I sleep with a stuffed bear that I bought about a year ago, and I don’t need it to sleep, I just like to sleep with it. When I first started dating my current partner I would throw him in my closet when he would come over. One day, I was rushing to get ready before he came over, and I accidentally forgot to put it away, as he was hidden between my pillows. My partner pulled him out and giggled, but I was so embarrassed. Somehow his roommates found out and they were giving me a hard time about it, so I still feel a little embarrassed. Is this a big deal?
Guys, do you care if your girlfriend has a stuffed animal she sleeps with?
Not really. Sure, it's kind of odd, but we ALL have odd things about us. For example: I know a man who, if you met him, would strike you as a perfectly normal 40-something husband and father. Loves his kids, loves his wife, works a normal (if not particularly interesting) job; a regular guy in all respects. But the moment he hears "It's Raining Men", he goes NUTS. He will start dancing- and I mean DANCING- with such vehemence that absolutely *everyone* sits up and takes notice. If the song stops, he'll start singing as well (which, on top of heavy dancing, is actually impressive physical exertion).
I've been out with him when this happened and even the super-flamboyant woo-hoo fabulous gay guys came over to tell him to tone it down; he just got MORE INTENSE. I even (and I want to stress that I had previously gained the deceased's permission) saw him do it at a FUNERAL. That also lead me to have the odd experience of having someone trying to punch me, but laughing too hard to land a blow.
Now I don't know if his wife knew about his habit beforehand, but she definitely does now, and when asked about it, just laughs. If she can tolerate THAT type of thing, sleeping with a stuffed animal is *nothing*.
He just acknowledge the toy, but those roomates giving hard time afterwards come on wtf is wrong with them? Get a life maybe? Girls can do many things like that and its fine, its feminine thing to do so and you're a female so its nothing against your nature.
You might be the last survivor of the zombie apocalypse but it will be on a mountain of dead bodies who protected you and your teddy bear. And that would be fine by me if I was one of those on the mountain of bodies. That's cute. And cute is worth preserving. It's worth fighting for.
It is okay to be this way. You try to fix this and you mess things up with your guy and everyone around you. You try to lose some of your traits to some criticism, real or imagined, and you can lose the very thing that your closest people loved about you in the first place.
Nah, though it’s an indicator they have insecurities that will need to be addressed. It doesn’t bother me though. It’s also often (but not always) a good indicator that the girl is at least a little kinky.
He told me that sometimes when I’m asleep he will put my bear in my arms and he says it’s the cutest thing. It made me feel better about having it, I just felt embarrassed after his friends made comments.. :(
Probably not if he giggled. I tend to think the same way a woman would if it were a guy that had it LOL, but to each their own. It's understandable to want that "comfort". Like a lot of people "hug" their pillow when they sleep (I'm one of them), and it's probably for the same reason, just a different object.
Actually, its endearing... MANY of my past companions had their first juvenile innocent pre-teen masturabatory humping, grinding experiences with over-sized stuffed animals. "... keepin ALL mah secrets safe tonight". ;)
As long as it's not stuffed with victims innards or is some creepy fucking thing, I really couldn't care what shares our bed.

this past Christmas i gave my s. o. a stuffed dog that looked like one of the dogs they have. i picked it up for them when we were in ny and they were at some business meetings. it was a sentimental way or reminder of our trip together even though the trip got screwed up
it's fine, stop letting other people dictate what you like. A girlfriend could have a hundred stuffed animals and I'd not think it weird.

The stuffy is fine, not keen on the 'room mates 'somehow' found out about it' though, that seems like a betrayal of confidence to me, so perhaps not the guy you want in your life.
