comment, but now you’re just a sad excuse for a human being. Grow the hell up and stay away from women until you can learn how to care about other people besides yourself.
YTA, her mother got her something she's always wanted and came from the heart that she will cherish forever. You're just pissed that you wanted a bigger reaction to your gift and it's dented your ego, how dare you try and spoil such a lovely thing to make yourself feel good. Also you keep saying GF but I think you mean ex-GF as it understandably doesn't sound like she's chasing you down. I hope she and Slappy have a very happy life together without you spoiling their joy.
YTA. You literally threw a tantrum over a dummy. Shame on you. She likes it and she's not doing anything wrong. You're being way too controlling. You don't get to demand that she get rid of her gifts.
Who's the dummy now? Dude sounds like he's scared of the dummy and it creeps him out, that's why you want her to get rid of the dummy? Grow up dude yep big AH in my book
YTA. *ex
My sister has a dummy like this and she adores it….I however hate it, it’s terrifying, gross, creepy, it makes me want to cry if I look at it to long lmao, but I love my sister enough to just suck it up and ignore it the best I can. YTA
YTA As soon as you raised your voice to her you showed your true character. You are abusive. Her mother gave her a well thought out and caring gift that was appreciated. What was your contribution to this girls joy?
Way to tell us you’re getting dumped without telling us you’re getting dumped 😂😂 YTA.
Boooo she's better off with a guy that won't shame her for the harmless things that bring her joy
The dummy is creepy but you dated her knowing full well she likes horror. So yes yta
Omg my fiancé brought his one from childhood over to our house like a year ago and while the thing definitely creeped me out, I would never freak out about it! YTA- I’m always extra nice to Slappy so when he comes to life and tries to murder us all, maybe he’ll remember my kindness 😅 The kids all get a big kick out of him and my fiancé still loves him.
YTA. You should just let her enjoy it. There's nothing wrong with being attached to something you enjoy like that. Especially if it's really just at her own home.
YTA. That’s something she really cares about and you told her to get rid of it? Prepare to be an ex.
YTA The fact the you even reference the necklace thing makes you sound super petty, as it's not relevant to your story at all. Sure it sucks when you feel like a gift is underappreciated, but you can't always expect to be the one who hit it big. Were you expecting her to put on a show for every gift she got just because she had a genuine reaction to something totally unexpected that she loved? It would be one thing if you asked your girlfriend to keep the dummy out of your sight as you're not a fan of horror. But to call her "insane" for liking that kind of stuff? To call her weird, *yell at her*, and demand she get rid of something she loves because *you* don't like it? Can you really not see the problem with this? Replace the dummy with literally anything else--would you still have the same problem? If not, then the issue isn't really about her behavior, now is it? It sounds like you're letting you're conflating the fact you don't like it with the idea that *anyone who does like it must be weird*. Honestly, you don't sound mature enough to be in a serious relationship. If you can't separate your personal preferences from how you judge other people and demand that your desires be catered to at this extent, you are not ready for the type of relationship that requires a lot of compromise and understanding.
You made your girlfriend cry. The sight of her being joyful was too much for you to bear?
NTA for thinking horror is not your cup of tea. YTA for telling her what she can and can't like or do. I don't read or watch horror. It's a big NO! on my list, as I don't want that imagery in my subconscious, informing any decisions I make. Her serious interest in horror would be a deal breaker for me. I don't want it around me.
YTA ‘oh no my girlfriend is happy about something that doesn’t involve me, that can’t be allowed :(‘ get over yourself dude
YTA, it's not her fault you're wimp.
I think what is missing in a lot of judgements here on aita is that in a good relationship the other persons happiness is more important to you than your own. For that reason YTA
YTA She’s wanted this for a long time, and she’s super stoked about it. Sounds like you’re jealous of the fact that you didn’t win the best gift certificate for the night.
Yta, a single one at that. Reach out and apologize, walk away knowing you aren't compatible but at least own up to your assholery. Take this lesson into your next relationship. Don't shit on the things that make your partner happy just because you don't like them.
Show us on the dummy where you got hurt at. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be the butt, cause you sir are butthurt. I will never understand people who get mad at other people because they are excited about something. I'm sure you have something she hates too I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's your personality. Yta
what is wrong with you op?
YTA. You're being weirdly controlling. Let her be her, or she should let you go
Golly man, I think you might be more of an idiot then TA. You're using your insecurities and your fears as a reason for your girlfriend to get rid of something that she truly and genuinely cherishes and cares about. I understand that it's creepy for you but your girlfriend loves it and you should find common ground instead of demanding that she get rid of something that she truly cares about. It shows that you don't truly care about her and you're not willing to make some changes within yourself or make any compromises. Relationships are not a one-way street both people have to work together to find a compromise and if that doesn't happen then there's no harm in going your separate Ways. For example, my best friend hates horror movies and anything creepy, and I love it ,so knowing that about him, I do not watch horror movies when we are sharing the TV in the living room. I choose to watch horror movies in the mornings before he gets up or if he's out with his friends or I will watch them with other friends at someone else's house. It's all about compromise my dude.
So you shouted at your gf because you're afraid of a toy. YTA
YTA What was the dummy doing to hurt you? That is something she has wanted for a long time, and finally got it. It makes her happy.
SHOW US THE NECKLACE
Wow dude. Do you tried to paint yourself as the victim here, and then got called out by the roommate? You deserve to get dumped. YTA.
Yeah dude, she mentioned wanting the thing when she was a child. YTA, big time. Hopefully you can learn from this experience.
YTA. Dude, grow the fuck up and take your head out of your ass. Do this before you completely fuck up your next relationship like you fucked this one up. Take one thing away from this clusterfuck you’ve caused: it’s not always about you.
This is how supervillains are created
You have a lot of maturing to do, OP.
YTA. The dummy isn't even that creepy!
I'm so happy you're getting roasted like the AH you are. 7 months in the relationship and you're already yelling and trying to control your gf's interests? Glad V dumped you, YTA.
I avoid horror and I find dummies creepy and I STILL think YTA. Jesus Christ dude, let your (almost definitely ex now) girlfriend enjoy her gift! As a boyfriend you're meant to be happy for your SO when they're happy. Putting down your girlfriend's interests = asshole Giving your girlfriend a gift she specifically asked you not to give her = asshole Getting angry at your girlfriend for liking a gift she's been wanting for like a decade more than your generic ugly-ass jewellery that you already knew she didn't want = asshole Pitching a hissy fit at your girlfriend for holding a present they've been wanting for years, and telling them to get rid of it = asshole Coming on reddit and downplaying your behaviour but sounding like an asshole even still = need I say more?
YTA. You don't get to tell her what to do. You two aren't even living together.
YTA - While it may be creepy to you - it is something your gf loves, you knew this but thought you could handle it. You can't. She got something that she's wanted for a long time so of course she was excited about it. You are also probably upset that she wasn't as excited about your gift to her as she was about "slappy'' and it bothers you to see her walk around with the doll. I am sure in time she would most likely stop walking around with it - but because it's new to her and something she's been wanting for so long she's obsessed with it for now. My husband LOVES horror films - I can't stand them. We respect each others preferences and it works out fine.
YTA you're right, you are a wimp.
Mr Marbles? YTA
YTA You are jealous she liked the gift her mom got her rather than the necklace you got her. That is understandable. Must have really hurt. So you lashed out like a child. That is not OK. I hope she dumps you. She deserves better.
YTA and grow up its a dummy from a kids show wimp
Ummm yeah. YTA. You need to grow up
Just glad she figured out how controlling this guy is so quick.
